Two thoughts:
-Rather than a DVD player, hook up a digital TV tuner ("converter box"). DVD players often have anti-copying signals and it seems possible that such signals could even mess up a VTR like that one.
-You could try rigging up the "S-video" output from a device (Super VHS VCR ideally, or a DVD player remembering the anti-copy comments above; if you are realy lucky you would have a Channel Master CM-7000 digital tuner that has S-video out) into the video and color inputs on that VTR.
Years ago, I played with one of those one-inch reel-to-reel VTRs, and if I remember right, it recorded and played in color by itself OK. I do not remember the brand, but IVC does sound familiar.
