Can anyone tell me if older technology VCR tape machine can be hooked up for VCR tape watching? Thank you in advance of your response! :)

I am unsure about this, because I have never tried to connect the TV with the VCR. If you have a friend who knows something about the connections in the back of TV and computers, they may be able to help answer the question.

Mine is hooked up to cable, through a cable box, and you would have to set the vcr to channel 4, to set the cable box to tape. Considering you have to set channels on it, with the cable box, I would think so, but cannot say for sure.

Hi Jim, Yes that is what I use mine for, I have hundreds of hours of VHS tapes that I shot of my family. I am converting them and burning them onto DVD's. My VCR has two composite outputs, I connect one to my capture card and the other to the convertor and the hdmi output to my big screen monitor. Works great and the quality surprised me.

Me too. I'd like to know if it is possible to connect RCA from say a VCR to view tapes on the PC LCD monitor I have.

Can you record to the VHS from the TV? I frequently set the VCR to record a show if I'm out, but would not be interested in keeping it forever. I do not have a cable "box" or satellite.

I bought this to play some old 8mm tapes I made in the late 80s and early 90s. I can also use it to transfer the tapes to regular VHS or a r/w DVD player, but I have not figured out how to transfer them to my computer yet.

After sending my answer, I looked at the others. My experience with this machine was very positive. I have copied over 100 VCR tapes onto DVD's, and have had no problems other than the directions being very confusing. My VCR tapes were very old, and I had to clean the heads every so often too.

Yes-this Panasonic Cassette Player works real well with old cassettes, providing that the tapes are in good condition. I use mine all the time to play old tapes that are my favorites. As a matter of fact at the moment I am on vacation in the mountains and had planned to bring my tape recorder so I could play books on tapes, and wouldn't you know it I forgot to pack it. I am so angry with myself as I brought all my cassettes and nothing to play them on. I will need to purchase a second Panasonic to keep in our RV. Toinette

It does not support 8mm tapes of any kind -- these kind of tapes can't be played in a regular VCR (no adapter could ever make that happen based on all I've read). This adapter is for VHS-C tapes only!I don't know of any kind of VCR that can play these -- I'm under the impression that they can only be played through the video camera, but I'm no expert on 8mm tapes.

If your vcr has rca outputs (red white and yellow) you can use this adapter. If it just has an antenna cable output you need something else

I am not sure what you mean for old tapes. You can use standard 8mm 8, or, the Hi 8 Digital tape. See the manual at: https://docs.sony.com/release/CCDTRV128.pdf good luck

You might try it. I don't think that is what it was made for, but it does a good job from an older VCR to the new TV. 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.

yes. you can record digital tv programs on your vcr tapes using the digital-to-analog settop box and a vcr machine. but I would connect your tv to vcr, instead of directly connecting the digital-to-analog to a vcr.

I don't think you can. I looked at mine, and I did not see anything on there that said DVR - for Record. But a note, I quit using the VCR a few months in because it starting eating tapes. I only use it for DVD's.

I just bought this machine and am not sure how to record on VHS. The manual goes from hooking it up to programming the show. I need the inbetween. What happened to channel 3? So far I had to go in the menu on the TV and change it (source?) to VCR, then turn on VCR, plug in the show, then I had to go back in the menu and change the mode from VCR to TV. What a hassle. Is this right? Yesterday I talked to Toshiba and NOW they said taping OTA on VHS might not work. Can someone help me that actually has performed this task? I have Samsung HDTV, rooftop antenna, and no cable.
