Hi, I don't get your point, you have hi8 tapes or different kind, please let me know

I bought this to play some old 8mm tapes I made in the late 80s and early 90s. I can also use it to transfer the tapes to regular VHS or a r/w DVD player, but I have not figured out how to transfer them to my computer yet.

yes, you can play them with this camera. I recently used it to transfer my old 'Hi8' tapes to digital.

This would help in what you're asking as long as your computer has a digital output and you need to convert it to the analog inputs on your tape deck.

IF you have the old RCA plugs you can record, but it is not HD. The quality is bad. Me and my friends bought this product and we had to buy another one

Yes since the unit would have to be in the recording mode you should be able to play. You can play a cassette without recording so a record should be no different. The output on my unit goes thru an amplifier

Yes, you can listen to tapes on it, but if you want to convert from tape to mp3, you need a flash drive (they're pretty cheap).

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

Yes you can. As long as the tape isn't copy protected or the tab on the tape is intact. I did this with family videotapes and it worked very well.

You sure can. This is a really nice VCR even though it is older We have been very pleased with it.

Sony made a DV mini tape player/recorder. Model #Sony DSR-25 DVCAM MiniDV Compact Desktop Player/Recorder-Firewire-NTSC/PAL. It has analog video and sound AND DV (Digital video and sound) outputs; that you can connect to VCR's or similar devices.They are often on eBay; but they usually go for under $200.00. There are also Sony DV camcorders; but they usually sell for more than the player/recorders above.If you do not wish to record any more, then I would strongly suggest you check out the Sony DSR-25. patdee

That is what I did with this camcorder and a video capture software. BUT!! I bought a refurbished one of these and it ruined one of my tapes. bye bye precious home videos.

They sure can. But you wont be able to play them back on your camera, unless you have one that can... but from computer to computer or usb device sure youll be able to play them

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

To the best of my knowledge no..bought my camera back in 07 and since 3 times upgraded and if memory serves me right when I tried to play back other tapes from a Sony and Panasonic camcorder did not work..way want to wait and see if anyone else had luck in doing so but am 90% sure it is a no go...

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.

Only if you want to play them on anything but the camera itself....but you can change tapes on that anytime. I pesonally prefer to transfer important videos to DVD. There are DVD recorders, especially good ones from Magnavox, that you can simply plug in video and audio inputs to very easily make great DVDs. I have literally scores of such discs for both my business and family videos.

if you can upgrade to a blue ray by sony it will play everything you own except the tapes. if you are still watching tapes and recording that way then go ahead.

You can record on cassette from almost any input. I recommend getting the manual and reading through it here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PTTCSM60/Turntable-Boombox-Multimedia-System---Plays-AMFM-Radio,-CDs,-Cassettes,-MP3s,---USBSD-Memory-Ports-and-Vinyl-to-MP3-Encoding It isn't written very well, but it outline all features in detail.
