Can I connect a vcr/dvd combo to this tv? I have the tri color cables....

yes we did. We have to go to input, top corner of the tv remote and change from HDMi mode to comp/av mode to use the dvd player. Then back again for tv. Only complication is having a tv remote, a cable remote and a dvd remote. Our cable guy was nice enough to mesh them all for us, but we still like using the separate ones for different features. :)

I don't know what kind of outputs this TV has but I doubt it has any Video outputs. So you would have to run a HDMI cable from your box to the DVD player and then from the player to the TV to record anything.

Yes, this takes composite or RCA (yellow for video, and red and white for audio). The yellow is shared with the green input for the component input. The red and white just go in the audio input.

The Vizio has those connections plus the HDMI. You would have to hook up 5 cables the 3 tri-color for video and the white and red cable for the audio. Should work fine. Don't forget you have to go to input on remote to change input for your vcr/dvd.

We connected a DVD to the TV with no problems. We don't have a DVD/VCR combo, but I'm certain you could hook one up, with the proper cables.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

I am unsure about this, because I have never tried to connect the TV with the VCR. If you have a friend who knows something about the connections in the back of TV and computers, they may be able to help answer the question.

There's a SINGLE video/audio input area, to which you can connect a VCR, etc. -- would that work with your camera? By single, I not only mean only one device can go in it, but also that the cord is odd -- one end is a single black plug (which goes into the TV) and the other end has the usual 3 plugs (red, white, yellow) which goes to the other device.

Oh Gee...I am not a technology literate person. I know that all the cables hooked up just as they did on the old DVD party. If you need other connections, then no, there are no other hookups. Sorry I'm not more up on this stuff. Like I said before - it's really easy/simple! :)

If you are using a VCR and have only the yellow RCA plug for video, red and white for audio; this box probably won't help. The red, blue and green connections are for the component video only and the box has an audio 'jack' for the audio separately. You would need an RCA Female to 3.5mm Stereo plug adapter to connect the audio. For the yellow RCA video plug, you could insert in the Green jack and not use the Red and Blue. Keep in mind, my experience with this box gave me a jittery picture and the audio was muffled.

I know it is late but here is the answer. The best way is to use red, yellow, white RCA cables Your VCR probaly came with them. The yellow fits into the green receptacle at back of set. This set up is called composite. Dont forget to change input on remote. If these connections are already being used, you can hook up your VCR using "antennae out" on VCR to "antennae in" at back of set. These are the screw in connections using standard TV cable. Again change input setting on remote(Picture of antennae). Picture very nice using either method. These are great sets for the money. Over the last 15 years, and perhaps 25 different sets, I still prefer the plasnas.

When you say "cable connection," do you mean coaxial cable only? If that's the only input your TV has, you won't be able to use this. I think the extra expense of this player's upscaling ability would be lost on your tv. You could get a less expensive DVD player with similar results.

The cable connection honestly doesnt matter you can connect any type of computer to any type of television. Yes you can connect them but it will not possibly give you the high definition sound quality or resoultion that you need. I purchased it to connect my blu ray to my compuyer but I failed :)) so yes Is your answer you can connect it but dont excpect to habe good quality.

It can use Coax cable in and out like the older style VCR's. Not sure if it has RCA connectors. I am using a universal remote for it in my case no remote was provided.

I'm not sure what you need. I just took the cables supplied and connected it up to my old Toshiba tv via a Radio Shack switch box. The box connects a vcr, a laser disc player and my dvd player.

Hi Dominic, There is no cable included with the VCR for that, but you should not need one from box to VCR. The cable box should come with a standard coax cable to connect it to the TV. Unscrew that from the TV and plug it into the VCR input port, then run another coax cable from the VCR to the TV. If you find yourself without a spare coax cable, they are very cheap. You can get the screw-on kind or the press-on type if your fingers lack dexterity the way mine do. A cable 2-3 feet long should do it, but just be sure it is a coax, not an RCA. Rodger

Hello Kate, It sounds like you have a series of red, white, and yellow ports on the DVD player: red= left audio white= right audio yellow= video The 5 ports on your TV are red, green, blue, red, white: Red= red video Blue= blue video Green= green video Red= left audio White= right audio You would need to connect your DVD to a series of Red, White, and Yellow ports on the TV. Most TVs have both the 5 ports area and the 3 ports area to input a cable. You can use this Mediabridge 5 connector cable for that. Just use the Green cable to go into the Yellow port on both the TV and the DVD player. In this setup your Red and Blue video cables on the Mediabridge cable will not be connected to anything. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

There is an adaptor available here on Amazon that works great. Here is the name of it: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD. I have one and all you need is your HDMI cable and some RCA cable and you are ready to go.

You might try it. I don't think that is what it was made for, but it does a good job from an older VCR to the new TV. Good luck.

The television is simply a visual output device. The DVD recorder and the VCR can care less if a tv is hooked up. I've done many a VCR to DVD transfer. Once I made sure I had everything set right I hit play on the VCR and record on the DVD. Then I turned my tv off and went about my daily routine :)

You can certainly split from the PC to the HDMI TV, but I'm not sure about the VCR. I suspect that's pretty old equipment and may not have the right connections on the back.
