cables, rca, coax, etc (recording to and from vhs)

solconnection

I found an old vhs player in storage and i want to use it to record some parts to old tapes, playing said recordings on the vhs player and then recording the output back in to logic/ableton.

the trouble is the i/o options are fairly limited on the vhs player.

Input : coax (pic of an antenna next to it)
Output1 : scart (unmarked)
Output2 : coax (says 'tv' next to it)

Im pretty sure i could find a scart to rca adapter but im wondering if anyone has experience going rca -> coax/antenna input.?

thanks for your help
-Dan

what about one of those old playstation scart connectors that had just the scart connector with red white and yellow rca connections on it?

wouldn't that work?

if i hadn't thrown out my old vhs i'd have tested my theory for you

here's a diagram to show you the bits used

can't find a pic of the scart thing i was talking about

thanks matey Smile

that looks like it will do the trick nicely Smile

at least for the output from the vcr....still have trouble getting it in (no scart input, only rf coax)...i need an rf modulator apparently.
