Will the W900A accept an old VCR? We have many old classic & children's VCRs to play & currently use a 15 year old 27' TV.

I have a duel JVC that plays both tapes and discs very well when connected to the RCA jacks.

I was curious about this too. With old VCR units in the past, you could set the VCR to a public station like channel 3 and have it record from the TV tuner itself.Perhaps one could use a cable box output via coax to this unit and set the unit tuner to channel 3 or similar. This would however remove any automatic facets unless you set your EyeTV software to record channel 3, and make sure the cable box was set to the correct channel ahead of time.Anyone know if this would hold true?

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Hello no it doesn't work at all. I tried to hook all my different devices to a monitor an it didn't work at all. So I'm sure it won't work with ur VCR. Hope this helps.

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!

It does appear to be. The V6800 appears to be older since it does not seem to be available anywhere while the V9800 is available. Also the V9800 presumably has better quality picture since it says it has 1080p upconversion. That said, the only reason i purchased it was that it was the least expensive VHS player I could find and I needed to transfer some tapes to DVD. It was entirely satisfactory for that purpose.Th

You'll need to look at the outputs on your older box and match up accordingly. My guess is you'll want RCA cables that are the yellow red white ones. I believe on this TV it either has a yellow colored input or is one of the 3 red/green/blue component inputs for the yellow composite video input. If any of this doesn't make sense the terms I used should show up quickly on a Google search. Hope this helps. Also the HDMI won't be applicable to your older VCR. Even if you could use it the video quality sent from the VCR will still be as bad on a flat screen as what you'll get with the rca cables. Summary: look at VCR/DVD back and match accordingly.

Better to be safe and not get it if it only says 65. There is a reason they put a size limit on it. It might not even fit on tv. Find the right size. Trust me. Not worth risking your tv breaking or wasting money.

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.

Depends on how old the tapes are. Mine from about 1992 to 2003 work fine. I did purchase a more recent tape that did not. The older ones are no longer manufactured. I did find an outlet through Amazon that claims they have tapes that will work. I'm waiting for the shipment.

You should be fine by using RCA cables (red and white ones) in the back. If its a newer VCR, maybe it has S Video which would also work.

Hi, Tyler. I am not sure about the newer records. Ours are mostly from the 60s and they do quite well. I would think the newer ones would be OK depending on what the recommendations from the manufacturer say. If you know someone who has this entertainment system, you might try it first before you decide to purchase one for yourself. Probably not much help for you but I haven't even seen any new records yet. I may try it if I can find a new record somewhere that isn't too expensive.

We used it on a 32 inch tv and it is perfect. I loved the shelf for the dvr and vcr. I know it's not a 39 but wanted you to know my input. :)

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

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.

You should be able to. I only had this for a short time. See the review below. I bought this used DVD/VCR on line through Amazon. When I received it and tried it out, I found that when I played a VCR tape back the picture bounced around and sometimes the horizontal went out of sync. I returned the DVD/VCR for a prompt full refund. I only had this device for a short time. See a copy of my review below.
