Looking for a DVD/VHS Player/Recorder Combo?

joal1185

Hi, I've found this one: TOSHIBA RD-XV50KF DVD/VHS Player/Recorder Combo. But I need to know if it records on DVD from VHS and if i can download any manual for full technical specification. Any suggestions will be appreciated :) Thanks
Need an internal hard disk also!

Answer
this model has internal hard drive and can record a DVD from the VHS playback. However, no DVD recorder works with VHS movies that have MacroVision copy protection, they will just record your home recorded and camcorder VHS tapes.

Problem connecting DVD player to TV/VCR Combo?

Q. I recently inherited an old Panasonic Omnivision VCR Plus TV/VCR combo. I just plugged it in, set up the channels and stuck in a VHS tape. It works. Intending to set this up in a spare room for guests, I thought it would be nice to connect a DVD player to this as well. The TV only has two jacks on the front though: one video and one audio input. So, I plugged in these cables and connected them to the corresponding video and audio outputs on the DVD player. I get a picture but...no sound. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

Thank you.

Answer

How do I find out if my VCR player will play PAL format tapes?

best dvd vhs player combo image

tricksy_ma

I have a Magnavox MWR20V6 dvd/vhs combo and also an RCA VR355, I wanted to get a movie off Ebay, but it is ONLY available in PAL format.

Answer
You don't say what country you are in. If you are in the United States, then your VCR will most likely NOT play a video in PAL format. PAL format is used in areas such as South America, Asia, and Australia. The format is not compatible with US television. In the US we use the NTSC standard (and now ATSC for hi-def).

Transferring video from VHS to computer, is it possible?

Anonymous

I have a DVD/VHS combo player. It has an HDMI output, and my computer has an HDMI port. So, can I hook them up and use some kind of software to record what's on my VHS tapes to my computer? The VHS tapes are home made, not copyrighted stuff, if that matters.

I know I can transfer to DVD in the same unit but I can't seem to finalize my discs, and I just want it on my computer anyways.

Answer
Yes let me find the link quick on YouTube.

How can I copy my VHS tapes to DVD?

best dvd vhs player combo image

vickit447

Ok I have a bunch of old movies I purchased in VHS format. I would like to copy them to DVD. Can I do that with a DVD recorder / VHS player combo, or should I buy separate units?

I think it's unfair that I'd have to buy these movies again, provided I can even find them on DVD.

Thanks.
Ok what if I run my cable through my vcr and the dvd recorder to th tv with the S-video jack?

I really don't want to get into using my computer.

Answer
I believe copying store-bought Macrovision protected VHS tapes will not be possible without a Macrovision removing device between the VCR and DVD recorder. This would rule out a combo unit for your purposes. I know I needed one of these devices just to copy a protected VHS to VHS with the later VCRs that came out. Also needed one to dub protected VHS to the ATI capture card on my computer for creating DVDs. I know a DVD player / VCR combo unit will not allow you to copy protected DVDs to VHS. I assume the reverse would be true as well. http://www.xdimax.com/dvd/dvdredpro.html This is the one I bought years ago, it still works and it's still "blinking away" between my 2 VCRs... Though I don't do much VHS to VHS or VHS to DVD dubbing these days...

The quality you end up with will not be great. Not worthy of the newest TVs coming out. Always some loss recording from an analog source... The resolution of VHS is not great to begin with... Not really worth the trouble...

What I've done is join Blockbuster Online where your rent 3 movies at a time through the mail for $17.99 a month flat rate. You can get 20 movies a month easily if you send them back quickly. Rent the movies you own on VHS and copy the DVDs on the computer. Much quicker and easier than dubbing VHS real-time to a DVD recorder. MUCH better results. Dolby Digital sound. Often no compression needed if only transferring the main movie files (no menus, ads, etc...). The resulting DVD-R will look far better than VHS even if compressed to 50%.

Here's more info on how to do it... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiCh6IzYD0A3ViXGoU5LQorsy6IX?qid=20060815032854AAGRez8

How to get sound out of my home theater receiver when plugged into a dvd/vhs combo

Mikey Like

I just bought a home theater receiver and a vhs/dvd player combo. I have everything hooked up. When I put in a dvd it plays on the t.v. and I have sound out coming out of the speakers, but when I play a vhs I don't. The movie plays on the t.v. but I don't have sound coming from the speakers. Can you tell me what I need to do?

Answer
Are you using the optical or coax connector for SPDIF digital audio? That will not work for VHS. You'll have to connect to analog outputs.
