I have one of these tv/vcr combos hooked to my cable box and record movies onto vhs for shits and giggles…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRiZw4GRu2o
I have the same exact model! My father used to have it in his camper. My first TV was an '87 Emerson, and I still have both. Also, I do the same thing with my S-VHS deck!
