Can I use my funai recorder to copy my old 8mm tape to DVD using this sony?

You will have to check your recorder to see if its the kind of connection necessary to copy

Hi Amazon Customer, this Sony CCDTRV43 uses an A/V connecting cables (yellow and red) for video and audio. You may check your funai recorder is it supports this kind of connection. -Ely

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

I assume you want to record from the VHS side to the DVD side of your combo, then no you cannot use it. If, however, you are using a different machine to play a video and are using the combo only to record on, then yes, you can use it.

This Funai DVD / VHS combo will accept stereo audio (red & white or black RCA plug) and composite video (yellow RCA plug) inputs, as well as S-video (S-video plug) input from any external device. If your TV set has an audio output (headphone jack or RCA jack(s)) output, and a video output (yellow RCA jack or S-video jack), you can connect the audio and video OUTPUTS of your TV to the INPUT jacks on your Funai. You can then record, using the Funai, whatever audio and video is being output from your TV set. Since this Funai IS NOT a digital video recorder (DVR), in the conventional sense, you will have to tune the TV to whatever channel you want to record, and then start the Funai recording process manually using Funai controls. Since the Funai does not have a TV tuner, or a type F coaxial cable connector for connection to cable, satellite or TV antenna wiring, you cannot use the Funai to set up TV channels to be tuned, nor a time to start recording automatically. Other than your TV set, you can use any device capable of receiving a TV signal (audio and video), such as a standard VCR which includes a tuner, or a cable box or satellite receiver, to provide signals to your Funai for recording. You could use a VCR to record your desired TV programming on a VHS cassette, and then use the Funai to copy the VHS tape to DVD. Video quality from this process will be fairly poor, since VHS tape recording does not provide the TV quality you're used to getting from either DVDs or from your cable, satellite or antenna signal provider. The quality of DVD video recorded using your Funai cannot be any better than the video from the source you use (output of your TV set, output from a VCR, or a tape made with your VCR). If you have a cable or satellite box with audio and composite video (yellow RCA jack) or S-video outputs, that's probably the best signal source you can use with the Funai. 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. I bought this camera for that sole purpose. I have many old tapes and they all played well.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

I know that you can use this system to transfer footage from the old hi8 tapes. I have an old canon 8400 camcorder that uses hi8 tapes, and I have made dvds using this system. It was quick and simple and long as you have the cables for your old camcorder.

that's a little confusing but I think what you're saying is dvd output to DVD recorder I believe it will work but copyright stuff probably won't copy

You can as long as your DVD has a record function. There shouldn't be any other reason not to be able to (other than read disc errors).

yes it does play 8mm analog tape it is not a digital camcorder. I purchased this to transfer over old 8mm analog video to digital DVDs

I had one of these sony recorders. I could not get the thing to work right. It made 1 or 2 Dvds, & that was it. I sent it back, got my money back, & never used one again. I do not think it will covert the codec( the NTSC) format, but I'm not sure. Do you have a computer? If you do, There's a huge variety of dvd direct to pc coverter systems to chose from. I'd try that.

I have no experience with this specific machine, but the Emerson DVD recorder/VCR which I had and functioned would allow the recording from VCR tapes to DVD and vice versa. I can also tell you that the machine I had was the first DVD recorder I ever bought and it outlasted five other machines. When it ceased to function as a recorder it allowed me to finalize all partially filled discs I had recorded on it and still will play recorded, finalized dvds. When the VCR portion of the machine I had ceased to perform in the VCR capacity I found that I could input from another VCR and then record from the tapes to discs on the Emerson DVD recorder. Hope this helps. I have no experience with this specific machine, but the Emerson DVD recorder/VCR which I had and functioned would allow the recording from VCR tapes to DVD and vice versa.

Not unless you have a separate VCR. This is just a DVD recorder. I recorded all my old VCR tapes with it, from a VCR, and it works great.

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

I had a Sony DVD Recorder to VHS model RDR-VX535 which would record on Verbatim DVD-R 16X or DVD-R 8X speed. I managed to transfer only 5 home movie tapes to Verbatim DVD-R 16X or 8X speeds. Then the machine wouldn't work anymore. The Sony technician told me I needed to get more 8X discs, which was not true. 16X worked fine. The quality of the machines is not dependable. I sent it back to be restored to factory condition, got it back and it had the same problem with which I started. Fortunately, Costco gave me my money back. Memorex discs didn't work. S. M. Cox So maybe try Verbatim discs. Good luck.
