Goodwill or Craigslist THIS - it's THE reason I keep a couple on hand even though I have no VHS collection or tapes left ? RF input, even have a splitter to select between several classic systems before going into the VCR tuner, output to composite on a tiny 14' color TV LOOKS GREAT ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Make sure you check to see if the VCR as stereo RCA outputs. Many of the late cheapo VCRs only had mono RCA output. Even if the console you are hooking up is mono with a mono VCR via RCA the sound will only come out of one speaker.
