Can I connect a new DVD player, old VCR to old TV with the switcher

As long as your TV has an RCA type input, yes.I have a DVD and a DirecTV DVR hooked to mine. I am going to try to post a photo of the rear of the unit.

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.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that is... Wait...just checked the manual and it shows how to connect to a HDMI cable (optional) "Use HDMI cable to connect the unit with other devices to receive high definition multimedia signal" So yes, can connect to a DVD/VCR. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can. The connection would be made with RCA cables. However, bear in mind that the quality of the output of a VCR is 240 lines of resolution at best (bare minimum on flatscreen televisions is 480). So if you are burning old VHS tapes to DVD to watch on a flatscreen television, you will definitely see the flaws you normally overlooked on older televisions, such as grainy picture, faded colours and so forth. This is a limitation of the VCR, not a reflection of the Hauppauge device. Still, if you have valuable older tapes, it is worth it.

well, I'm not positive, have never had a dvd/vcr switch off due to a loose connection. In fact never heard of this happening due to a loose connection with a RCA cable connection. You might want to check more into your problem. BUT I have bought both 6 and 50 foot cables here and have had NO problems. They are used for DVDs, audio, and karaoke, set ups. Hope this helps.

Yes, you should be able to use an older VCR, with red, white and yellow male RCA output jacks into this device and connect to a modern HDMI TV via a HDMI male-male cable.

There are all kinds of converters on NewEgg like this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156023 It allows you to capture analog signals (like your VCR) onto your computer. Here is a link to an Amazon search for VCR to DVD recorder

If your vcr has rca outputs (red white and yellow) you can use this adapter. If it just has an antenna cable output you need something else

I don't know. It won't work with my old vcr. So, I returned it. It might work if your combo player is new enough. Good Luck.

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.

I would suggest getting a new TV if your budget permits. Newer models have all the inputs you need to hook up DVD player/recorder. Otherwise you need an RF converter to convert the audio-video outputs to a single coax cable which will work with any TV.

If your challenge is that your newer TV only has HDMI inputs then you could still use this box but would need an HDMI to RCA cable to connect it to the TV (this switch box only has rca inputs/outputs). But then you should be fine.

You should be able to. I only had this for a short time. See the review below. I bought this used DVD/VCR on line through Amazon. When I received it and tried it out, I found that when I played a VCR tape back the picture bounced around and sometimes the horizontal went out of sync. I returned the DVD/VCR for a prompt full refund. I only had this device for a short time. See a copy of my review below.

It depends on your tv. One that old will not have an hdmi port, however the DVD player will. Though it will have the av cables too. So no, you don't need one.

I am sure you can use the Radio Shack A/ B switch to go from dvd player to tv or tv to dvd player, however my radio shack A/B switch did not work out of the box.

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.

If you already have all the wiring for the existing DVD player, then you should just be able to connect the existing wires to the appropriate ports on this player and be good to go.
