I know it is late but here is the answer. The best way is to use red, yellow, white RCA cables Your VCR probaly came with them. The yellow fits into the green receptacle at back of set. This set up is called composite. Dont forget to change input on remote. If these connections are already being used, you can hook up your VCR using "antennae out" on VCR to "antennae in" at back of set. These are the screw in connections using standard TV cable. Again change input setting on remote(Picture of antennae). Picture very nice using either method. These are great sets for the money. Over the last 15 years, and perhaps 25 different sets, I still prefer the plasnas.

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

Mine is hooked up to cable, through a cable box, and you would have to set the vcr to channel 4, to set the cable box to tape. Considering you have to set channels on it, with the cable box, I would think so, but cannot say for sure.

I am kinda having trouble understanding your question, do you mean that your TV has only HDMI input's and the VCR/DVD combo supplies RCA output? If this is the case, I have been using mine to run my VCR/DVD combo through RCA cables, and output as an HDMI. This has done a great job with doing that. Hope this helps.

anything with a RCA Jack (Yellow) video in and or a TV with video in. you will have to buy a cable to get from the cam to your TV(display). a old VCR and old TV will too.

I understand the first part of what you said. I'll look for a TV with a VGA port. Is there a special cord or connector for that? The second part sounds like a lot of work just to watch a movie. I truly thank you for your help

It has yrw inputs... Don't have vhs... Love the TV... You will need a speaker bar as most of these tvs are lacking with volume...

Yes, you should be able to use an older VCR, with red, white and yellow male RCA output jacks into this device and connect to a modern HDMI TV via a HDMI male-male cable.

i will try to help, but it is going to be hard for me to explain it all. first off mine works fine , but i have it hooked up to one vhs/dvd combo.an one vhs/ dvd recorder. this is hooked up to about 11 or 12 rca cables an it plays thru the tv, but you have to have this unit pluged in between two vcrs .. i know it is confushing, but you have to figure out the instructions, this might take a while. it took two us to figure this out, but it works fine , great picture an everything. i sure hope this helps. phil

Cannot answer the question without a lot more information. Is your "cable" coming from a cable company that you are paying for? Then I suggest asking them. If your "cable" is coming from your own antenna and you are just getting free over-the-air TV then you need a vcr/dvd with a "digital" tuner. Assuming that your dead vcr/dvd player just died recently and you were able to watch TV and record on the VCR with no problems then the best thing to do is to replace it with one that works the same way. DVD/VCR combos generally come 3 ways: 1- with an "analog" tuner; 2- with a "digital tuner"; 3- with no tuner. Find out what kind of tuner your old VCR/DVD had and replace it with one that has the same kind of tuner and it should work with the same connections. If you don't know what kind of tuner it had search the Internet with the model number and it will likely show up. If it is more than 4-5 years old it probably had an "analog" tuner. Be aware that no one is currently manufacturing VCR/DVD combos with tuners. Whatever is out there new will have no tuner which will not work for you if you only have a cable and no cable box or separate tuner. If you find a vcr/dvd with a tuner it will be used, refurbished or NOS (new old stock). They are hard to find and usually expensive when you do plus many of the used or refurbished ones usually don't work right if they work at all. I went through half a dozen before I found a good one.

Yes i connect it to my older tv via the RCA cable provided. If your TV is really old you can plug the device thru your DVD player or VCR.

There is an adaptor available here on Amazon that works great. Here is the name of it: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD. I have one and all you need is your HDMI cable and some RCA cable and you are ready to go.

I can view VHS tapes. In fact, I view them while copying to DVD. Haven't tried recording TV to VHS, but I have recorded TV to DVD-RW (you have to have a cable box or such).

This is how mine is setup; VCR connected to TV so I can view VHS tapes on TV channel 3. My VCR out w/grex to my Recorder in, my recorder out to TV - I hooked to AV but you can connect w/HDMI - I don't record TV so my cable connects to my TV, but, just like the old days of recording VHS, if you were trying to record TV you would have to connect your cable through the recorder and watch on the HDMI port that the recorder is set to and run your channels through the recorder. If you have satellite or cable TV you will need a special decoder as paid services generally won't run straight through your VCR or DVD recorders, not a problem if you have antenna.

Yes, you can view VHS tapes on this unit too. See my response to "Has anyone been able to play/view a VHS tape?"

yes you can use rca video and audio cables for old tvs and it does have a hdmi out put but you can only record is SD mode not Hi Def. However beware most things on tv are scramble now so recording with dvd doesn't work with many channels Vhs will record anything but this is not the best recorder or player I am very dissatisfied with it.

yes, you can do it. you put your vcr tape in, you put your dvd in, go to the input button on your toshiba remote, and scan up or down, choose your tape dub, or whatever yours may say, then hit record. you don't even need the tv hooked up, unless you want to watch the movie while it records (that's recommended)... good luck... also look in your instruction manual. it's tells you even better.... it shows you the hookups in diagrams. gary.....
