Although it supposedly has this function, I have not been able to make it work!

You can record future shows to VHS as with older machine's with the timer setting. At this day and age though, you'd be better off getting a DVR. Obtaining VHS tapes has to be hard.

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.

I have mine hooked up to the vcr until i get the DVR. The VCR only records as long as the tape is (6-8-10 hour tape). My neighbor got the DVR that goes well with the cameras and they can record 24/7. You do have to erase it. I think theirs goes to 385 hours and they bought a hard drive extension. I am going to get one asap then i will be able to tell you first hand.

We used this only to play VCR tapes or DVD's. I don't believe it could record DVD. I think it can record the VCR from the cable box but we never used it. We just record the programs on the DVR for a long time now.

if you taped a television show on VHS you can record it to a DVD and if you recorded something on a DVD that is to say something that you recorded you can record it to the VHS

Yes, you can record from a cassette or I would imagine you can also record from CD. My machine is new enough, I haven't done that yet. I also use the variable speed feature to slow down music for teaching dance.

The Emerson EWD2004 DVD+VCR can be programmed to do a timed recording.The manual can be downloaded from the Internet.The unit I purchased came with a generic remote control, and I had to buy an appropriate remote off the Internet.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

Can you record to the VHS from the TV? I frequently set the VCR to record a show if I'm out, but would not be interested in keeping it forever. I do not have a cable "box" or satellite.

I seem to recall being able to watch one show while taping another. We are now on digital in our area, and can't do that anymore, but I think it was possible before digital if you set the VCR to tape. Not of course if you tape manually.

Yes, it can record a tv show onto a vhs tape as I do that all the time. You just have to be sure it is set on the channel of the show you are taping. I don't think you can copy a vhs tape to dvd but am not sure. I couldn't find any instructions in the book that comes with it.

Yes, you can record on a VCR with it. Just connect the coax cable from the digital converter box to the back of your VCR, then connect a coax cable from the VCR to your TV. It works just like if you had cable hooked up to your VCR.

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery. I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD. That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?
