Today my VCR came in the mail. A JVC HR-S7800U (back of manual says the year 2000 on it). Got it on eBay from the original owner who used it for only a month. With that, *I think* I have all the hardware needed.
AVT 8710 TBC
ATI TV Wonder HD 600 USB
10 "donor" VHS tapes to use for both testing the vcr (and learning its features) and transferring my VHS-C tapes into
Blank VHS-C tape to crack open and familiarize myself with its parts and properly transfer the film into a VHS tape before I do this with my home movies.
However, I forgot one of the most important parts. The s-video hookup. My Panasonic TV (which I use as my pc monitor) doesn't have it
My brother's TV has it, but for some reason his TV won't work as a monitor for my PC (I read somewhere that certain TV's simply don't work as monitors for a/this PC. I think I even looked up his TV model # to clarify this). My mom's TV doesn't have it. My dad's TV has it, but it's one of those older/early flat screen models that were still kind of thick and heavy (I think he bought it in 2002). It's a Samsung, serial # B19V3CELA04312M.
I'm not gonna bother asking if there's any way around this with some sort of adapter, because I know it probably isn't true. So can anyone tell me which TV models (or monitor) are recommended? Thanks!!
