How does it have a built in VCR? and does it slice bananas?

It doesn't have a VCR built in, but it can definitely slice bananas. The only issue is you lose about an inch of banana at the slice because the edge is a bit dull compared to other banana slicing implements.

The food slicer is electric. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

No, I am disappointed that it doesn't. I had expected it too. The DVD is only a player. The VCR records and pays back.

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

It does not record and playback, but we easily hooked ours up to an old VCR and do our recording/playback from that.

This one does not have a battery operated mechanism. So the VCR you insert this unit into has to pull the tape. It is not as smooth as the battery assisted unit, but does work.

This machine has some issues and limitations! While it works and plays both VHS and DVD, it is designed to record only in the VHS mode and not the DVD mode, and the digital display is only for tracking the play of VHS tapes. The machine often makes noises in the play function of both the VHS and DVD modes which I find annoying, as I have to turn up the volume a bit on the movie to drown out the noise of the player. The Sony machine I had for over 10 years before it developed an issue with the DVD player was way better quality wise.

Don't be silly. Obviously if you use it on a metric banana, it will produce metric slices.

Yes it does. I have it connected to a vcr and it will record and play back. You can set the vcr to record just like a regular tv program. It is connected like a tv/vcr/cable or dish set up. I have it set to input / line and when i record i set the vcr to input / line. The only thing is it is hard to get vhs tapes. I like the 10 hour ones but have more luck with finding 8 hour tapes. I tried setting it up with a dvr but have not figured out how to get it to play back yet.

We did find a VCR/DVD combo-Magnavox ZV427MG9. It has worked well for us. Good luck in your search.

You need to hook it up to an external tuner, like a cable box or dish. In addition to playing and recording on VHS tapes, it also functions as a DVR, so you always have to hook it up to other stuff. If you are looking for just a VCR player/recorder, go for one that has a built in tuner. If you are looking for just a VCR player that you can hook up to your TV,look for just a VCR palyer.

It is an adaptor so the mini dv tape can play on the dvc player. It is not a machine for playback just an adapter

If you have a analog TV, your digital TV converter can act as a tuner. I have a smart antenna and I connect the smart antenna to the converter. Then, I connect the digital converter to the VCR/DVD Recorder with RCA cables.

Watching, requires a Tuner and a Display. Recording, requires a Tuner. Since this VCR only has 1 Tuner, you can only record and or watch one single channel at the same time.
