How to connect the machine so that I can copy VHS to DVD?

Simple. It has direct dubbing so you insert the tape you want to copy into the video cassette slot. Then place a blank recordable disc into the tray. Go into the menu and tell the device to dub from VHS to DVD. Set up the quality of recording you want on the disc and all that. Then sit back and let the machine do its job. The only connections you really need for this are to have the power cord plugged in and have the output connected to your TV.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

There are two output interfaces, one is HDMI and the other is analog. The analog cable has the video and audio RCA plugs that are color coded yellow for video and the audio has a white and red for left and right channel stereo. Most VHS tape recorders have an analog input that will match this analog out, so you should be able to record the cameras output directly to a VHS tape.

There are all kinds of converters on NewEgg like this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156023 It allows you to capture analog signals (like your VCR) onto your computer. Here is a link to an Amazon search for VCR to DVD recorder

Prof. Whitebread: Yes, you can hook up a VCR and record VHS tapes to DVD with this recorder. I transferred all my VHS movies (all that were not copy-protected) to DVD using this recorder. You can apparently do some editing too, although I have not tried this. You can read all about it on the downloadable owner's manual in PDF, available at this URL: http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/models/dr570/docs/dr570_om_e.pdf

there are rca inputs on the back for bd/dvd, sat, vcr, I think tape and one other maybe aux. Google the model number for manual there should be a picture of the back to show connections

I'm not sure what you need. I just took the cables supplied and connected it up to my old Toshiba tv via a Radio Shack switch box. The box connects a vcr, a laser disc player and my dvd player.

If you don't already own the equipment necessary to create a dvd, I woild suggest you find a company in your local area that can provide the service for you. If you are not into VHS to DVD conversion and own the equipment, it would not be practical to purchase it to do one or two tapes. As the tapes are yours, they will not have any copy protection scheme on them and you will not require the GREX unit for this.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

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!

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.

It is hard to answer this question directly since you are asking if you need something that does not and cannot exist. 'RCA' refers to a type of connector while 'USB' refers to a type of hardware-software interface. What you need is a device that converts audio and video to the USB standard required by VHS to DVD. I use a Honestech VIDBOX and I have always assumed that this was proprietary on the USB-software side although I realize now that I am not sure about this. Anyway, I would not attempt to use this software with anything other than a VIDBOX or some similar device that claims compatibility with the VHS to DVD software.

Gda, just put in the tape and slowly close it and when you are doing this, watch to see the tape move to the out egde of the adapter when closing the door. Then put it into your vhs machine. I have used this product just 2x and it works fine. It is just made (what seems to me) cheaply. So just handle with care, thats all.

This DVR does not have audio/video inputs, so you can't connect a VCR to it to copy tapes.There is a Magnavox HDD/DVD recorder that CAN copy tapes, as described here... copy link text and paste in your browser's address bar:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/106-dvd-recorders-standard-def/940657-magnavox-557-537-535-533-515-513-2160a-2160-2080-philips-3576-3575-a.html#post12244086

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

I have been converting VHS tapes with copy protection to DVD. I installed the XDIMAXunit in the video output from the VHS player between the player and the DVD recorder (You need two cables for this). The left and right audio cables went directly to the DVD recorder.

Yes. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).
