does this play vcr tapes as well as dvds

Not only does it play VCR tapes but it up-converts them and, different than most combo boxes, all through a single HDMI cable so no changing inputs to watch DVDs and VCR tapes. It also can copy them to DVD if you prefer moving them to that more permanent media for posterity. Hope that helps!

I'm hearing conflicting reports that it does NOT up convert the VHS signal through HDMI, while some say it does up to 1080i. Does anyone know what exactly the VHS output is through HDMI?

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.

Hi. I don't know what PAL is? The DVD/VCR Combo that I purchased does play both DVD and VCR formats. However, the unit will not allow me to advance on the DVD format. Very disappointing.

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

Hi Kenneth, VHS tapes should play back okay using the Sony SLVN750 player. -Vincent

The DVDO does work with "standard" VCR as in VHS or Betamax with not special equipment needed as you claim. Perhaps you have a bad unit. All one has to do is connect the output of the VCR to the input of the DVDO and THAT's IT! The DVDO does everything else. And if you've got a TBC, then you don't sound like someone who needs the DVDO for VHS playback. How can one have a TBC and NOT understand the DVDO?

I am using it successfully to hook up an S-video microscope camera to my computer. I would not recommend it for a DVD/VCR it does not carry the audio signal. There are other ones that do.

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.

If your vcr has rca outputs (red white and yellow) you can use this adapter. If it just has an antenna cable output you need something else

Yes! This is why I bought it. I can convert my VHS tapes to DVD discs. It works perfectly. The only thing you can't do is watch tv on another channel when you are recording a program.

Yes, it does. There are times when the audio does not sync with the video when using the included software, but I use 3 or 4 software packages and the Adobe software always keeps it in sync when recording from a VCR tape. You'll (obviously...) need to run the audio out from the VCR to the audio in with cables unless you have an HDMI upconvert out on the VCR deck.

Yes... according to the manual. I don't remember trying it myself. They call it bi-directional dubbing. VCR to DVD or DVD to VCR.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

No it had to have a tuner it, so you can watch one cannel as you are recording another. Philips DVP3340V DVD VCR Combo had no build in tuner.

I really can't say. I bought it for the VCR part. I can say, this is the 3rd one of this particular combo that I've had and have been pleased with all three.
