Is the VHS a 4 head recording unit?

Yes, it is. The Funai DV220FX4 is identical to the Magnavox DV225MG9 except for the nameplate.

It's been a great unit for me. Your question is a bit unclear but here goes. I have Wide Open West as my cable provider. I have extended basic service(meaning that I have ~ 200 stations) I can record to VHS OR DVD directly from the cable as long as the channel does not have the hyphen/dot. Channels "2" through "39" can record on VHS but "59.45" only records to DVD due to restrictions built into the unit. The on-screen message actually says that "digital" channels can not be recorded to VHS, only to DVD. I take this to mean that once a channel number ceases to be a whole number it's DVD only. All of my channels are digital, including 2 through 39.. Hope this helps. It's been a great unit for me. Your question is a bit unclear but here goes. I have Wide Open West as my cable provider.

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

This Funai DVD / VHS combo will accept stereo audio (red & white or black RCA plug) and composite video (yellow RCA plug) inputs, as well as S-video (S-video plug) input from any external device. If your TV set has an audio output (headphone jack or RCA jack(s)) output, and a video output (yellow RCA jack or S-video jack), you can connect the audio and video OUTPUTS of your TV to the INPUT jacks on your Funai. You can then record, using the Funai, whatever audio and video is being output from your TV set. Since this Funai IS NOT a digital video recorder (DVR), in the conventional sense, you will have to tune the TV to whatever channel you want to record, and then start the Funai recording process manually using Funai controls. Since the Funai does not have a TV tuner, or a type F coaxial cable connector for connection to cable, satellite or TV antenna wiring, you cannot use the Funai to set up TV channels to be tuned, nor a time to start recording automatically. Other than your TV set, you can use any device capable of receiving a TV signal (audio and video), such as a standard VCR which includes a tuner, or a cable box or satellite receiver, to provide signals to your Funai for recording. You could use a VCR to record your desired TV programming on a VHS cassette, and then use the Funai to copy the VHS tape to DVD. Video quality from this process will be fairly poor, since VHS tape recording does not provide the TV quality you're used to getting from either DVDs or from your cable, satellite or antenna signal provider. The quality of DVD video recorded using your Funai cannot be any better than the video from the source you use (output of your TV set, output from a VCR, or a tape made with your VCR). If you have a cable or satellite box with audio and composite video (yellow RCA jack) or S-video outputs, that's probably the best signal source you can use with the Funai. Good luck :)

No clue. I still use VHS tapes daily and just started recording movies on DVDs 2 years ago.

There is "not" one on my unit. It has worked great for using my cassette player so I can record onto a SD Card.

No, This is only a device to give you connections to a DVD or VHS recorder.

It does record onto VHS. That is about the only thing that I have been able to figure out. This is the MOST ridiculously confusing piece of crap to operate I have ever seen. I swear to god, if you buy this you will be as frustrated as I am with it. I may just throw it out and get something easy to understand. (Who the hell thought it a good idea to take the "eject" button OFF of the remote! Do NOT buy this thing!

I'm sure that depends on the settings available on your recorder. My Panasonic VHS/DVD recorder allows 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours on these single layer discs. You'll need to check your manual. I imagine the resolution gets worse as the time lengthens but I've done several off TV at the 4 hour setting for movies over 2 hours and they look fine on playback. Hope this helps.

No just one. It is not perfect. The CD or DVD must be perfect to play or record.

yes it does record on both vhs and dvd. recorded product are very high quality. could not ask for any thing better.

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.

Thats a good question, luckily i have 1vhs that i was able to use so i could check that out for u. The answer to your question is YES, it will infact hold 77 VHS tapes. 2 dvds combined is considered 1 vhs and also the height of the vhs fits perfectly on all racks from top to the bottom. Hope that was helpful, if u have anymore questions feel free to ask. :)

Yes you can it just won't hold as many because VHS tapes are bigger than DVDs or Blurays.

Sorry, don't really know. I have a JVC recorder to change tapes to dvd and I used two of them and does not work.

Yes, the S-Video output from VCR machine can be connected to the Video in side of the DVD recorder. Sound cables are connected as normal. The sound quality from older VHS tapes may be noisy. If you have a PC with a DVD drive, and software to edit video, the simpler solution is to record the VHS tape on to the hard drive, use the sound filter, and then burn the DVD.

This machine has some issues and limitations! While it works and plays both VHS and DVD, it is designed to record only in the VHS mode and not the DVD mode, and the digital display is only for tracking the play of VHS tapes. The machine often makes noises in the play function of both the VHS and DVD modes which I find annoying, as I have to turn up the volume a bit on the movie to drown out the noise of the player. The Sony machine I had for over 10 years before it developed an issue with the DVD player was way better quality wise.
