Will this funai copy my old vhs tapes to dvd? Also, can it record a tv show onto a vhs tape.

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.

It will not copy tapes to dvd. However, it will record tv shows onto vhs tape.

The Funai does not have a DVD burner so you cannot copy tapes to DVD's. You can record TV programs but you must use the TV's turner to select the program you want to record and you must connect RCA cables between the TV and the Funai. If your TV does not have audio and video outputs with RCA connectors additional equipment will be necessary.

Yes, it is able to dub from VHS to DVD and from DVD to VHS. Great for preserving personal videos. (If the original is copy-protected, the device will detect this, stop recording, and give you an error message.)

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

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.

This would be a poor use of this DVR. Your VHS signal is standard definition and the only thing this DVR is particularly good at is high definition. Any files recorded from your VCR could be backed up to USB flash memory, but writing them onto disk might prove tricky and you'd need an additional computer and additional know how.

Yes it will. I have transferred older VHS tapes that are not available any more and it copied them all without a problem.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

Yes it does. But since it plays on to TV there is little need to convert to DVD. The quality of vhs is low so other than archiving there is not much reason to convert.

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

If you are asking if you can burn the VHS contents to the dvd drive, no. The DVD drive on this unit is just a player. Check out Panasonic VHS/DVD recorders. I have one that records VHS to DVD -- it works beautifully, but is very old and no longer available. You may be able to find one from a third-party seller.

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

I have copied copy protected movies from my DVR. I don't see why it wouldn't copy them from VHS. To be sure, I would recommend you go to the company site. Click on "Contact Us". You can ask them any question you wish and they do answer within a reasonable time. The link is: http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html Hope this helps.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

Yes. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).

Depends on what you want to do and what kind of inputs your TV has. If you want it to play VHS and DVD on your TV, it has HDMI, S-Video, and composite video outputs. If your TV can accept one of these, then that works. It does not have an RF receiver. So, If you want to record incomming television, it won't work. If you want to copy VHS to DVD (the reason I bought it), then all you need a monitor (your TV or computer monitor (HDMI can be cheaply converted to a monitor's DVI)) so you can read and operate it's menues.

you would have to use the "Dubbing" function to record to a VHS tape. you would have to start the "dubbing" to transfer a program and then stop recording during the commercial and then start recording the program until the next commercial. if you want a DVD of the program you would reverse the "Dubbing" function to transfer a VHS tape to a DVD. the process is time consuming since you will be starting and stopping the "Dubbing" but i have done it.
