I am trying to copy my old VHS tapes to my DVD player. I have a connection comming in from my Direct TV box out to my DVD and then back to my tv. All of this is via cables. There is no problem there as I can watch DVD's without any problems. I have an older GE VHS Plus+ VHS player that just has a yellow and white RCA jacks for sound and video. There is also a connection for a cable in and out to the TV. As I stated earlier, the connection to the cabel connection on the tv is already taken from the DVD. My VHS has no other connections.
Any assistance you can render would truly be appreciated.
I think that you cannot copy video to DVD player directly, and you need a transfer station - a PC.
You can transfer your old VHS tapes to PC and then transfer it from PC to DVD player. This will need you to connect the DVD player to the PC, if you don't know how to do that, you can check this article for help.
Guide: How to Connect DVD Player to Laptop with HDMI and USB
First let me say that a dvd player and a dvd recorder are different. the dvd player can only play dvd while a dvd recorder can both play and record dvd that is said. what i understand from what you write is currently is - out of your tv box into your dvd player then out of your player into your tv........ ok some dvd has two connections. line one and line two if your tv box is in line one then you should plug the rca cable in line two in. then you select line two on the dvd player then plug the other end to your vcr in line out so that is out of your vcr into line two of your dvd player.(some times one of the connection is at the front of your player hidden) if your dvd player only have one connection then you would have to plug out your tv box and replace it with the vcr cable and when you finish coping your vhs tape you plug in back your tv box to your dvd player. hope i could help..........
