Hello, my name is Natalie! I have a modern Philips TV and an old NEC VHS tape recorder.
TV 43 inches, flat screen LED, approximately 2019. NEC N9034T video recorder, manufactured in 1987.
I will show you a very simple way to connect these 2 devices using an antenna cable. If you have forgotten how to do this, then there will be hints in this tutorial.

I have an LG GC990W stereo VCR, which they brought out in the 90's, still plays back tapes with pretty much the same quality as when I first got it, I recently upgraded to a Hisense 4K TV, which has a composite AV input in the form of a headphone jack type socket, so I had to get the special cable to plug in the VCR via the AV output, very happy with the video & audio quality, will keep on using it until the day it packs it in and stops working.

I had to buy a brand new TV a few months ago, and I looked for a model with an analog AV input of some sort. The model I got has an 3'5 TRRS composite AV input (with an RCA adapter), and my VCR looks great though it. And to record current TV programmes, I got a DVD-DVB combo unit plugged on the VCR (it has a couple of SCARTs, the other is plugged to the TV).

Nice clear instruction video, but using the RF connection like this isn’t ideal. It was the only option in the early days before TVs had A/V inputs. Sound will always be mono (even if the VCR is stereo) and you won’t get the best picture quality. Using the separate A/V output or a SCART connection if available will give better results, and stereo sound if the VCR supports it. And will be simpler to set up as there’s no need to tune the TV - just choose the A/V input.

@NatalieRetroStuff 2 ай бұрын

This Philips TV does not have A/V inputs for RCA cables. On my other TV (Xiaomi), I use AV connectors, since they are available there.

Can I ask, why do you like VCRs/VHS? I grew up in the 80s and don't get me wrong, it was great to rent videos and record films and TV programmes and re-watch them but the quality was never great. I fully embraced DVD when it came out as did most people. My mum still has a Sanyo VCR player from the mid 90s, it still works.

If your VCR and TV have SCART (21 pin) or phono (3 coax) connections, using those will give you stereo sound (if the VCR is stereo) and a slightly better picture, and you won't have to tune in the TV or find the analogue tuner in its menus, for the same amount of effort. (OK, three plugs instead of one, but they're usually colour-coded so hard to get wrong.)

The problem that I had when I connected a modern TV to a VCR was that when I wanted to search for a particular moment on the video by rewinding or fast forwarding during playback, the screen would go black and display the message "no sync detected" instead of showing the video at high speed, so it was impossible to know when to resume normal playback.

I still have a VHS player attached to my 32 inch LED TV via SCART cable (the VHS player in itself is rare in that it can decode and display subtitles for the deaf from VHS tapes displaying the "Q" symbol"). However, SCART was always an European thing (including here at the UK) and is dying out fast as modern TVs no longer have SCART inputs. Might still be possible to connect from SCART on player to RGB component on TV, though. And as others said, most modern TVs no longer have analogue tuning, the aerial is only used for picking up Freeview digital TV services (eg, BBC1, BBC 2, ITV, C4, C5, Dave, etc), again something I still use all the time as I don't subscribe to streaming services (I use my large DVD collection instead).

@@beryozinka05 if I'm understanding your comment correctly, you're saying that none of the VCRs featured in KZfaq videos have SCART sockets, right? Most of these videos come from the US, where SCART wasn't used. Simple as that. Scart was handy for "non technical people" (in most cases) because it only took one cord to handle video & audio, both in and out. For more complicated setups, it was a real pain in the backside. If your VCR only had one Scart, and you wanted to use it for both video/audio out, to a monitor/tv, and video/audio in from another device, you'd have to get busy with a soldering iron! I used to have to make up all kinds of cables with a scart on one end and various other connectors on the other. Having moved to the US, I certainly don't miss SCART connectors - if you know what you're doing, separate v/a in/out is a lot less bother!

@beryozinka05 2 ай бұрын

@@njm1971nycI wasn’t aware that SCART was only a European standard. My VCR doesn’t even have outputs other than SCART. I remember composite cables were used here before SCART

@@beryozinka05 Yeah, it was a French invention. European gear tended to use a lot of European connectors, such as DIN plugs, and Scart, of course. US/Japan was mostly RCA plugs (phono plugs, as we used to call them in the UK). There were exceptions, naturally. Older/better/professional gear tended to use BNC for composite video, RCA plugs (while technically not the correct impedance for video) were deemed acceptable for consumer gear. Wasn't really an issue for typical consumer set-ups.

Horrible picture qualitiy with the RF input. Oh my god. I suggest to use an RCA/Scart to HDMI adaptor. But forget the cheap onces directly. They are also not good and some of them stretch the 4:3 signal to 16:9. Looks horrible as well. Use a good adaptor, best with an build in upscaler. VCR is 240p only. A linedoubler can push it to 480p. This most TVs can accept on the HDMI input. Maybe costs 60$/€. They were made for old gaming consoles but also work with VCR/VCD/ Laserdisc and so on. There are also much more expensive devices but not many people will need them. They are made for broadcasters when they have to record there old video tapes to a digital format. But sometimes you can find used professional upscalers for small money.

RF is "240p"? Never heard such rubbish! Firstly, it's PAL, SECAM or NTSC, so it's interlaced, not progressive, and there's no fixed resolution for RF signals. That said, yes, RF should always be avoided unless it's literally the only option.
