Questions & Answers

A composite or S-video input or an RCA (composite) are available on this VCR What video output do you have?

You can get RCA Composite for free.

I have a direct tv box, so I would like to connect this box to it. Unlike a DVR, this device does not record. Do you only want to record 1 program each day, ?

It is true. As far as Direct TV is concerned, I have no knowledge of the set up. As per my experience with Cable TV, it may be best to install the VCR between your Direct TV box and your TV and follow the user manual for the VCR.

Where can I get a vcr that I can use with my HP computer to digitally record tapes? Easycap is the product I am going to use to interface with the chosen VCR & HP, correct?

Thanks for your question, I appreciate it very much. As far as I can tell, any VCR will work as long as it has a port for audio (which they all have). You asked a very good question, and I tried to answer it as best as I could! I am thankful for your help, Carly

Selected User Reviews For Sony SLV-N71 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR

The item is marketed as being in good condition
3/5

A lie from start to finish. These tapes were bought for a homebound elderly couple who are in need of a replacement for their vhs tapes, as they do not own a computer. VCRs have become increasingly rare due to their age, so I knew trying to purchase a working one would be difficult. Listed as working, this item was said to be in good condition. I ruined a VHS tape just trying to get the machine to work at all, and it came shipped with the outer cover halfway off. There was a remote that wouldn't work with it and an outer cover that wasn't attached. It was necessary for me to disassemble the machine in order to remove the tape since it had not been in working order previously. My expectation of a refund for the machine is not high, since the seller knew the machine did not work. It was a very disappointing purchase for me. Having been an Amazon customer for a long time, this is the first time I've experienced a false advertising situation. I feel like the item was falsely advertised and the seller knew it wasn't Even though you got me for the money, I hope you are happy with how you turned out. My sincerest thanks go out to you.

It seems that everything is going well
4/5

Basically, I bought the product in order to copy my VCR tapes onto DVDs. Upon purchasing this, I really had no idea it was the exact same one I already possess. The second one I wanted didn't need to be hooked up to the TV, just to my recording device. Since there were no instructions with it, it worked out just fine since I already knew how to work them. I am just getting started with it, so I am hopeful it will continue to work correctly. Even if it could have used some dusting off prior to shipping, I was impressed by how well it was packaged in the box with bubble wrap and double boxing. Everything seems to be going well so far.

Once I had the tape out, the machine seemed to work again, but it did not. Sorry, but I'm very.

Exceptionally well done This device is easy to hook up and use
5/5

For the first time, I have written a review for anything I purchased on Amazon

But, I wanted to write this review because if you are like me and you still watch analog television and VHS movies, this is the easiest VCR to purchase and connect. I took the VCR out of the packaging, plugged it into my coaxial F plug on my old television set, which by the way is the only plug I can use to attach a VCR to the TV set, and I was able to start watching the movies immediately. You will not have any problems, no hassles, no need to read the entire manual just so you know how to hook up the VCR. The VCR was a great piece of equipment that worked right out of the box, and I would recommend this to anyone that wants a VCR

I have to admit that if you have cable, you can still connect it. With this VCR you can connect both RCA and coaxial cables, or just your standard old-fashion coaxial F connector. Essentially all you have to do is hook this up to your VCR and to your TV and it is just that simple. In our opinion, the Sony VCR is the easiest to use vcr on the market today, it is heavy and is not made of plastic, and it is very simple to use. This is a no nonsense, no frills type of book. Choosing a more advanced style is the best way to ensure you get a better result. It should be noted that if you are very picky, you need a new model instead of this VCR. Unlike a lot of VCRs, this one is an older model and is made with solid construction, but nothing fancy, something I prefer.

There is a reason why this works
4/5

This thing actually worked, regardless of whether it seems impossible. It's great to have a tape feed. There are no problems with the quality of the pictures. You can rewind and fast forward without any problems. A pretty good score for an ancient outpost It was a pleasant surprise to see the date machine.

Converting to digital is so much easier with this product! My remote, as well as the device, worked right out of the box
5/5

In the process of digitizing old VHS tapes dating all the way back to the mid-80s, I've come across some tapes that date back 30 years. This Elgato VCR makes it simple to watch your favorite movies on the go. Thank you very much for helping me complete a project that I have put off for years. I feel like I'm taken back in time by it. Thank you very much for your help!.

There's a problem with the VCR
3/5

I returned the first VCR because it didn't work. It was not made clear to them that I needed a replacement according to Amazon's guidelines. I received the replacement after waiting for weeks. I have also received credit for my purchase and have received a replacement unit free of charge. Recently, they confirmed that the last unit was working without any issues.

In case you hate to read manuals, this may be the VCR for you
5/5

As a novice electronic user, I decided to replace my old VCR when it continued to mess up tapes with some other brand I found more reliable. Since a DVD is not yet a replacement for a VCR in its entirety, I decided to get a DVD player instead. In conclusion, I bought a Sony based upon its reputation, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best. Your hard work has paid off! What sets it apart from other cameras is how easy it is to operate. It has superb picture quality, but what makes it stand out is just how easy it is to use. The instruction manual here is so simple and easy to understand that if you, like me, hate reading complex instructions, you'll love it. In a matter of minutes, anyone can learn how to use the controls. In the pre- VCRs have never been easier to use when it comes to starting recordings. In a neat feature, the VCR sets its own clock by detecting the signal it receives when it is connected to As a resident of an area that is prone to frequent power outages, this is one of the most important benefits. The price is right at this level, so there's no need to look elsewhere.
