Is a VCR player the same as a VHS player?

WHY WILL MY COMBINATION VCR / DVD PLAYER/RECORDER, PLAY DVDs FINE, BUT WILL ONLY PLAY THE SOUND ON VHS TAPES WITH NO PICTURE? I ALSO CANNOT RECORD FROM THE TV ONTO VHS TAPE OR THE DVD.

  • Answer:

    Have you set your source to "video"? To play VHS you have to set the TV "source" to "video" in order to see the picture on the TV.
