Hi everybody,
My DVD player died, and I plan to purchase a DVD recorder so I can dub many of my recorded VHS tapes that are starting to degrade.
My plans are to eventually replace the 27" Durabrand TV in the den with a color console set from the 60's or 70's.
I remember having trouble watching some VHS tapes on my '75 Quasar - the picture would bend at the top of the screen. From what I understand, I should not have picture quality problems if I run a DVD player through an RF modulator. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, although I have a Philips VCR that I'm quite happy with, I am thinking about buying a VCR/DVD recorder combo to avoid those picture quality issues.
Is there any particular brand I should avoid? I haven't heard anything one way or the other on the quality of these combo units.
Thanks,
Ryan
