I know it is late but here is the answer. The best way is to use red, yellow, white RCA cables Your VCR probaly came with them. The yellow fits into the green receptacle at back of set. This set up is called composite. Dont forget to change input on remote. If these connections are already being used, you can hook up your VCR using "antennae out" on VCR to "antennae in" at back of set. These are the screw in connections using standard TV cable. Again change input setting on remote(Picture of antennae). Picture very nice using either method. These are great sets for the money. Over the last 15 years, and perhaps 25 different sets, I still prefer the plasnas. I know it is late but here is the answer.

There are inputs for audio & video on the back of the chassis. It has "RCA" - type receptacles for both video and audio inputting.--MK

Cannot answer the question without a lot more information. Is your "cable" coming from a cable company that you are paying for? Then I suggest asking them. If your "cable" is coming from your own antenna and you are just getting free over-the-air TV then you need a vcr/dvd with a "digital" tuner. Assuming that your dead vcr/dvd player just died recently and you were able to watch TV and record on the VCR with no problems then the best thing to do is to replace it with one that works the same way. DVD/VCR combos generally come 3 ways: 1- with an "analog" tuner; 2- with a "digital tuner"; 3- with no tuner. Find out what kind of tuner your old VCR/DVD had and replace it with one that has the same kind of tuner and it should work with the same connections. If you don't know what kind of tuner it had search the Internet with the model number and it will likely show up. If it is more than 4-5 years old it probably had an "analog" tuner. Be aware that no one is currently manufacturing VCR/DVD combos with tuners. Whatever is out there new will have no tuner which will not work for you if you only have a cable and no cable box or separate tuner. If you find a vcr/dvd with a tuner it will be used, refurbished or NOS (new old stock). They are hard to find and usually expensive when you do plus many of the used or refurbished ones usually don't work right if they work at all. I went through half a dozen before I found a good one.

If you can plug RCAs into your tv then yes. If you can't plug RCAs directly into your tv then you can plug them into a VCR and then plug the VCR to your tv. Either way, the answer is YES.

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.

If your vcr has rca outputs (red white and yellow) you can use this adapter. If it just has an antenna cable output you need something else

you can use the S-video cable and just not hook up the yellow video on the RCA cables (just use the red/white for audio). this might make the picture a bit better than the RCA. cable from wall to RF modulator. I wanted to use this to set up an older VCR and DVD. they were so old that the format didn't work with the new RF modulator. good luck!

Plug the Video OUT cable (Yellow) of the VHS player into the input socket of the Grex and then plug a second Yellow cable into the Outpu socket of the Grex into your TV AV socket. Remember the Grex requires to be powered up from mains voltage.

No you can NOT. This converts HDMI to AV (yellow video port), not the other way around. They make a separate converter that does AV (yellow, red, and white VCR connections) to HDMI. That's what you would want if you are connecting a VCR to an HDTV. Just make sure it says "AV to HDMI" and not the other way around. This product works very well, I would assume their other converters work just as well.

It depends on how you're using it. If you're using it for a VCR you would need to plug the RCA jacks into your VCR and the USB to your TV. It won't work the other way around though. The USB on this cable is output only... I tried using it to hook up my laptop to the TV. It was a no-go. But for your VCR it should do just fine.

If your tv has rca inputs [video,lft audio,rt audio] -yes,if not, use those on vcr and select alternate video input button [all vcr's have this feature] which is how mine is hooked up! Works fine!

This is not the cord to hook up your vcr and tv. You need a regular audio/video cord - that red, white and yellow!!

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

I'm probably the one who suggested the VCR setup. I bought and installed an Onkyo 607 for my son-in-law and he gets analog cable without a box. The VCR is the only way to input the video signal through the Onkyo. I didn't like the VCR tuner so just used the TV's audio outs into the Onkyo's Tv input to get cable TV sound through the system.

Just plug your existing RCA cables from your VCR into this. This does not plug directly into the back of your VCR, so you have to use your existing RCA's.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.
