Are older TV / VCR Combos Analog or digital?

Question

I have a sylvania 13 inch tv/vcr combo, rumor is that these combos or vcr's push digital or change signals to digital

Answer 1

If it was manufactured before 2007 it almost certainly only has an analog tuner. If it was manufactured after 3/2007 it has a digital tuner built into it.

TVs with digital tuners always have a setting in their menu systems to scan for digital channels. If you can't find a way to scan for digital channels, then it only has an analog tuner.

>rumor is that these combos or vcr's push digital or change signals to digital

This makes no sense. Even if the TV/VCR has a digital tuner, a digital signal has to be converted inside the TV to an analog one to either record it on the VCR or display it on a CRT.

Answer 2

It's possible the vcr tuner is digital.  But you will only be able to tell by having cable hooked up to it or waiting until next Feb's conversion.
