How many and what type of cables are required for this device. I am trying to upconvert the image from my old dvd/vcr combo to my hdtv.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

Hi Dominic, There is no cable included with the VCR for that, but you should not need one from box to VCR. The cable box should come with a standard coax cable to connect it to the TV. Unscrew that from the TV and plug it into the VCR input port, then run another coax cable from the VCR to the TV. If you find yourself without a spare coax cable, they are very cheap. You can get the screw-on kind or the press-on type if your fingers lack dexterity the way mine do. A cable 2-3 feet long should do it, but just be sure it is a coax, not an RCA. Rodger

Hello,I made the same mistake, check that you have ALL the cables connected. There are three total- HDMI- Power- I forget the name if the last. But there are three cables to be connected.

Thank you for your response. So when I get my HD box from Comcast, I should get one of their HD cables also. Right? Should I also get a Comcast HD cable instead of one from some other source to hook up my upconverting DVD player? Kinda takes some of the fun out of researching the world of HD plasma tvs. :-)

All you need is a set od RCA cables foe each end of the Grex. Those are the red, white, and yellow cables. You can use any color cable, really. The yellow one (or blue, red, or green if you have Component video cables instead) is generally built with more shielding. Run a cable from the "in" side of the grex to the DVR or TV video output (usually a yellow hole). Then run another cable from the "out" side of the grex to the dvd recorder or VCR video input (usually a yellow hole). Use the power cable that came with the grex, and thats all. Its always "on", and there is no need to hook up the remaining audio cables. Let me know if you have other questions! All you need is a set od RCA cables foe each end of the Grex.

i will try to help, but it is going to be hard for me to explain it all. first off mine works fine , but i have it hooked up to one vhs/dvd combo.an one vhs/ dvd recorder. this is hooked up to about 11 or 12 rca cables an it plays thru the tv, but you have to have this unit pluged in between two vcrs .. i know it is confushing, but you have to figure out the instructions, this might take a while. it took two us to figure this out, but it works fine , great picture an everything. i sure hope this helps. phil

Personally I would go with an DVI to HDMI cord. And use the two DVI ports. Or two DVI to HDMI adapters. The only way to do what you are talking about is a HDMI Splitter box even then I do not think it would work for what you want, HTH Mark

I believe you need hdmi to coaxial converter, this will take older device and make signal into hdmi for a new tv

We connected a DVD to the TV with no problems. We don't have a DVD/VCR combo, but I'm certain you could hook one up, with the proper cables.

Hi Jim, Yes that is what I use mine for, I have hundreds of hours of VHS tapes that I shot of my family. I am converting them and burning them onto DVD's. My VCR has two composite outputs, I connect one to my capture card and the other to the convertor and the hdmi output to my big screen monitor. Works great and the quality surprised me.

Yes, if your cables meet the high quality needs to transfer the images. This means from the source to the wall from the wall to the output source from that source to your TV. Three cables all have to be of the same or higher quality then the recommended by the TV or video source/receiving video receiver. Simply yes but you have to keep all factors in perspective.

There are 2 x HDMI ports, 1 x USB and a normal 3 x wires connector. Enough for a DVD and a wii. But not more than that + DVR

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but I'll try to answer. You will need to separately purchase a set of component cables to go from the capture device to your TV as it does not come with those. Also your TV with need a place to insert component cables. Those are the blue green and red ones.
