My TV is not HDMI. Will this machine work?

I have mine hooked to a 10 year old Sanyo, I don't think HDMI was even around whenthis TV was built. The Magnavox combo has co-axial input/output jacks as well as theRCA type I/O jacks, and the "S-cord" I/O. I have also hooked it up to a 17 year oldRCA TV that only has co-axial. This unit has no tuner, so it must be hooked up to a cable, or dish box or another unit with a tuner. There is also a version of this unit witha tuner built in for a few dollars more

Depends on what you want to do and what kind of inputs your TV has. If you want it to play VHS and DVD on your TV, it has HDMI, S-Video, and composite video outputs. If your TV can accept one of these, then that works. It does not have an RF receiver. So, If you want to record incomming television, it won't work. If you want to copy VHS to DVD (the reason I bought it), then all you need a monitor (your TV or computer monitor (HDMI can be cheaply converted to a monitor's DVI)) so you can read and operate it's menues.

What is the model # of this recorder that has a built in tuner? Do you have one?
1703724
Yes, you can still hook it up to your TV by either a component video cable or the standard red/white/yellow cables aka RCA connections. HDMI is just the VERY best as its just one cable and gives you the best viewing.

Yes, although HDMI is the way to connect for best picture quality, you can use the "old" way with the Red Yellow and White plugged cable. Have had this machine for some time now and I am very pleased with it.

JUST DON't I bought one and it worked swell for about 3 months. Then it kept ejecting my VCR. My remedy, from the supplier, was to take it and get it repaired, that it was probably dust in the machine. I have had many, many recorders and VCRs and with proper care they last forever. No, they would not replace it. So........I'd say watch it!!

Check the hdmi output with a different device, and check the tv's input with a different device

It will need to be plugged into your TV's audio output (if it has one) for it to work. sorry I can't help much more than that. Good luck.

No you need to search on Amazon for an HDMI Converter that works with your tv's inputs. Chromecast HDMI to HDMI switch = HDMI output Chromcast HDMI to HDMI Converter = Older TV's get picture

Yes the converter works. You will need two HDMI cables. One to run to the converter and one that leaves the converter to the TV.

No. It won't work. HDMI is digital and RCA in analog. They won't talk to each other. Don't waster your money.

Well the question is, what's an old tv? You need to use an HDMI cable. So if your tv doesn't support HDMI then the answer is no.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

Yes, this should work fine. The unit functions as an HDMI port when hooked up by RCA 3 wire to your TV.

Yes it will work all you have to do is put it the usb port and the tv will do the rest

It works only for HDTV's. It won't come with a built in converter box inside.

As long as it has an HDMI port available, I see no reason why it shouldn't. Use a high quality "high speed" HDMI cable and you should be fine. It also has composite (RCA) connectors for hooking up to older TVs as well. But I suspect you'll only be using it or high def video, so you'll just be hooking up via HDMI. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issues. It's just another HDMI video source.

It should work. Only reason it shouldn't be working is if the HDMI port on the Blue Ray is not giving enough power. If you do get it, I suggest trying it on a TV with HDMI and try connecting it to a VGA Laptop

It depends on if your TV is HD ready. If not, you will not receive the HD signal without the converter box.

Sorry but no, this is a switcher, not a converter. Search on "HDMI to "Your TV's Connector (like coax, component)" converter"
