Can I play my old Hi8 tapes on my 55" Samsung LED TV?

Yes, you can use a VCR or ho8 cam plugged into the tv using ac connection or you can use a software program to convert those hi8 analog tapes to digital. Either way works well.

My best guess is no. The MP120 and HS120 are designations I have never heard of. The 120 of course refers to length of tape 120 minutes or two hours. The only really important designation is Hi8mm. and your tapes say 8mm instead of Hi8mm. This is the reason I say: no it won't work for you. There were two formats of this size tape. 8mm is "low-band" and recorded at a frequency of 22 megahertz on the "radio frequency" spectrum (the equivalent of VHS tapes) and the advantage of the 8mm is to record on smaller sized camera and tapes. Hi8mm is "high-band" and recorded at 44.5 megahertz on the RF spectrum (equivalent to S-VHS tapes) and much larger cameras (some would even say ungainly) If I had any Low band 8mm tapes I would drop one into my Hi8mm camera to see if they play. I have played VHS tapes on an S-VHS player/recorder and they worked fine. The S-VHS player cost $1,400 in 1990 and had a lot of features not commonly available for those times. You may have to keep looking for an 8mm video camera and not a Hi8mm video camera such as this, or you could take a gamble and give it a try, how much could you possibly lose?

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.

Yes, I have old cassette tapes from the early 70's onward and it played them without any issue.

One of the outputs on the CRF940 is for RCA & S-Video. You should be able to connect your older tv to that output, if I understand you correctly. Take a look at the Amazon photo of the back of the box and you will see an output that may fit the bill for you.

Yes. I used a HDMI cable only to connect. Of course that does not mean old tapes or DVDs are HD but they are the same.

My TV is a UN55ES7500 and the audio quality is excellent even though I have a Sony system attached to it. When the Sony system is not on the sound it GREAT and my TV has 4 builtin speakers.

You should be able to connect the s-video and the audio-L and audio-R to your TV. Good luck.

Yes you can. You will need to splice the connectors on your wires. the speakers do not have plain ends they have LG connectors. Do not buy this HT system it is very quirky and LG will not help me. When it does work it sounds great. the dvd portion stops playing and takes forever to restart. good luck

You shouldn't need to because the Samsung UN55U8550 has a built in upscaler. I watch broadcast television on it at 1080i and it upscales beautifully. I also have my computer connected to it at 1080p for my Steam games and media and they also upscale very well. Wait until blue-ray players support HDMI 2.0 (this TV does) then upgrade your player.

I haven't used it a lot, because I bought it to do some archiving. But it did play Hi8 fine for the short time I've used it with no problem. I didn't know there was anything else but Hi8 analog. That was what was sold years ago, and that's what I've worked with.

Probably not. The speaker only reproduces what the TV is doing. You could try your audio settings on the TV to see if a different setting works with the newer DVDs.

I am so sorry, but I would have no way of knowing. I have the 55" that I control with my Dish Network remote. Do you have cable or satellite tv? You must be on the proper input for that HMDI 1 or HDMI 2. That's the only possibility that I can think of other than a malfunctioning unit. Good luck....

Hi marianne h., yes, this Sony CCD-TRV68 can play tapes while connected to the TV using AV cables. -Ely

No reason to think they wouldn't since my tv is basically the same except it is a p55st30. I think it would be worth a try.

Sorry I took this long to respond. The answer is yes provided your TV has component hook up you can use RCA style cables.
