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

I don't know if it will work on a digital TV. You can record from TV to the VCR.

It works on a digital t.v. look for hook up jacks on your t.v. or cable box

Sony made a DV mini tape player/recorder. Model #Sony DSR-25 DVCAM MiniDV Compact Desktop Player/Recorder-Firewire-NTSC/PAL. It has analog video and sound AND DV (Digital video and sound) outputs; that you can connect to VCR's or similar devices.They are often on eBay; but they usually go for under $200.00. There are also Sony DV camcorders; but they usually sell for more than the player/recorders above.If you do not wish to record any more, then I would strongly suggest you check out the Sony DSR-25. patdee

You need to hook it up to an external tuner, like a cable box or dish. In addition to playing and recording on VHS tapes, it also functions as a DVR, so you always have to hook it up to other stuff. If you are looking for just a VCR player/recorder, go for one that has a built in tuner. If you are looking for just a VCR player that you can hook up to your TV,look for just a VCR palyer.

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

Hi, this Sony Compact Disc Player/Recorder, doesn't support recordings from a digital recorder. -Ely

You gotta have a tuner. Whether it's a cable box, a DVR, or a Digital-to analog converter like those available for old analog tv's doesn't matter. It just has to have a tuner and A/V outputs that your recorder can accept.

Yes, you can record on a VCR with it. Just connect the coax cable from the digital converter box to the back of your VCR, then connect a coax cable from the VCR to your TV. It works just like if you had cable hooked up to your VCR.

I don't think any VCR has digital tuner. Like an old TV, VCR has analog tuner. Now in the US, over-the-air TV signal is digital only. So, you will need a converter box to convert digital signal to analog. You can connect this antenna to the convert before connecting to VCR.

I am looking into this product, also. Do I need a tuner? I have Directv with goes directly into tv. If I want to watch on dvd on my current player, I have to hit source on the tv. Would I be able to record tv this way? Nothing has explained if a tuner only works with cable and not directv.

In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF). If your tv does not have this type of input, you may still be able to connect it through an older VCR. If you don't have a VCR, your local thrift shop is sure to have one, but get it quick before they're all gone :) Make sure that the VCR has composite outputs that are compatible with your new digital television. If you TV only has HDMI, you should have got a different tv. You can also get an RF to composite adapter box, but these are quite pricy ($150)

Thanks for the info. I bought the camcorder because the person for whom I bought it sent me a DVD produced on their equipment, and I was able to view it on both my computer and television. Does NTSC/PAL apply also to digital? I don't quite get all this.....

ok, question that will reveal how little i know about this. you mentioned recording to DVD. Can a DVD recorder record over the air broadcasts? can you set it to record at certain times, the way you would a VCR? And can you re-record over the dvds or do you have to keep buying them? (the advantage of vhs.)thanks!

Dear B. Cameron There are at least two reasons why you might want a DVD recorder with a built in tuner. 1. In my case, I don't have a TV with a digital (ATSC) tuner. I have a 2003 HD television with an analog (NTSC) tuner, and I receive my TV signal over-the-air via an outdoor antenna. When the digital transition occurred earlier this year, I had a limited number of choices if I wanted to keep my current TV and free OTA set-up: I could buy a converter box and have the digital signal converted to analog for my TV; I could buy an external digital tuner; or I could buy a DVD player with a built in digital tuner and get the best possible picture with a DVD player/recorder thrown in to boot. I chose the last option and bought the Toshiba DR560. My set-up has some drawbacks... like, if the DVD player breaks I get no TV signal while it's in the shop, and I can't record one program and watch another at the same time; but over all I'm happy with it because it is just what I need and no more. If you have a similar set-up and have questions of a more specific nature, I'd be glad to respond. 2. The QAM tuner should allow you to receive and record unscrambled digital cable channels directly, without renting a set-top box. Cable providers don't advertise this, and some may even insist that it isn't true; but they are required by the FCC to provide rebroadcasts of locally broadcast programs in analog, or in unencrypted HD digital format, so that customers are not forced to rent their digital-to-analog set top boxes. You will only receive unscrambled signals of locally broadcast programs in this way, and these may vary from locale to locale. I do not have any personal experience with this set-up, but if you are interested, there is a more in depth description at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAM_tuner. There may be other advantages to having a tuner included in the DVD recorder/player, but I wouldn't know `cause I'm not that well versed in the technology. Hope this was helpful.
