I purchased this unit primarily because we have a lot of old VHS tapes, and I wanted to have the option of viewing them occasionally. Unfortunately, connectivity on this unit is so poor, it will not work.I was planning to use this with my wall-mounted flat-panel plasma. I have HDMI, component, and coax running through the wall, so I did not anticipate any problems. WRONG. the VCR won't output a signal on any of those. It will only output through the "line out" audio and video (3 RCA jacks). I can't even hook it up by coax cable. The unit has a coax connector, but it is only for digital sound, not video.I can't even use this unit with one of my older TVs! They only take a coax connection.This is a bad design! Why not let the VCR output through HDMI or component? ...Or at least give the option of a COAX output!
