How do I record to a VHS from my DVD player?

I have a Sony SLV-D300P which is a dual VCR/DVD player. Is there a way I can play a DVD and record it to a VHS tape? I've tried playing the DVD and pressing record but that doesn't work. Any other suggestions? I'd like to compile several of our "Elmo's World" DVDs onto one tape so it will be long-playing for our son who is addicted!

It isn't a DVD/VHS Recorder....It is a combo unit. That means each part works independently and it does not copy VHS or DVD to the other. You need to hook a VHS unit up to the audio / video outputs from the DVD player.

VCR/DVD combo audio/video output (red, white, yellow) to the input of a VHS unit. Hit play on the DVD and hit record on the VHS unit to copy the material. If you want to see what you are recording just hook a TV up to the VHS audio video output and put the TV on ch 3. Hopefully the DVD isn't coded for copyright infringements so all you get is snow on the tape.
