lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,872 0 113 Oakridge, OR Mar 27, 2022 #2 Have you tried running the vcr into your avr? It has rca inputs (rca composite) that could accommodate a vcr (depends a bit on vcr's output options, are they composite or component video with separate audio? your Denon doesn't have component video inputs). You may have to change the input assignment to accommodate that input, but I don't see anything in the manual that would indicate it can't output the signal over hdmi....or can either, but I'd try that first. I don't know about any external devices that would particularly upconvert composite/component video to hdmi, tho....never looked for one, got rid of non-hdmi video a long time ago. Try this on composite video, has links to S-video and component video at the bottom https://www.lifewire.com/composite-video-the-basics-1846869 Reactions: DeepSeaDan

T Trebdp83 Audioholic Spartan Oct 27, 2009 5,805 0 36 Mar 27, 2022 #3 I don’t believe that Denon can convert an analog composite cable connection for HDMI output and I don’t think that TV has break out cable ports. Might try old school coaxial connection to TV Antenna/Cable IN from VCR and ARC or optical out the audio to the receiver. Worth a try if a coaxial cable is handy. Reactions: DeepSeaDan and lovinthehd

That was my first thought, but worth a try. Why does it have a composite video input then was my thought.....but didn't think of the coaxial thing, think my vcr had that as an option....

T Trebdp83 Audioholic Spartan Oct 27, 2009 5,805 0 36 Mar 27, 2022 #5 It has a composite output as well. It is necessary since it cannot convert the signal. Models that can convert the signal also include the composite output as some older gaming consoles cannot be converted to HDMI output. I found this to be the case when trying to convert the signal of my Pioneer Laser Active to HDMI using one of my old Denon receivers. Reactions: DeepSeaDan and lovinthehd

D DeepSeaDan Junior Audioholic Feb 29, 2008 62 0 8 Mar 27, 2022 #7 I've been looking at devices that are rca - to - hdmi 'boxes', some claiming to enable 1080p resolution on the tv. She mostly just wants to watch old family videos & make plans to convert them to digital format. Would those devices be suitable?

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,872 0 113 Oakridge, OR Mar 27, 2022 #8 Could be, got a link? Just what are your vcr's output options (make and model of gear is usually good enough)? I'd definitely do some research on such units in general first, hopefully find some meaningful user comments.

Some receivers and processors will convert analog inputs to HDMI, but many will not. The ones that will do this are increasingly few. If his receiver will not convert analog to HDMI, and his TV has no analog inputs, he is totally out of luck.

Yeah I just didn't see the composite out first time around....maybe a flagship unit might offer some upscaling, tho one of their lowest models not too likely. Be nice, tho for folks who still have a vcr

BMXTRIX Audioholic Warlord Sep 16, 2004 8,803 0 113 Mar 31, 2022 #14 There are several real world options which have been mentioned, but I believe only one actually works, and it makes sense... As linked by @DeepSeaDan, it is the composite video/analog audio to HDMI converter/scaler. It allows you to simply make the VCR another HDMI source into the system. It's cheap, it is quick, and easy. From looking online, it does not appear that the Denon converts from composite to HDMI (a cheap expense, but would have added to the price of the receiver). So, you would then need to connect composite video to the TV... Except, it doesn't appear that the LG C1 has any standard AV connectivity on it. Even though this online guide seems to indicate this is a 'standard' connection. Check your TV for an 'AV IN' (typically yellow) 3.5mm connection on the back of the TV. I expect all you will have is HDMI, USB, and toslink as well as a audio and RS232 connection on the back. No standard AV. If you DO have a standard AV connection, then this may be helpful and is an option that'll save you 20 bucks...
