Can you play old vhs tapes directly to a modern TV?

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.
1742155
Yes, you can....you can even copy them to a dvd, if they are not rights protected.

You are supposed to be able to play tapes, however I never had one that worked well enough to do anything. The seller who worked through Amazon, sent me a defective unit first couldn"t get a picture. I sent it back at my expense and they sent an obviously used one, it was wrapped in bubble wrap instead of the styrofoam, that had no sound and refused to take it back, So I never had a unit that worked so I can't answere your question other than I wish I had purchased my unit from Wallmart rather than Amazon. Right now I have a useless piece of electronics in my garage that I spent about $155.00 including shipping twice for, gathering dust.

yes you can use rca video and audio cables for old tvs and it does have a hdmi out put but you can only record is SD mode not Hi Def. However beware most things on tv are scramble now so recording with dvd doesn't work with many channels Vhs will record anything but this is not the best recorder or player I am very dissatisfied with it.

Absolutely. You can play either vhs tapes or dvd's. You can also copy vhs to dvd and dvd to vhs. Most important, you can copy MOST of your commercial vhs tapes to dvd. Bear in mind, these tapes are breaking down. You want to copy them as soon as you can. I was able to copy all of mine except for Miramax and Disney. There were a few other brands here and there, but most of mine copied.

In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF). If your tv does not have this type of input, you may still be able to connect it through an older VCR. If you don't have a VCR, your local thrift shop is sure to have one, but get it quick before they're all gone :) Make sure that the VCR has composite outputs that are compatible with your new digital television. If you TV only has HDMI, you should have got a different tv. You can also get an RF to composite adapter box, but these are quite pricy ($150) In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF).

Yes, but only if the tv is of a certain type. You can not connect the computer to a tv that is too old. The older sets are not set up to handle the signal translation.

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

You could run the red yellow and white from roku to an RF Modulator, then coaxial out from the RF modulator to a really old tv. Amazon sells the RF modulators.

Yes. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery. I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD. That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.
2128571
No, I've found the best way to do that is to buy a VHS to DVD recorder. Once you transfer the VHS to DVD, you can rip it to your computer then edit it in this program.
2157413
Yes. I used a HDMI cable only to connect. Of course that does not mean old tapes or DVDs are HD but they are the same.
104142
Yes you can connect your old VCR to the TX-515 receiver using your current RCA cables
1512608
You can connect anything with an HDMI output and hook up to your older television as long as it has "component video input."
726994
Yes i connect it to my older tv via the RCA cable provided. If your TV is really old you can plug the device thru your DVD player or VCR.

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

I have some old VHS tapes from Europe (PAL system) which I want to convert to DVD. Would this software work for such a purpose.
1176252
yes, you can do it. you put your vcr tape in, you put your dvd in, go to the input button on your toshiba remote, and scan up or down, choose your tape dub, or whatever yours may say, then hit record. you don't even need the tv hooked up, unless you want to watch the movie while it records (that's recommended)... good luck... also look in your instruction manual. it's tells you even better.... it shows you the hookups in diagrams. gary.....
