do these work using component and composite.......

| 2 | Component uses 3 video signals (YUV) + audio left/right. Composite uses one signal (a debauchery) for video + audio left/right. Both standards use RCA connectors. Composite is vulgar and should be avoided. spyware - 2020-10-14 10:30:00 |
| 3 | Some TVs use the component Y signal (the GREEN one) for composite video in order to not implement a 2nd physical interface. If this is the case then only the green video interface should be used plus two audio. Need to make sure that one of the audios is not connected to component RED (which is unused in this composite configuration). Edited by spyware at 10:35 am, Wed 14 Oct spyware - 2020-10-14 10:34:00 |
| 4 | Component video leads are typically decent coaxial cable. Composite video lead is typically crap cable to match the low bandwidth crap going through it. spyware - 2020-10-14 10:36:00 |
| 5 | VHS usually only use composite. VHS looks much better on old CRT TV, true story. tygertung - 2020-10-14 12:55:00 |
| 6 | Not clear to me what you are asking; you want to get stereo sound from the VHS or DVD player to the TV? Or have DVD player and VHS connected up at same time and both stereo? A picture or model numbers works help us come up with the right cables. Is the TV a CRT or something? Not sure how old all this is but the unit linked to in the original post is composite (single Yellow RCA plug for video) so you would get poor quality video in return for stereo sound. I used to help friends and family a bit with AV which can get complex with old or mismatched gear. My quick guide of connection types from best to worst ( ignoring wireless, computer, and other oddball connectors): HDMI (1.4/2.0 etc.. newer is better) Edited by gblack at 7:45 pm, Wed 14 Oct gblack - 2020-10-14 19:45:00 |

Yes, I found this by experimenting. Only Yellow and White for the two output RCA connectors on the VCR to the older TV that has only the connectors for Component. The VCR Yellow output gives a picture in the Component Green socket on the TV and the White gives the Mono sound in whichever other color that worked with it for sound on the TV.

| 10 | My question is, because both the DVD (component connectors) and the VCR (composite connectors) work with the TV will a 3 Way Audio Video AV RCA Switch Box Splitter work for switching between the two? I can not see why not, but it is not my money that will be spent to pay for the splitter. Edited by olack at 11:16 am, Thu 15 Oct olack - 2020-10-15 11:15:00 |

| 12 | The TV is modern and pretty decent. HDMI. The DVD Recorder is also pretty good as far as they go. So still bit confused why anybody would be looking at a VHS component or composite cables. Who actually uses a VCR and why? Awful quality and worth about $1. Couple of years ago i dumped my last VHS recorder (a very good 4 head Samsung that was near the best VHS back in the day). Not trying to be rude, but unless there is a *really* good reason to keep the VHS player, my recommendation would be ; Dump the VHS player. The DVD recorder could be used to capture the VHS tapes to DVD or HDD, but for home content then might be better to get a pro service to copy the tapes to DVD or USB. Then connect the DVD player to the TV via HDMI and get the best possible quality digital video and audio Can't recommend mucking around with composite or component cables or adaptors. gblack - 2020-10-16 21:19:00 |

| 15 | Quality of old VHS recordings will be a shocker though. I know a few old timers who keep VHS as they had things like some movie recorded of TV years ago that they are meaning to get around to watching some day. If they have home movies or content then record to HDD/DVD or get a professional to make copies. If just old movies then maybe show them Netflix, Neon etc. I have a NAS Box with old videos but never watch them as too much good content on streaming these days gblack - 2020-10-19 07:41:00 |
| 16 | If all the recording was done on the VCR the sound will be in mono. Unless the signal is run thru an amplifier which can convert the signal to stereo all recording done by DVD will be in mono. The quality of VHS is 480 or less with older VCR's and will look shocking on a large(32") screen. The image can be "cleaned" using software but that costs big $$$$. cptdarling - 2020-10-19 10:55:00 |
| 17 | Thank you all. olack - 2021-03-10 11:06:00 |
| 18 | Regarding the mono audio output, you can add a second RCA plug in parallel at the output where it connects to the TV or DVD recorder to give you 2 channels of mono sound (I'm loath to describe this as stereo). This is easier than capturing mono sound into a capture card, demuxing the audio and video, changing the audio to 2 channels and remuxing it. gyrogearloose - 2021-03-10 12:34:00 |

Wrong, standard VHS was mono, stereo was an advancement that came later and only then became decent on some higher end machines, HiFi VHS. Edited by ronaldo8 at 5:51 pm, Wed 10 Mar ronaldo8 - 2021-03-10 17:51:00 |
| 21 | It says VHS hifi stereo has been out since 1984, so would have to have a pretty old machine for it not to have it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS tygertung - 2021-03-10 21:09:00 |

Your second mistake is in assuming therefore that in 1984 every manufacturer shifted their entire product line to the highest spec available. Edited by ronaldo8 at 12:59 am, Thu 11 Mar ronaldo8 - 2021-03-11 00:58:00 |
| 24 | Surely since at least the early 90s they would have all been stereo, and I don't think there would be many older decks than that lying around. tygertung - 2021-03-11 08:00:00 |
| 25 | Surely Shirley you can go look at the manual helpfully provided and see for yourself that the vcr in question is mono as was pointed out thtee posts back. Why you'd imagine that all models from all manufacturers would have the same feature set is beyond me. Hello? Earth to planet Zzzz ! ronaldo8 - 2021-03-11 13:15:00 |
| 26 | I have never seen a mono VHS before, every one I have ever seen since the early 90s has been stereo. tygertung - 2021-03-11 17:22:00 |
