Willl this play vhs tapes?

It is supposed to play VHS tapes, but it didn't for me. This may have been because I was trying to hook it up to an HD smart TV. It might have worked with an older television. I don't know. I ended up returning it because of the VHS problem, even though I thought it was a great machine in every other way.

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 looked up the model that you referenced and could not find the specs on it. But, as long as it's a vhs-c recorder this item will work for playback in a normal vhs player.

Yes. It will play ripped ISO files and VOB files (in a folder), including DVD menu and all features.

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

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.

No, it copies CDs and DVDs, not VHS tapes. The discs play back very well, though.

YES. It plays "normal" DVDs like other players. As recordings go, it has served me well in converting zillions of very old BUT UNIQUE VHS video tapes into DVDs. Although the ideal player of the future will play AND record Blu Ray AND "normal" DVD format as well as MP4 video files, right now I've little in Blu Ray fomat. Seldom have I had such DEPENDABLE RELIABLE performance from any electonic gadget. It runs and runs and runs and runs without any hassle. CHEERS,Gerhardt J.

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.

No, unfortunately it does not. Quite often, leaps in technology leave a lot to be desired. Lots of good VHS players sitting on shelves collecting dust because many of the TV's don't have enough inputs; or the inputs require a MIDI cable.

Depends on what you want to do and what kind of inputs your TV has. If you want it to play VHS and DVD on your TV, it has HDMI, S-Video, and composite video outputs. If your TV can accept one of these, then that works. It does not have an RF receiver. So, If you want to record incomming television, it won't work. If you want to copy VHS to DVD (the reason I bought it), then all you need a monitor (your TV or computer monitor (HDMI can be cheaply converted to a monitor's DVI)) so you can read and operate it's menues.

It should but ours wouldn't play anything at all and had to be returned. I would not purchase this.

Hi Kenneth, VHS tapes should play back okay using the Sony SLVN750 player. -Vincent

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.

Yep, I'm gonna second Paul here. It doesn't matter what format the tape is (beta, VHSC, etc.), as long as you have the AV out it will work just fine. This is by far the best device I've found. It cost more than some, because in this case, you actually do get what you pay for.

It has yrw inputs... Don't have vhs... Love the TV... You will need a speaker bar as most of these tvs are lacking with volume...

I had the same problem. NO this camera will only play digital recordings. I wound up buying an old camera to play my analog tapes and used it to transfer my analog tapes to DVD's. cheaper in the long run.
