One VHS you will have macrovision problems this copy protestion for VHS. You need a small box to remove it www.facetvideo.com has one CompUSA sells Sima one. I have had two Sima boxs in the past one works great and the other one had tons of problems. Do not know how good the new ones are. If I was you I would buy a Laser Disc player from Ebay and get the THX face set. And get a Panasonic DVD recorder this is how I made my set. I even have the closed Caption subtitles. Or just get a set from some one else that made a DVD set. Forget about VHS.
