Not long ago, it seemed like DVD-VCR combos were hopelessly outdated. But this powerhouse of technology, which plays and records both DVDs and videotapes, is still going strong. Sales of DVD-only players alone are expected to grow, not shrink, over the next few years by as much as $31 million. And while VCRs don’t really catch the attention of mark...
Buying a DVD-VCR combo can be tricky because no new models have been manufactured since 2016, when Funai, the last company to build these devices, ceased production. It’s still possible to buy a new, unused one from a seller who has warehoused a few units, but most likely you’ll be buying an aftermarket model.
Media decks
The two “decks,” or input slots, are a DVD slot and a VHS slot. Each is sized for the media that will be inserted, so it’s tough to mistake one for the other. VCR: On the VCR side, a VHS cassette, once inserted, slides into an aluminum cassette housing that holds the cassette in place as it’s lowered into position. A stationary magnetic head reads the tape as it spools past. DVD: On the DVD side, a similar process occurs, but the reader is an optical sensor that uses a laser to read binary en...
Controls
On older models, the controls including Stop, Play, Reverse, and Fast Forward are prominently displayed on the front of the device. A few models have separate playback controls under each deck, while others have a single interface and a toggle to switch between players. Newer high-end models have a sleek, simple design, and most of the controls are located on the remote control. Record: This feature is the one that requires close attention when comparing models. Each DVD-VCR combo model has a...
Improving the final media
Dolby sound: DVD-VCR combos made closer to the 2016 end-of-manufacture date feature higher-end sound quality on playback, including Dolby surround sound. HD upscaling:This high-end feature bumps up the quality of video of older DVDs from 720p to 1080p. Progressive scan: This technology helps produce a stable, flicker-free video image. It’s essential in HD upscaling.
Programmable remote
The purpose of a multifunction infrared remote controlis to reduce the number of remotes required to run your various devices. It can also take the place of a lost remote control.
VHS tapes
While VHS tapes haven’t been manufactured since 2008, blank VHS tapes are still available through resellers.
DVD-R discs
Recordable DVDs are a core archival resource with an average lifespan of more than 30 years. It’s worth keeping a package of DVD-R discs near your DVD-VCR combo.
Inexpensive
DVD-VCR combos are a diminishing resource, so expect to pay between $347 and $409 for a used but working model with lower resolution and fewer features.
Mid-range
You’ll find more features in devices in the $420 to $599 range, including HD upscaling and progressive scan, plenty of A/V ports, and more.
Expensive
Refurbished units and VCR-to-DVD recording capabilities command top prices of $610 to $979.
Position your DVD-VCR combo on a shelf.This saves valuable floor space and reduces the dust that can get into the compartments of the device.
Q. Are DVD and VCR players obsolete?
A.Online streaming and cloud storage are hastening the demise of DVD players, and VCRs have been obsolete for many years. However, these reliable recording media aren’t completely dead because they can handle so many video formats that were plentiful and easy to find for decades.
Q. What can I do with an old DVD-VCR player?
A.If the DVD-VCR player still works but you want an updated model, consider donating the combo player to a charity that accepts household items. You’ll get a nice tax deduction at the end of the year. If the device doesn’t work, contact the nearest drop-off recycling center to safely dispose of the components, many of which are bad for the environment. Plenty of hobbyists are interested in dissecting nonworking DVD-VCR combos, so ask around before sending an old model to the scrap heap.
Q. What are the benefits of a DVD-VCR combo recorder?
A.The biggest benefit, especially of a two-way recorder (one that records from DVD to VHS, and vice versa) is that video can be stored in either format. This is helpful for people who might only have a VCR but want to watch digital home videos. For those who want to preserve family videos on a longer-lasting format like DVDs, being able to record from one to the other is very desirable.

Beane enlists the services of Yale economics graduate Peter Brand (Hill) to devise an unorthodox player selection system based on a sophisticated statistical analysis of each player's skills. As Billy and Peter start to build their team based on computer-generated data rather than the traditional scouting methods, they meet with resistance from old hands such as team manager Art Howe (Hoffman).
