My grandparents had one of those. The DVD player worked perfectly fine, but the VCR wasn't working well at all. It would eject tapes after only playing for like 5 or 6 seconds, and it would sometimes eat them. It's a very common problem with Funai-made VCRs like this one.
Thanks for this video - very helpful - but when I hit "setup" - it is not allowing me to access DVD options - that is not highlighted and I cannot get to that to finalize the videos - what can I do????
I bought one of these units for the VCR, as mine broke and as it didn't have the remote, it cost me o ly £2.50. Anyway even though it plays videos and the sounds is OK, the screen's like a snow storm and you can only see the picture if you press fast forward, which was so annoying, but as the DVD player works brilliantly and much better then my existing one, specially if you use the built in DVD's stop, the disc I'm watching starts playing exactly at the point you stopped it, which is brilliant, but I'm still looking for a remote for this particular unit, because I need one to tune it, as it has built in Freeview and wondering how much a remote is!
I put a tape in, then fast forwarded the tape to the end, then after rewinding it, I let it play to the end, so it would automatically rewind and then after it ejected itself, I played the tape and there was no snow storm!
Is this connected to that tv via hdmi or component cables? I tried playing a tape in mine that I just got and the unit just shuts off when I try to play a tape
I bought this VCR player so I can capture with Hauppauge PVR. Your video makes it look like the VHS side of this player has really good video quality. I bought this item Like New and seller listed it as most likely not played much because everything was still wrapped up and it's in mint shape. Even came with original box. However it cost me a pretty penny. Around 327 usd after taxes. I own VHS players right now but have been dissatisfied with the video quality on them. I had a Panasonic that had great picture quality but when I opened it up one day to clean it ended up not working anymore. I even followed a cleaning guide and I have no idea why it died. And then I have a RCA and Sharp VCR play that both have so so video quality. The RCA is okay but the Sharp one looks a little washed out in the colors. I hope I notice an improvement in video quality with this. Also is there any real benefit to using s-video with VHS capture devices or is it pointless because VHS is an analog source. Every time I buy an electronic device that is listed Like New or was barely used they usually work flawlessly. I bought my Panasonic LX-900 Revision 1995 for around 313 including taxes off ebay years ago and it came with orignal box. That Laserdisc player is insane and performs great. Biggest problem I have with that LD Player is that for some odd reason it cuts off about 5-10 percent of the right side of screen. I do not know why Panasonic did this. If it's just a defect or not but the Panasonic LX-900 is still considered Panasonic's best Laserdisc player and the picture quality on it is pretty good.
I have Toshiba vcr only. I can’t get the vcr menu saying SLP play etc on tv to turn off. I don’t have the controller for it. Anybody know if there’s a way to turn it off without the controller?
Hey wondering if anyone can help, got a Toshiba video plus. Vcr and DVD. Problem is audio works on both but can't get video to work/nothing on tv. Cords fine so thinking it's the digital out port?
I have the Toshiba DVR630KC Is it a different version of this one ? Also, i need a remote control for my DVR630KC... does the SE-R0295 remote will work with my DVR630KC
I want to use a unit like this to transfer VHS home videos via HDMI capture, my problem is every unit i've seen reformats the VCR tapes to fit new tvs (wide screen), cutting off the top and bottom, rather than leaving it full frame. Do you know if there's an option to leave the VCR in its intended viewing format?
@@electrrics4902 no, i got lucky and found a sony unit with hdmi out at a flea market. Though it seems that every unit (that i've ever seen) that upscales to HD stretches the video to fit 1920 x 1080 instead of leaving it native, but i figured out that after you capture the footage you just stretch it back to normal in an editing program and it fixes it.
I recently purchased a Samsung TV (model # CU7000U) and connected my Toshiba DVR620KU recorder, and while the DVD's play normally, unfortunately the Video tapes do not, as all I see when I try and play a VHS tape is a blue screen. Do you believe my problem is an incompatibility with this particular TV and the DVD/VCR recorder,? All the VCR function buttons work as intended (forward and rewind, play and eject), therefore can you suggest how I can get my Video tapes to play. Although I do intend to convert them to DVD's, but before then must make sure the Video player is fully functioning.
I am not sure. Your unit should be able to play VHS through HDMI. I have had other units (different brands/model) with HDMI, which still had to be connected via composite cable to view VHS, so try that.
@@pasttimetech Many thanks for replying to my question that I have with your guidance now have resolved by carefully rereading the manual and clicking on many buttons. My only problem now is that I have a number of UK DVD's that refuse to play in this Toshiba CVR620UK, something about being the the wrong region, but unfortunately don't believe there is a fix for this.

You are correct... It is difficult to go back and forth between the unit and the remote, because the focus shifting will become more distracting than my rambling. LOL However, on more advance remote functions I do need to find a way. Thanks for the feedback.
I just found a new one as well at goodwill for $16.00. What a coincidence. Came in the original box, wrapped in plastic, with a remote, manual and RCA cables. I thought someone just did a good job of repacking it. I have hundreds of VHS tapes I want to archive. 👍
I have got one, but without a remote and I'm having difficulty in finding one!
I got this same model today at a garage sale for 30 bucks. No remote. Hopefully it works!!

I get an E25 when I'm trying to transfer would using DVD RWs make a huge difference
i new the vhs picture would be great before it came up on the tv this is a great machine
Just picked one up with the remote and cables for free!
Always take what is free. That's my motto.
damm
It loads a blank Memorex DVD-R but when I hit dubbing it always gives me a red circle and line and won’t record
I have one of these units but beware the fan venting system on the DVD side can accumulate dust on the VCR side and it may not work normal again.
Some of these units need to be dusted out with compressed air every so often.
Is this connected to that tv via hdmi or component cables? I tried playing a tape in mine that I just got and the unit just shuts off when I try to play a tape
I have this i but the vcr doesn't work and all the repair places are gone. But the dvd still spins.
How do you get the VCR to play over HDMI. I can only get DVD to play over HDMI and VCR over composite.

Most VCRs you need a remote for menu functions. For a Toshiba, you can find a universal remote in most stores which will be compatible.
I just got this player. But why does the vhs switch to dvd while playing a tape?

yep

How can you watch TV though the vcr/dvd?
This unit does not have a digital tuner, still analog.

Totally benal
Couldn’t follow him
I thing I get better in my more recent videos were I script out some of it.
I just found a brand new one for $12.99 at goodwill 🥲

Searching eBay. A lot more. Offered $135 on bid of new but no remote. Opted out.
