This unit only copies home made VHS tapes onto a DVD, the one I had before would copy any VHS onto a DVD . What a bummere!!!!

Yes, it does both and, so far, has done very well and I've been pleased with the purchase. It is also supposed to be able to record from a VHS to a DVD and comes with the instructions how. But I haven't had the courage to try that yet.

It does that and will also dub from VHS to DVD and from DVD to VHS although the only method I have used is the VHS to DVD. The only thing is you have to connect it up to a tuner or cable box via component video to record off of the air or cable.

No. Buy a DVD/VHS combo recorder. It will only play VHS but will record DVD and transfer to DVD, not expensive. What you are looking at converts movie film and I don't know how It works. I sent mine back because it requires you to have a movie projector or a digital movie camera.

Not only does it play VCR tapes but it up-converts them and, different than most combo boxes, all through a single HDMI cable so no changing inputs to watch DVDs and VCR tapes. It also can copy them to DVD if you prefer moving them to that more permanent media for posterity. Hope that helps!

Yes it is it will record both ways but there is a problem, it will not copy most commercial dvds and vhs tapes for many have macrovision in them which blocks copying. This was done to prevent piracy, people making copies and selling them. It is legal to make a backup copy of a commercial disc or tape you bought to protect your investment but you cannot sell or give away the copy, it must remain in your possession.

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

Yes, it is able to dub from VHS to DVD and from DVD to VHS. Great for preserving personal videos. (If the original is copy-protected, the device will detect this, stop recording, and give you an error message.)

It plays and records VHS tapes and connects to other devices. I don't know whether it does Beta tapes.

Yes, the VHS tape goes into the left side and the DVD blank in the right. whatever input you use will be recorded on the DVD. It's a decent machine. There is a process called finalizing which allows the copied material on the DVD to play on another DVD player. Before finalizing, you can add several titles to the same DVD, which I've done for a friend who had a bunch of short vacation tapes from years ago. Also, a title can be deleted, again, before finalizing. Once finalized, nothing can be change. It's "sealed."

This was purchased by me for my mom so she was the primary user. I was under the impression that you could record VHS over to a DVD. From the product description directly:*One-touch/programmable recording and playback of DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW formats and VHS cassette; dubbing from DVD to tape and vice versa. So, you can do both. Tape to DVD and DVD to tape.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

No I don't believe that you can do that with this. I think you can record VHS but it does not burn discs. Just a blueray/dvd player. If you want to burn VHS to disc I suggest you check with Walmart. I was in their store; they had a VHS to DVD recorder/player for under $200. I have not found many machines besided this Panasonic that play all 3 formats VHS/DVD/Blueray disc. I have also had compatability issues with some dvd's (real dvd's not bootlegs}.

The unit has timer recording functions for both the DVD and VHS tape portions. You can program the unit to record up to 12 different programs within a month in advance. Daily or weekly program recordings are also available.
