I know this response is almost a year old but if anyone sees this can you tell me how I go about copying a personal VHS tape to a DVD. Thanks, billh347@gmail.com

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

According to the menu is will convert VHS to DVD but I have not used that part of the program... I use a program called USB TV Box which does as excellent job. Sorry, cannot answer your question. Robert

This unit only copies home made VHS tapes onto a DVD, the one I had before would copy any VHS onto a DVD . What a bummere!!!!

you probably need software to convert vhs to dvd files in order to burn them on to discs

No it will not, the DVD portion is just a player, nor can you do DVD to VHS. I used to work for the company.

Only if the DVD is not copywriter protected. DVDs that have been burned via computer can be copied onto VHS tapes.

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

Not unless you have a separate VCR. This is just a DVD recorder. I recorded all my old VCR tapes with it, from a VCR, and it works great.

I have no experience with this specific machine, but the Emerson DVD recorder/VCR which I had and functioned would allow the recording from VCR tapes to DVD and vice versa. I can also tell you that the machine I had was the first DVD recorder I ever bought and it outlasted five other machines. When it ceased to function as a recorder it allowed me to finalize all partially filled discs I had recorded on it and still will play recorded, finalized dvds. When the VCR portion of the machine I had ceased to perform in the VCR capacity I found that I could input from another VCR and then record from the tapes to discs on the Emerson DVD recorder. Hope this helps.

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.

It depends on the VHS tape. A copy-protected tape will not record to any disk correctly.

Yes it is it will record both ways but there is a problem, it will not copy most commercial dvds and vhs tapes for many have macrovision in them which blocks copying. This was done to prevent piracy, people making copies and selling them. It is legal to make a backup copy of a commercial disc or tape you bought to protect your investment but you cannot sell or give away the copy, it must remain in your possession.

No, it can only be done with an external tuner, after many internet searches by me and two stores that sell this I find no such tuners. I returned mine to the seller for a refund. What you have is a VHS/DVD player only, not a Recorder.

Will this play a Mini Digital Video Cassette from my Digital Camera on my VHS and can I convert them to DVD in the same unit?

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.

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 !
