Thank you kindly for your advice. I'll go to Sears and speak to a salesperson, since I know this combo is sold there. I'm trying to buy 2 VCR's (one for me and the other for my cousin who has over 800 VHS tapes} The VCR will soon be history if it is not already and people like my cousin, do not want to spend more money in upgrading from tapes to discs.Ricardo

This model does NOT allow recording to discs because the DVD player on this model is not a recorder; but, the VCR should record to VHS tapes. I have used off-brand VCR/DVR combinations, although each has stopped working almost immediately (probably because many of the inside parts come from the same few factories). Maybe not what you were hoping to read, but it'll cut down on frustration from trying something this machine cannot do. You will also have problems recording from discs to tapes since "store-bought" discs have copy protection. If you are looking to purchase a disc recorder, be sure to note which types of discs they can use for recording. Some discs can be recorded to several times (like a cassette tape). Others are like vinyl records and may only be recorded to one time. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs determine future playability, too. Talk with a salesperson at an electronics shop (like H. H. Gregg) or the electronics section of a department store (such as Sears). I like discounts, but often a trained salesperson is worth buying from so you don't end up with less (or more) than you'd bargained for--at least until you really understand the differences between models.

This means you need to connect to the cable box to record. We only use it to play DVD/CD. We never use it to record from our TV. We have no problems playing DVD/CD.

No you have to hook up a tv to see. You can hook it up to a DVD if your DVD can record.

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.

Yes, you can record to VHS or DVD. This is not a DVR so there is no internal hard drive to record to. There is only composite and s-video inputs on the machine which have a maximum video resolution of 480i; make sure your video output source corresponds for the best picture.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

Absolutely. I have two DVD Recorders/players hooked up to it to record multiple shows at the same time on different networks using the two HDMI inputs. (The DVD recorders each have digital tuners in them, of course) What is nice is being able to toggle inputs to the TV with the remote. Couldn't be happier with my hook-up.

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 :)

Yes, as long as you have a tuner or cable box. You must have a tuner or cable box with Audio/Video outputs (the white/yellow/red outputs). I use my cable box to record to the unit (VHS or DVD) every day.

If it is like the one I have; it is only a player; I think you can record from the tv to a vhs tape; I am not sure; try it and see what happens; but I have only used mine for a player.

I don't think so, this device suppose to enable connecting new HDMI devices into old composite connection and translate sound and image accordingly. To write record or burn DVDs using a PC would require a software like Nero Toast etc. These softwares prepare media prior to fit a dvd before it does it. I assume you could record onto your PC by this would require a recording or a grabbing software. Unless someone has more enlightened answer that's the best of my knowledge.

Absolutely! Remember though that the real beauty of these machines is that you can record on vhs and then dub to dvd. For example, I regularly record to vhs and then burn to dvd movies and series I want to keep. DVD-R units will let you capture and hold a movie/show/whatever for as long as you like, but you cannot transfer that recording to a permanent source. On these units, you can record and then burn to the more stable medium, dvd. However, you can record to vhs and then play it. Remember, anything you do on tape is in real-time, so you can watch it as well as burn it to dvd.

Greetings, yes you can record from cable make sure you loop the cables to record into the DVD recorder. Make sure you get a really good brand of DVD+RW best to go to an office supply store.

No, there is not a Tivo device that can record to DVDs. You can transfer shows to another Tivo, or to your computer with the free Tivo desktop application. If you have a separate DVD-R device, then it is possible to input your Tivo into that and record to DVDs. Tivo devices do not have disk drives of any kind.

I think you mean dvd- or dvd+ discs. Yes it will record on both. With the DVD+ you can erase and record over if you want.

Yes, you can connect this Sony HDRPJ810/B to a dvd recorder to record DVDs. However, you may needed an AV cable (one end is a Multi/Micro USB Terminal and on the other end has an RCA terminals). This cable are not included in the package and are sold separately. Hope this helps. -Ely

Well you don't "record over" on a dvd recorder (it's not like video tape). You can press the "top menu" button on the remote. Then you delete an existing recording to make more room for new recordings.
