Having contacted Toshiba and purchased the item, I can answer my own question. It will play back VHS tapes at all three speeds: SP, EP, and LP. Tracking is automatic and there does not appear to be a way to adjust it manually.

Thanks. I was going to try to contact them myself before buying this combo. If it didn't play back in EP speed, then I would have no use for it.

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.

I am looking to buy a dvd recorder that will record from vhs. I have sooo many videos of family that I want to transfer to dvd in order to preserve them. This tuner vs tunerless thing is confusing me. Can someone explain it to me? I do not have cable tv and do not want it.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

Not unless you have a separate VCR. This is just a DVD recorder. I recorded all my old VCR tapes with it, from a VCR, and it works great.

No your camera hast to at least playback. This unit does not accept cassettes. Also please disregard some of the negative comments on here. I see several people stating that transferring analog to this unit that the picture is not so good. However, they most likely failed to put the burner into the highest quality setting to fit more on the DVD. I have used 2 different brands of VCR's, A Samsung, mini DV camcorder hooked up via firewire, a Sony CX110 HD camcorder hooked up via USB and several SD memory cards taken with a Kodak camera and have had no trouble with any transfers as of yet.

Yes. This is a much older model. The last Samsung DVD/VCR combos manufactured were all tunerless.

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

It is an adaptor so the mini dv tape can play on the dvc player. It is not a machine for playback just an adapter

That would depend on your setup with the dvr. Ours works fine. Our dvr will not record protected tapes, even if recorded off of tv and just transferring for your personal use from Vhs to Dvds. So we generally just wait until it comes on Tv again or check for used movies on amazon or cheap movie bends in the stores.

No it doesn't. That's why its so cheap. I used my old VCR as a tuner to record tv shows to DVDs, I don't have a DVR so I can't say. If you have a cable box it should work, a cable box/satellite box is a tuner.

Will this play a Mini Digital Video Cassette from my Digital Camera on my VHS and can I convert them to DVD in the same unit?

Yes you can make sure you set it for the proper voltage rating.But I would check on the other person's answer as far as the different formatof the VHS Player. Power delivered it will work.

DVD recorders can record off the air programs only if they have a "tuner". The Toshiba DVR670 does have one, but the Toshiba DVR620, for example, does not. A recorder with a tuner can be programmed just like VCR's. DVD discs come in several "flavors" the most common being DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW. All of these are compatible with most recorders, the +RW and -RW ones can be "erased" and rewritten, while the +R and -R cannot.

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

No this is not a tape converter. This is so you can play a small vhs reel in a regular size vhs vcr. Hope this helps.

Yes and yes as long as you can play the tape on your player (VCR, camcorder, DVD player, Tivo, and so on). It's not media or cassette type that is important. As this product comes with a digitizer, you can capture almost everything that has video output via RCA (yellow, red, & white) or S-video. Some camcorders only have RCA with yellow (video) and white (sound), which should work as well. I tried capturing PS3 game playing as video on this product, and it worked wonderfully.
