You can record on either dvd or vcr from the tv. You can also copy your vhs tapes to dvd. In my experience this machine often malfunctions and I would strongly advise against buying it. Good luck.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

Yes it does need an external tuner but it plays very well and so far I am pleased with it. I use my other VCR/DVD combo with an internal tuner when I want to record a show.

i will try to help, but it is going to be hard for me to explain it all. first off mine works fine , but i have it hooked up to one vhs/dvd combo.an one vhs/ dvd recorder. this is hooked up to about 11 or 12 rca cables an it plays thru the tv, but you have to have this unit pluged in between two vcrs .. i know it is confushing, but you have to figure out the instructions, this might take a while. it took two us to figure this out, but it works fine , great picture an everything. i sure hope this helps. phil

Really simple mind HERE....so is there a DVD in it that you can take out and review daily and reinstall? I need a new system...using old tv with vcr..so I can rewind and watch the next day for camera in the back.... could someone kinds give me the simple way this works? Also can you hook to your TV and watch real time?

I have a Toshiba that believe it or not, is a VCR/DVD player and recorder that works really good. I also have a Technics that is good quality also

This system does not record, it merely sends audio and video remotely to its receiver. You can connect the receiver to a TV or a DVR/VCR type device. There are a few micro SD card DVRs that you can purchase to connect to it, but stand alone this does not have a record function.

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?

>>One thing I've found is that you need a >>"Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit.No you don't. I was able to dub commercially-released video tapes to DVD using this unit and no other hardware.

No DVD. Just connect the speakers to your receiver and you will be ready to go.

You have to go to setup and either turn on auto finalize or go to setup after you record and go to DVD record and select finalize. The unit has worked very well for me. Ron

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 :)

Hi : I recived no answers to this post from November, however, I did a quick survey of the "Compatible with list". I want to stick with Win XP, so there are not many choices, and the ones I surveyed all looked, well, less easy than my trusty VCR.However, I am ready to look again and share info.Regards

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.
