Well I own this unit and I have to say that it really does an excellent upconverting job over HDMI for both VHS and DVD. VHS is inherantly crappy, but this dual recorder does an excellent job of upconverting the video.. The recording capabilities from VHS to DVD and/or external device to DVD is very simple to do and pretty good. I even have my Archos with camera attached and can record live directly onto DVD, pretty nifty stuff.

Hi, I was looking to get one of these for the sole reason that I've wired my plasma with YPrPb from an RGsB switcher that outputs to an RGsB to YPrPb converter. The prerequisite of course is that all signals from all playback devices (Sky, Freeview, DVD etc) must be RGsB (which they all are via the Scart). All of the currently available combo and standalone VCR units output the VCR signal as composite. We have some very rare VHS that is not available on DVD,plus old home recordings and have been unable to watch them because of this. I dont want to have to switch the scart switcher and the plasma input selection just to see a composite signal so an upconverter sounds like the solution.
