will this record from an old, non HD TV?

Yes,if the recorder has a tuner.The type of TV makes no difference,it just shows the picture.The recorder tuner is what the channels come thru on.

Yes, this is a non-HD device. Just for clarification you don't record from a TV, you record from a standard definition analog input source (e.g. composite [video, right audio, left audio] antenna, or cable (not 100% sure, but I think it has a cable tuner). You will hook up your TV to the DVD recorder, your TV will just function as an output device.

No. It is a great OTA tuner (2 of them) that record in HD. It does have inputs for other devices such as a satellite receiver BUT those are pass through to the TV. You can't record the other inputs.

It only has a standard definition tuner. It will not record in HD, only in " high quality ". Meaning, it will only record in standard definition even if the channel being recorded is an HD channel. The dvd player will up convert to 1080p though. Hope I this helps.

No tuner so it can't directly record TV. If it is connected to another device that has a tuner then it could.

This unit has an ATSC tuner, so it should be able to record over the air HD signal. Just get a good antenna.

Yes you can hook it up to an older tv and hear both music and voice . The record function is great !

If your signal is mono, it will only record as mono. You can split the signal into two channels, but it's still going to be mono

Hi Donna,I'm not sure. I only recorded shows from our cable box. It worked perfectly with that.

No, this recorder is SD, but if you record in either HQ or SP mode, the resolution is high enough that it looks quite good upconverted to 1080p via the HDMI output om my 55" TV, but it's still not HD. Be sure to select 16:9 video aspect ratio in the menu so it will look right on an HDTV.

Depends on if the HDMI signal is using HDCP. My guess is that it won't unless you strip the HDCP from the original source before going into the capture device.

This unit can record from just about any source, radio, sound board, tv, anything that has RCA output plugs or you could use an adapter to go say from 1/8 inch to RCA.I am using it to record live music from a sound board.

Be advised, unit has only a standard definition tuner. It can't record high definition tv. It will play dvds in high definition, and will upscale everything to high definition. But upscaled standard def isn't high definition.

Only if your TV Has Audio and Video outputs. Most New TV's don't. You can record from DVR or Cable box outputs Video R and L audio. That's what I do. Some still have Svideo outputs use this first Peter better Video. Peter

I believe that the statement above is incorrect .This device should record HDTV broadcast since it contains an ATSC tuner.However it will not play the broadcast back as HD since the media to which it writes (regular DVD & VHS tape) do not support playback in HD. Ergo you lose some definition in playback.

Without know specifically the models of where you are originating a signal from and where the signal is going to, it is difficult to say yes. Here is a link on the manufactures website to give better detail, http://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=HDRGBRL. The one part I do know, your "old" tv will need to have a component input. As for your SONY, give me your model number and I will attempt to help.

No, this device is NOT for recording of anything! It has outputs, not inputs. You use it for playing downloaded or backed-up media content (Music and Video) on a TV that has an HDMI connection.
