Does the Sony SLV-N50 Stereo VCR - SLVN50 work on a digital T.V. or must the T.V. be an analog? Can I record from the TV to this VCR?

Plays great on a digital TV. Have not recorded but I assume since it plays fine it would record as well. Hope that helps...... Stan Warner

No, this will not work with analog video(VHS) out. Only rca audio, digital audio and component video. I am sorry if my previous misled anyone.

Hello, I hauled out the cassette adapter and read the box and instructions. This device is only meant to adapt a VHS-C tape to a regular VHS player. It will not work with a Betamax tape. The Sony video format is different from VHS. I am told that the only way to view a Betamax tape would be to buy an old Betamax player or take the tapes to a professional video editing firm and get them to transfer them to a different media such as a DVD or a VHS format tape. Hope this helps!! Scott

I have not recorded. I hooked up my unit to a separate port. To record, you would need to hook your incoming cable to the VCR. Then hook the VCR to your T.V. The signal would have to feed through the VCR in order to record. I have been told that this can lessen your signal reception, but do not know if this is true. Good luck.

I was curious about this too. With old VCR units in the past, you could set the VCR to a public station like channel 3 and have it record from the TV tuner itself.Perhaps one could use a cable box output via coax to this unit and set the unit tuner to channel 3 or similar. This would however remove any automatic facets unless you set your EyeTV software to record channel 3, and make sure the cable box was set to the correct channel ahead of time.Anyone know if this would hold true?

The Magnavox MWD2206 is a DVD player but a VCR, that is, a VHS recorder. It will record on tape but not record on a DVD, it only plays DVD. Also remember this unit does not have a digital tuner so no recording free TV from your antenna. No one makes these DVD/VCR combos anymore so you have to buy either used or refurbished. Either way you have to get lucky to get one that works without any problems. I have had my best luck with the TOSHIBA units. The TOSHIBA DVR660 or DVR670 both record on DVD and have digital tuners to record free TV off your antenna.

I've owned the 660 for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. It will record digital tv channels to either the DVD or the VCR. If you record to the vcr, it records in standard definition. The unit will also up convert anything recorded on the dvd to up to 1080p. To watch another show at the same time, you can split the incoming single and send one to the dvd/vcr and one to the tv. The manual is a little intimidating, but the channel programming and recorder programming, I found to be very intuitive.

Hi Kenneth, VHS tapes should play back okay using the Sony SLVN750 player. -Vincent

Hi David,You will use the A/V connecting cable for this camcorder to be connected to your VCR. Thanks. >Joffrey

Probably no, but I haven't tried. I say that because is only has coax input ans it is a digital only tuner. I suspect that your VCR puts out an analog signal. Look for a hybrid card, or one with RCA inputs.

The DVDO does work with "standard" VCR as in VHS or Betamax with not special equipment needed as you claim. Perhaps you have a bad unit. All one has to do is connect the output of the VCR to the input of the DVDO and THAT's IT! The DVDO does everything else. And if you've got a TBC, then you don't sound like someone who needs the DVDO for VHS playback. How can one have a TBC and NOT understand the DVDO?

Make sure the sony works first by playing it back and looking at it using lcd... You will need the software to play it back on computer and the usb cord... Some of the newer T.V. come with a usb port to pug it into and play it on T.V. Or you can play it back with the uv cables... Uv cable are yellow and white or yellow, white and red... Those cable should have come with the camera.

Best guess is they will work.. My old sony cams used to tranfer tape to digital use RCA plugged into BNC fittings which twist onto the little processor box. I also checked one of my security cams and the fittings going into the DVR are identical. Also googled and found most cams are analog but when you plug them into you DVR they become digital. As for security cams... you are looking for the most LINES OF RESOLUTION for the money. One thousand and eighty lines is HD, If I recall old analog TV was possibly 4/500 lines of resolution. I ended up with SONY 1000 lines(very sweet) but not cheap, Thank the lord for E-Bay Hope that helps Best guess is they will work..

My VCR is also still working, but I fear any day it will "konk out" and I'll be lost. I also use a portable DVD player which is OK, but it would be nice to have an "all in one" which would be relatively easy to install and would still enable me to record shows directly from the TV without a hassle. I only have the very basic cable system (no separate box or satellite).

I have my JVC vcr connected to my Sony. The picture isn't great, but then again it wasn't great on my Toshiba which the Sony replaced. I plan on swapping a Panansonic DVD/VCR recorder player for the JVC and using it's hdmi out port with the Sony. The Panasonic can output via hdmi from the vcr player and I assume that is about as good as a vcr can get.

Wendy, I asked my hubby as I had bought for him. He said I should tell you when we had a problem putting VHS on DVD as it was suppose to do, he could not find anyone to look at it let alone fix it. That said, he also says no, it doesn't record without and external digit tuner. He really is NOT happy with the entire unit and Toshiba. He still gets upset thinking I wasted my money on it and it was the one he wanted.
