I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

Yes you can. I have this unit and Verizon cable. I record tapes of TV programs on cable all the time. Also I can record tapes from DVDs in this unit . No external DVD player needed.

I don't record on the VCR..I have Dish and a dvr box came with it where I record. Sorry. You need to go online to Phillips.com and see if they can help you.

Yes, as long as your cable box has the RCA out jacks for the composite video and left and right audio, as almost all of them do nowadays. This unit has the input RCA jacks for these connections.

As it goes with any VCR, yes, you can record from the TV so long as you set it up to have the TV signal go through the unit. There's no coaxial cable input on the D-VR610, but it does have HDMI and RCA cable inputs.

I don't think so. I don't use it to record from the cable tv - only to play dvds and video tapes.

I've got a digital cable box (standard definition) hooked up with composite cables and I haven't had any problems recording off TV. HBO, Cinemax, On Demand, and various TV channels; all worked just fine. I've read about others who had problems, but in my area at least everything seems to be recordable. For VHS tapes, if you've got some that are copy-protected, you'll need to get a "digital video stabilizer". Just do a Google search, there are several models available. It's a small black box that you hook up between the VCR and the DVD recorder.

The VCR needs to be hooked into the basic cable box if you have no box and your cable is direct into the back of the TV then you need to have the DVD/VCR plugged into the back of your TV (usually the cords are color coded red to red white to white, ect.) and it will say video out and video in on the VCR player recorder. Then you should be able to just push record for the show you want recorded. I hope this has helped you.

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

It can use Coax cable in and out like the older style VCR's. Not sure if it has RCA connectors. I am using a universal remote for it in my case no remote was provided.

I don't know if it will work on a digital TV. You can record from TV to the VCR.

You can record if you receive your TV signal from an antenna and you can record on a VHS from the DVD player.

Yes. It allows you to change the channel on the digital box while you are away. I still record things with a VCR by going from antenna to converter box to VCR to TV. It works great for that. Be certain to get this model though.

The answer is yes! I have my Roku connected via the RCA jacks (and two sets of RCA cables) like this: Roku --> VCR line in --> VCR line out --> TV. Your VCR should have a "channel 0" or "line in" or "camera input" function. Set it to this channel and it will record anything the Roku plays. Have fun. :)

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

Probably no, but I haven't tried. I say that because is only has coax input ans it is a digital only tuner. I suspect that your VCR puts out an analog signal. Look for a hybrid card, or one with RCA inputs.

The only thing I can tell you is that when I got the unit, I had to have a satellite receiver to plug into in order to get the picture on the television and get it to record. The instructions did not say anything about a cable box, only a satellite receiver. That's all I can tell you.

There is not tuner in it so you would need a cable box or tv connected to be able to record broadcast content. We only use is for viewing DVD's and some older VHS tapes so I am not very familiar with the recording function. It has been a very reliable unit for us.

If it is like the one I have; it is only a player; I think you can record from the tv to a vhs tape; I am not sure; try it and see what happens; but I have only used mine for a player.
