- *The cable name at 2:30 is called a coaxial cable
Go to 2:20 for how to do it
I hate when people talk for 5 days and don’t show anything so here you go. This is the REAL way to do it without any other stupid stuff you don’t need!
I show you how to connect a VHS to SMART TV in the easiest way! (SUPER EASY) - Навчання та стиль
Crazy, I searched all over, and the young guy whom didn't know the term for a coaxial cable was THE MOST HELPFUL. All these older guys being blah-blah and not showing shit. Heh. Thanks, guy.
Hahaha Your welcome!
RyanIsNerdy got that Right this kid try to be super technical it's just simple Plug & Play
Same bro.
2 questions. It's this digital in for the tv? (Or analog)
Can you drop a/v (white red yellow cable) to hdmi to Tv???
@@CrowRanaBurger hello whats da name of the wire u connect it with?
You are awesome I am an older generation it is great to see the younger generation to still enjoy older electronic. You have a great sense of humor thank you
You're right, learning these technical things are easy. My father used to say, 'Nothings hard to learn how to do..its just a matter of having good information'.
Thanks for making it simple ! We are so sick of tutorials that are so complicated! Anyhow you’re funny and I am glad you’re such a big help!
you made my day... you are so funny... my VHS plays, but all fuzzy... on a large insignia... I have a very large collection of VHS and don't want to give them up. I will try the setup antenna, stay cool
Obsolete or not to me nothing beats going to sleep with a nice 6- or 8-hour VHS tape running all night long as you sleep with movies, sporting events nonstop. Beats waking up every hour and a having to turn off some movie on new technology!!
I love how theres just a buncha old people here while me a 13 year old kid is just tryna watch the rescuers on my old vcr i used to use
Enzo! Thank you! This was so very helpful!!! And you are very entertaining as well!
Patricia Youker Your welcome!
Gratitude and thanks for this video. It helped so much. I was so close, yet so far away, lol. Your step guide helped me get mine up and running. 🙏🏼❤️
Now i can watch the 1970 version of the Phantom of the opera…like a fancy young 2008 70’s kid
Omg thank you so much! Now way in hell I could've figured this out otherwise, and you're hilarious too!
Amanda Watts Your welcome!
Yeah, i figured that was what i was gonna have to do. My mom wanted me to hook up her VCR to her smart tv. She would never be able to figure out how to watch her tapes. I told her just use voice control. Good video. Its kind of fun to figure that shit out if you're an A/V geek
2:20 here’s to lazy people
That will come in handy
Awesome, thank you so much 😊
Super cool. But if I want to record over the air can I just screw in my screwy cable from my antenna to the in and then use the coaxal out to my smart TV, since the VCR catches the signal from the antenna???? I don't want a million cords either and this was most helpful cause I was ready to spend all this dough just so I could record a game from ota.
So I’m using the 3 connections, it works, the white cord with channel 4 works too, only thing is when I press play, both ways get static-y. I don’t see anything and I don’t hear anything. Any suggestions? I’ve tried different VHS’s too, that wasn’t the problem.
You're a pretty cool kid, thanks.
Hi because those red white and yellow are not on a Roku Smart Tv what kind of adapter would I go with I haven’t gotten the smart tv yet but it probably will be a RCA or Emerson ROKU TV
Thanks. That really helped.
Michael Gawlik Your welcome!
That was so helpful and so simple..thank u so much for a no BS basic approach to do this unthinkable task..
Oh & don't forget to REWIND !!!! ur tapes hehehehe
Does the Rocky V poster (I was actually an extra in that movie) REALLY belong above the Jaws poster? Dude you've got whacked priorities lol ...no seriously bro thanks for the video- won't know if it works til I go get the coaxial...but my particular vhs player also has a built in DVD recorder will that work the same way as a regular VHS player ?
Gary Johnson i have the other Rocky posters around my room but couldn’t see them in the video
I have a vcr on the way i hope it works for my Roku smart tv
Thank you for this, will try it. You're funny too haha. Can I use this method to record from a smart tv onto a blank vhs?
Thank you. I don;t know but you can try it and see if it works
SANDWHICH TWIST TIES HELPS
And here it is, 2022, and not only am I grateful to the young man who created this video, but I am grateful for the fact that when I decided to try and find a video that could help me hook-up my early-90’s VCR, THIS was the first one I viewed. It’s working just fine and I’m enjoying some old, VHS-format tapes that I started collecting in the late 1980’s. I’m feeling very lucky right now - THANK YOU.
Thank you, lad. You did a good thing. Now we got our VHS hooked to smart TV. I have a whole pile of movies to watch this winter.
I can't thank you enough. I finally found some old VHS tapes of my father. (He died in 2005) It was good hearing his voice again.
Ok I have a TCL ROKU SMART TV AND GOT RID OF CABLE JUST KEEP WIFI SND THERE DVR BOX, I plugged in a good antenna and now I want to connect my vcr/DVR player but can’t put it on back of tv, but on the DVR from cable it has the screw in. Are the both male ends on the wire?
Enzo - you're the MAN!! I had a VCR that I haven't used since I got my Samsung. Even though I'm technologically challenged I was able to do it. You ROCK!!!! And, I agree with so many folks here, that you are hilarious. You need to do more of these since you would have a great fan base ;-)
Thank you! Im glad I helped
This young man is a genius. Works like a dream. Thank you!!!
I tried for an hour with the av cables and kept getting a weak signal. Your solution is just that and it worked the first time. My nephew and nieces can now watch all of my old Disney VHS tapes on a new tv. Thank you!
Hey🤓 thank you so much, i have a Samsung Smart Tv.
I had the same experience as you described. “Why is this so complicated?”
Luckily, your Video popped up 1st on You Tube, and after following your instructions, i went into Menu, went into broadcast and Clicked on Antenna and it had two options, Air or Cable.
When i clicked on Cable, it worked!!!
We have Success, now we can watch our VHS tapes.
You took all our Frustration out of our Day, and made us feel Victory!
Thank you for making this Video.🥰
"It took me 5 days".... Omg thought I was the only one roflol Thanks from Brazil
Thank you!! I had the VCR connected to the TV using the coaxial cable (that white wire thing you had to screw in) but my problem was I needed to scan for the Channel and select ANTENNA. Mine asked me to choose between AIR and CABLE. I tried both until one worked! I was ready to give up until I saw your video! Great stuff buddy!!!
Wow here I am in my thirties and this guy helped me figure this shit out. Thank you kind soul 😅
Loved the way u explained it...sometimes u don’t have to be technical...Thank You Very Much! 👍🏻
Thank you this was a great help! I have old home movies I want to watch, some I will convert to DVD eventually but hey if the record player can come back why not vcr? I had no idea and thought I needed to hook in the red yellow and white cables.. so glad I found out not necessary!! Thank you
VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION. Make sure coaxial cable is connected to Ant. OUT to the HD TV set....then on the tv remote control press 03....and Voila....problem solved...no need to set up anything from the tv menu.
I can’t stress enough how “life saving” (dramatic I know) this video is…tried a million different things…looked on line for hours/days…and finally found your video. Followed your simple directions and “ta da” we are now able to watch the videos of my daughter’s first 5 years. Thank you! Side note…I knew when I saw the Rocky poster that you were the guy!
Hi folks. I have a problem. I bought myself a video player for Christmas. I have a problem. I can't get it to work. My television does not have red, yellow and white connections. it has a red and two blues so I assumed if I put the red in the others go in the other one's. I then still could not get it to work so I tried the second method connecting the wall antenna to back of video player then to television. The television is picking up the television channels but it is still not getting any vision or audio from the video player. Any advice please from anyone here would be appreciated. Maybe someone has encountered the same problem ? Thanks .
YOU ARE awesomeness!! Thank you!!! U cute too... heart ❤
So can you or anyone on here tell me how to record from my VCR to my flat screen please? I cant figure it out. Thank you.
🕊#MsWarriorSaint
The cable you are referring to: is called a COAXIAL CABLE.
You are really good…it worked exactly as you said. Thank you
Thank you!!! It actually works better than the composite video cable!!
Omg!!! Thank you sooo much!! Ours is a flat tv not smart and all we had to do was scan the antenna and channel 4 popped up after scan! Yea!
Hey Enzo , thanks mate that was rockin . we thought we could just use the old red white and yellow cords , now we know to get get a coaxial cable
Thanks for the video. I never thought of using a s-video cable instead of the rca cables to connect my vcr to my old hdtv. Just tryed it and i think the picture is slightly better than using the coloured plugs.
This maybe a silly question but would having the both different types of cables connected at the same time improve the picture?
WOW! I feel so stupid. I sent for one of those converters. Didn't work!!!! Surprise.....Anyway, I watched your video and hooked it right up. I have had the stuff to do it all along, I just didn't think it would work. Thank you for such a simple yet effective video. :)
So did I!!
I can't believe this kid!! I've been on UA-cam for days trying to figure out how to connect my vcr up! I got a new Vizio and for the life of me could not figure it out. He was the most intelligent one so far!!! Everybody else just confused me more.
Thank You!
Same for me too
Thank you so much!
You have made my day.
bud, I connected my cable, snug and tight, switched to TV mode, hit play....nothing. The screen says "no signal". Any suggestions? Thanks
BTW I have a Vizio smart TV and a VCR, Im trying to connect
vince Scan for channel 3 or 4 please
Okay so it's the coax cable I need. Thank you kind sir.
Thank u so much for making this video. Your exactly right on and presentation was clear, direction straight to it. Im 65 and I was able to do this by myself with your help.
Thank you !!!! You helped me soooo much!!! I was about to go crazy trying to figure this out!!!! Thanks again you saved me alot of money and time!!!!👍🏽👍🏽💯💪🏾
Wow, thanks that actually worked!! I kept unplugging, changing the cables, etc. I never dreamed it would be something INSIDE my tv that was part of the menu. THANKS!!
If you want to know something ask a teenager 😂 you're the best thanks.
I just found this now and I needed it, believe it or not!! THANK YOU!!!
C r o w r a n a burger I can't tell if you're if your 12 17 25 I mean what how old are you
Thanks bud, I got mine to work. I thought it was just audio video wires. Been to long since I used this piece.
The best way is to get a relatively not old, like 2007 dvd and vhs combo and just use rca cables if your tv has them. Most super new ones only have component. I tried 4 different converters from 11 to 35 dollars with no luck. Found a dvd/vcr combo at a garage sale for like 5 dollars and that's all I needed, works like the day I recorded it in the 80's
I had no idea you could use just the coaxial cord. Even growing up I always used those colored cords red white and yellow. Thanks!
I could not figure this out for the life of me! Thank you so much, it worked immediately!
Thanks for this. I get to watch home videos from the 90s again. Means a lot.
Haven't tried your simple solution yet, but I'm hopeful that this will work :) Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THE ONLY GOOD VIDEO ON UA-cam ON HOW TO DO IT! 😃😃😃😃😃
If I could like this a million times I would!!! This video saved my life, thank you so much!!!!!!
Thanks dude. You saved a 50year oldie a lot of hassle
Okay so it turned on but its scratchie what can i do to fix that and ive tried both od my vcrs
Amazing! I was struggled with that for 2 days and try to find out which component/composite/some other weird cable should fit and I all i needed is the antenna cable and search for the right channel...
Thank you very much! you saved my life :)
Thank you! That did the trick. So easy yet not so easy.
My vcr I have the sound to the tape but not the picture on the tv
I had to wait, until grandpa had bought me a new coaxial cable for my aunt's VCR/DVD combo player. I plugged the coax cord to my TV, but there's one problem: my aunt's VCR/DVD combo player has no coaxial port to plug in to; just RCA cables, which brings me to my next problem. RCA cables are a no-go for me, because when I plugged it in with that method, there's a hybrid green-yellow port to plug in to. Though it still works, it will have no video, and thus it will not display the picture, and will only show the 'No Signal' text.
Of course, I could plug the VCR/DVD combo player to the TV, going from RCA cables to HDMI, but there's a third problem. My TV only has two HDMI ports, and both of them are used for my DirecTV receiver (I used to have a Dish Joey, which short circuited), and my PS4 console, and I'm at a huge dilemma. As such, your video on how to plug a VCR to a smart TV did not work for me, which gave me a very good reason to dislike your video. I'm sorry, but the designs of both my TV and my aunt's VCR/DVD combo player are what prevented me from watching VHS tapes, at all.
Help. I'm using rabbit ears on my Samsung tv and the screw on connector is being used with the rabbit ears. Can I still connect my VCR because I don't want to keep disconnecting the rabbit ears and the VCR
Thank you so much....it worked. I had it hooked up right but I never could figure out how to get it to work and find the channel it would play on. Now I can watch all the tapes I have recorded of my favorite shows over the years plus my home movies!! Thanks again!!!
Hey there! I got a new LD non-smart TV that seems to hate both my VCRs. Tried to connect them through composite, those wires were tested on my DVD just before testing them on both VCRs and the TV wouldn't get any signal from any of my VCRs even through both my VCRs and this new TV have composite connections. Because the composite connection works just fine on my DVD player and both VCRs had the same answer, I figured out this TV might not hate these VCRs. I bought an SCART-HDMI converter which solved the problem and my VCR is finally playable on this new TV.
I had smart TVs before since 2017 but I never had this problem with my VCR. For those who want to criticise me for keeping them, I have 50 or more old VHS tapes that I grew up with and for NO reason I would throw them away!
Thank you for this video was best one on youtube simple and straight to the point
Took a lot effort to try the mini converter, it didn't work. Then saw your video and did the same. It works! All I needed was a piece of coaxial cable, which I had a plenty. Now is 2020, three years after you made the video. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! This video saved my day.
Found this video after spending an afternoon trying all combinations of the red, white and yellow plugs. His technique worked! Thank you!
Dude, I watched a bunch of videos on how to set up my old VCR/ DVD player to my smart tv. I don’t have the red, white and yellow ports on my tv. Your video was the only one that helped me. Thanks, it works great!
We can watch vcrs but can’t record? We have antenna-no cable
This doesn't work for my new smart tv
This definitely works thank you
Dude thank you!!! You helped me so much
Can you transfer a show from the smart tv to a vhs tape
Thank you so helpful. Got it working in 5 mins
Thanks so much. Your info was way more helpful than Best Buy, who tried to sell me a fifty-nine dollar converter. We bought the cord you recommended for $1.49 at Good Will. Works great !!! Thanks again !!!
No problem
what are the cord called, l cant see all that well. can l get them in england.
@@melody9665 it's a coax lead Wilco sell them
You saved our bacon! God bless you!!!
Thank you for the video! Got my VHS to work!!!
Thanks for the video! Helped me avoid a bunch of initial wrong steps. My issue ended up being that I needed to push some random buttons on the VCR remote (tv/vcr and input) to get it to work.
It's called coax and dude you make me feel old not knowing what this stuff is. Hilarious
Just set my vhs player on my new 65" Sony flatscreen. -It accompanies my All region Blu ray player and my Playstation 5 console. The quality of my videos playback is phenomenal.
Thank you for putting in the missing piec of the puzzle, which was connecting the T.V. on the right channel, and syncing for a smart T.V. This helped a lot!
Shit has got so confusing with all the UBS port bullshit and HDMI smart TV's having no old connections, and I'm an old fart now so I actually didn't remember IF a simple old coaxial cable worked for both audio & video. Haha. I'm a old dumbass. I figured it did. If you got a Super VHS (or especially any old standard VHS player for that matter), using a upscaler to 1080p is awesome on a 4k smart TV. Really makes the picture all that much better.
Thanks for this video. It was simple and to the point and the perfect title for a search.
Ok I have a question see I’m severely autistic and don’t understand how to hook my VCR up to my HD Tv I have a Viz10 tv and A Samsung VCR\DVD player and believe I’ve been trying since yesterday and I’ve even asked my friends to help me can you help me out
I'm surprised that you have a TV that still has a coaxial cable connector. the top coaxial connector is cable or antenna in for anyone wondering. You could also connect the VCR to the TV with the RCA cables as well.
Thank you for uploading this video. I bought a vcr yesterday and couldn’t get it to hook up to my tv. I tried everything before looking up what else to try and I saw this video first, clicked it and it worked. So thank you for helping me watch some of my childhood videos that I loved. ♥️
My WiFi went down and I hate sleeping without background sound
Appreciate your " realness" in your video. I was a teenager when VHS's, first came to be. So, yes , I am old(er) & things were definitely less complicated. Anyway, I have been trying to hook up VCR to Smart TV. I have the screw in cc ables. BUT.. I have no internet.. I SHOULD be able to still use JUST VCR.. but it's not working...! Getting frustrated, I'm not stupid but this has me questioning that..
You just helped me fufill a 15 yr search! I was able to find a vhs of a movie I've been looking for 15 yrs. an old horror film called Rumplestiltskin for my dad for fathers day. Wanted to surprise him. Thanks to you his wait to see one of his favorite movies is complete. Thank you!
