The manual only shows instructions for recording to the vcr. I would say no.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

No, the unit can not record to a DVD player directly. You may be able to transfer the file to another device (like a computer) and then convert it to a DVD, but this would not be a simple task.

You can record on either dvd or vcr from the tv. You can also copy your vhs tapes to dvd. In my experience this machine often malfunctions and I would strongly advise against buying it. Good luck.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

It depends on the VHS tape. A copy-protected tape will not record to any disk correctly.

Yes. A blank DVD must be loaded in the machine (there is no buffer / harddrive for storage). Program as you would a regular video recorder. Or press record to start recording immediately.

Yes you can record on DVD's with it but you need blank disks. Unless you get get DVD-RW you can re format and record again

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!

Yes, as long as you have a tuner or cable box. You must have a tuner or cable box with Audio/Video outputs (the white/yellow/red outputs). I use my cable box to record to the unit (VHS or DVD) every day.

I have no experience with this specific machine, but the Emerson DVD recorder/VCR which I had and functioned would allow the recording from VCR tapes to DVD and vice versa. I can also tell you that the machine I had was the first DVD recorder I ever bought and it outlasted five other machines. When it ceased to function as a recorder it allowed me to finalize all partially filled discs I had recorded on it and still will play recorded, finalized dvds. When the VCR portion of the machine I had ceased to perform in the VCR capacity I found that I could input from another VCR and then record from the tapes to discs on the Emerson DVD recorder. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! Remember though that the real beauty of these machines is that you can record on vhs and then dub to dvd. For example, I regularly record to vhs and then burn to dvd movies and series I want to keep. DVD-R units will let you capture and hold a movie/show/whatever for as long as you like, but you cannot transfer that recording to a permanent source. On these units, you can record and then burn to the more stable medium, dvd. However, you can record to vhs and then play it. Remember, anything you do on tape is in real-time, so you can watch it as well as burn it to dvd.

If you have a cd burner and a way to connect RCA jacks to the burner, then you can record from tapes to CD's

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.
