Can the recording from the cassette tape be converted on to a DVD?

yes it can, but it has to be downloaded to a computer. I believe it's all explained in the digital manual.

Yes, you can record to either a DVD disc or to the built in hard drive. I have been recording to the hard drive exclusively since I don't want permanent copies. I just erase the shows after I watch them. I recommend using the HQ option when recording for best quality. If you do decide to make a permanent copy you can dub to a DVD from the hard drive. You can go to the Magnavox web site and download the free users manual. That will answer all your questions.

It has been a loooong while since I used that DVD/VCR (mine broke down and was thrown out years ago), but if I remember correctly it could NOT record DVDs. I think there was a button that could copy the content of the DVD to a VCR tape, but only if the DVD wasn't copy-protected, which most are.

If you can hook up your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder, you should be able to convert your mini dv tapes. You need RCA output from your source to RCA input onto the DVD recorder.

I know this response is almost a year old but if anyone sees this can you tell me how I go about copying a personal VHS tape to a DVD. Thanks, billh347@gmail.com

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

you probably need software to convert vhs to dvd files in order to burn them on to discs

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 believe you can record onto a cassette FROM a CD, but not the other way around.

Yes, the model I have allows cassette recordings. That was the reason I purchased the unit.

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.

We have only recorded from VHS to DVD. When you are recording you can watch the VHS. I don't know why you couldn't just watch VHS or DVDs. Not sure about CDs.

It doesn't have a direct cassette to CD recording option. However you can play them back on it and record to a PC, digital recorder, or an external CD recorder using the analog audio jacks. I record directly to a Sony PCM-10 digital recorder mainly into MP3 format. If I do need a CD, then I record to PC and burn from there. Some like the all in one, but often they don't have the best audio quality or converters in them.

I copied all of my VHS tapes to DVD with no problem. I purchased the original VHS cassettes, so legally I would think there is no issue with making a copy for private use.

I am sure you can. Just take the output RCA's (red+white) and put them into you disc recorder's input. I have been transferring all my cassettes to my stand alone CD disc recorder. I also have been transferring most of my cassettes to my stand alone DVD-R recorder... because my cassettes are 90m, 100m and 110m long and of course all you can put on a CD is 80m. So I can put 3 cassettes (split them up with indexes on the DVD) on each DVD-R. The only problem is you can't play them in a CD player, but they can play in all DVD players and most computers, and if it is something you really want on a CD you can make CD's as well.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

No, this is not a DVD recorder. This unit can only play back DVD. Only the VHS part of this device can record
