Using a DVD recorder to record radio programs


I recently purchased a DVD recorder to make copies of home movies from video tapes but have played around with it and found I could input audio signals via my receiver to the analog inputs on the dvd recorder. I've tried recording the audio only in the extended mode and it sounds very good. I used to do this with my vhs machine so I could copy entire radio programs so as to listen to them at a later time.
Any comments on doing this with the dvd recorder? Will there be a big difference in sound quality depending on the speed chosen to record the programs? The machine I have allows up to 8 hrs of recording time in extended mode. I was also wondering if I were to feed prerecorded dvd video/audio signals to the dvd recorder via my receiver would the copy guard still be a factor or will the receiver act as a filter and allow the dvd recorder to copy the movie? All in the interest of science mind you!
Comments/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

A full frame Time Base Corrector will defeat macrovision. Look around the internet for Datavideo TBC-1000. You would install this between the outputs of the dvd player and the inputs of the dvd recorder. However, your best bet would be a simple computer program like DVD Shrink.
