I have a VCR and a video playback machine, and I cannot seem to solve the secret of playing my 8mm movies on the TV. I think I need to connect the 8mm to the VCR which is then connected to the TV (I have cable), but I have been able to get audio but no video. Whehn I hook the playback machine directly to the TV I get both, but i don't want to keep plugging and unplugging the plugs from one machine to the other. Ideas, please?
If your goal is to connect both devices to the TV (and you don't need to copy 8mm to the other VCR), then all you need is a video selector switch to manage the connection for you. You can read about them here: http://www.techlore.com/article/14220...
