Yes, all Hi8 cameras are also compatible with regular 8mm, it's part of the specification.

Sorry, but the cctrv128 I bought did not work. I returned it. No experience to share. Jim

It plays old cassette tapes that are 10 to 30 years old. But not the 8 track tapes that look like a video tape. You can still buy new tapes for recording which is primarily why people buy this recorder. It is the cheapest way to record conversations or speeches. I use it for old books on tape which are still available at Half Price Books for a couple bucks.

It's all about the output of your device, if you have HDMI, or through the included dongle cable, Component, S-Video and Composite Video input interface. Most 8mm video cameras have at least, composite out. If it has any of those, then yes, it will record 8mm. Hope that helps!

Sorry, but I don't know what that is but if it records or plays 8mm video cassetts like Sony MP120 it should clean your play/record heads if they are dirty. Worked on my Hitachii cam corder in like 10 seconds.

plays standard hi-8 and 8 mm cassettes. look at the 8mm tapes they sell at any best buy, rite-aid, target, cvs and if the ones you have look like those than theywill play.

I you have something to play the hi8 tapes with then yes, if not then no. The DMR is just a DVD recorder that takes component input, it has no built-in devices for other media.

I haven't used it a lot, because I bought it to do some archiving. But it did play Hi8 fine for the short time I've used it with no problem. I didn't know there was anything else but Hi8 analog. That was what was sold years ago, and that's what I've worked with.

Maggie, the adapter can only be used for vhs-c tapes not for 8mm cassettes, hope this helps, Sock

As far as I know the thinner is the Hi 8mn (looks like the old small audio casset) and has no adapter in the market and the thicker is the VHS-C and has the adapter (smaller inside the bigger one), so this camcorder plays with the thinner 8mm.

no,it does not fit any 8mm tapes.in matter of fact,there is no cassette adapter that fits 8mm tapes.

To the best of my knowledge no..bought my camera back in 07 and since 3 times upgraded and if memory serves me right when I tried to play back other tapes from a Sony and Panasonic camcorder did not work..way want to wait and see if anyone else had luck in doing so but am 90% sure it is a no go...
