Can this model record onto tape as a VCR would?

This unit is obsolete and no longer made ... I cannot answer your specific question ... just be aware this unit sold "New" for under $300 - so do not over pay : )

Yes, I believe it can. I have recorded from my DVR and also from my video camera and am completely satified with the unit. If you have doubts you can contact the manufacturer from their website.

Hi, I doubt it. You have to plug a cassette into the cassette recorder...good luck.

Yes, you can record on a VCR with it. Just connect the coax cable from the digital converter box to the back of your VCR, then connect a coax cable from the VCR to your TV. It works just like if you had cable hooked up to your VCR.

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.

I didn't receive an instruction booklet and have not tried recording. I think it will record to tapes.

No you can not record from CD to cassette tape because this model does not record. Their are Sony radios that do record though. artras@att.net

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

Yes, you can record from a cassette or I would imagine you can also record from CD. My machine is new enough, I haven't done that yet. I also use the variable speed feature to slow down music for teaching dance.

I doubt it. I can't view or record from my VCR. I would buy a more reliable cable. Other users said this one is so inexpensive it is not worth returning so manufacturer doesn't care. I agree. Others for a few dollars more appear to have good reviews.

Yes. Press play on your VCR and press record. Like any recorder it can record the signal being displayed on the TV it is connected to.

You can record and re-record MiniDV tapes, but each time you record, the quality decreases. Professionals (and semi-professionals) never re-record because of this, but it is certainly possible.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

No your camera hast to at least playback. This unit does not accept cassettes. Also please disregard some of the negative comments on here. I see several people stating that transferring analog to this unit that the picture is not so good. However, they most likely failed to put the burner into the highest quality setting to fit more on the DVD. I have used 2 different brands of VCR's, A Samsung, mini DV camcorder hooked up via firewire, a Sony CX110 HD camcorder hooked up via USB and several SD memory cards taken with a Kodak camera and have had no trouble with any transfers as of yet.

i think, but not so sure, but this digital system has a binary # 0 & 1 only, therefore, whether u record it in a pal or ntsc, it might work in a playback. pls research further... we're now in digital & does not use analog such vhs, betamax. pls consider my answer as inconclusive...
