Can I connect both a Blue-Ray and a DVD/VHS Combo Player to my Sony Flat Screen TV?

If it's a newer flat screen it should have sufficient ports to support both units. I don't have a blue ray so no first hand knowledge. With your model number in hand a call to Sony support (phone # on the web) should give you an absolute yes or no.

Yes, as long as you have enough input spigots on your TV monitor. We are using an HDMI cable for the Blue Ray player and a three-wire audio/video cable with RCA plugs for the Combo player (our TV monitor has 3 input lines for 3 RCA plugs, each). If your monitor does not have a sufficient number of input lines you can use one cable and connect it to the player you want to use at a given time, a little cumbersome but workable.

Yes, but your Blue-Ray requires a separate HDMI cable and a separate Input for that cable on your TV. Once this is done, simply use your TV's remote to select this Input and you should be ready to go.

My apologies, I'm slightly revising my previous answer. This unit supports 480i to 1080i, so it MIGHT be possible to use it for a composite (r,w,y) cable from your VHS player. The yellow would be plugged into the green port.The description doesn't explicitly say it supports composite, though, so it might be a gamble. I can't claim it will work with any certainty, but apparently the green port is what is commonly used to support the old composite cables.

It connects to anything that has av (red, white, yellow) outputs. This allows you to play a vcr blu ray to your projrctor.

You can't link them but there are three distinct remote codes so you can have up to three of them and control them independently. I have 2 of the older Sony 400 disc mega changers and 1 of the new Blu-ray changers, all in the same room. You could get an excellent and inexpensive HDMI switch at monoprice.com.

Yes you can. The ZV427MG9 DVD functions as a regular DVD/VHS player thru the HDMI in addition to its recording functions.

If you are connecting your TV to your blue ray player using HDMI cable, then that is the best way to go. Otherwise you'll have to use the traditional component stereo cables.

Of course it's compatible. It's the video signal that gets captured, not the disc format. All a blu ray player is is a dvd player with a smaller wavelength laser. This means the disc can hold more information, giving it a higher resolution. As long as you use component video to component video, S-video to S-video or HDMI to HDMI it doesn't matter where the original signal came from. I use this thing with old VHS in order to digitize old home movies. It even works with digital camcorders.

I don't know. It won't work with my old vcr. So, I returned it. It might work if your combo player is new enough. Good Luck.

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 have a sony blu ray player (HDMI) and an older Phillips TV. This converter works using the S Video input on the TV and HDMI on the player. Came with cables too. :)

No. This is designed to convert red/green/blue outputs to HDMI. If you have an older non-HD TV that you want to connect your bluray player to, you can use Portta 100HC Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-ray DVD1080P. If your TV is HD, but only has an available red/green/blue connector, you can convert your HDMI out from your bluray to r/g/b with Portta PETHRSP HDMI to 1080P Component Video (YPbPr) Scaler Converter Supporting R/L Audio Output.

Hi Daniel, Betamax will not work on this Sony VHS player. Works for VHS tapes only. -Ely

I also have the DVD/VCR combo connected to an older TV that is not HD, so I really don't know if it is compatible either. Sorry.

I'm sure you can and I don't see why not, in the case you were only going to connect a gaming system if a blue ray player. I connected my cable and a player. Either way, just go to the input button and switch input options.

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

No I don't believe that you can do that with this. I think you can record VHS but it does not burn discs. Just a blueray/dvd player. If you want to burn VHS to disc I suggest you check with Walmart. I was in their store; they had a VHS to DVD recorder/player for under $200. I have not found many machines besided this Panasonic that play all 3 formats VHS/DVD/Blueray disc. I have also had compatability issues with some dvd's (real dvd's not bootlegs}.

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.
