Would anyone know if this unit features digital and/*OR* analog inputs for audio and video?

No analog. Nobody makes it that easy to transfer your old tapes to digital. Digital in and out is via USB using Play Memories software.

If you are asking if you can hook this up directly to your tv/dvd/vcr etc with RCA jacks, then yes.

yes, a cable which plugged into the RCA jacks (red, yellow, white) came with mine.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

It does both audio and video. At first, I had a small issue with them being in sync. That has cleared up since.

There are inputs for audio & video on the back of the chassis. It has "RCA" - type receptacles for both video and audio inputting.--MK

Yes, the unit has an optical input for surround sound, as well as a standard RCA input like you'd find on most TVs. Most likely, you can hook your box up to either input.

Yes it does. The component outputs are Y, Cb, Cr. It also has Composite video & S-Video along with SPDIF optical digital audio, SPDIF coaxial digital audio, RCA audio & HDMI output. I hope this helps you.

I think it will get both analog and digital, however we only have digital signals here so I can't be certain.

I reviewed the recording instructions and it states this unit will not record from an analog cable box. Cable is listed as an input option though.

Thanks Steve. So is it a fact that it's analog and not digital? Next time I'll stick to buying Sony.

The unit has both audio and video input and output so I would say yes. I sometime use it as a source to transfer DVD material to a new DVD

It Outputs on both analog & Digital, but only accepts one input.. So you could output component & HDMI if you really wanted to, but you can not have more then one input type at a time.

No, I don't think so. The manual says that digital input goes through digital output, and analog input goes through analog output.

Henry, my understanding is that the unit supports all Digital Audio formats but I have no tested that capability myself yet.

Yes, there are inputs for phone, tape, CD and video. This is without a doubt the best unit at this price.

I believe the unit has audio input but I don't use it as I don't have audio cameras.

The DacMagic has digital inputs but no digital outputs. You run stereo analog cables from its output into either a dedicated headphone amp or a set of corresponding inputs on your receiver.
