How can I use a VCR to play PS1 on a TV that doesn't have

Hook the component input into the vcr. Then, reroute the composite back out and into an HDMI upscaler converter. Then route that through an HDMI to component converter, then component to Rd and then out to your TV.

RF sorry

Just buy one of these.

Going through VCR's is finnicky as fuck and from my experience doesn't work too well.

You have to switch the video machine to the AV channel.

Can't you just plug the PS into the TV directly and tune it in though? I can't imagine a console sold in the 90's not having an RF output cable with it.

Most VCR's will have 1/2 composite inputs and one composite output, 1 coax input, and one coax output. First things first, make sure you've got the a/v cable from your playstation plugged into the correct input ports, and likewise that your coax cable is running from the correct output.

Second, use your tv's buttons to get to channel 3, and leave it there. Turning on your PS1 should display now.

It goes without saying that the VCR will need to be on as well. The VCR's channel shouldn't matter, but if nothing displays at first use the VCR's buttons to go below channel 2 or above channel 126, there may be an A/V 1 and an A/V 2 channel, try playing PS1 with the VCR set to those.

This is too much effort when I already have a TV with composite video and mono audio, it's just 5 inches smaller. The TV and VCR aren't even that old, both are from 2002 yet they have less inputs than a TV from 1998.

>>3659472
Could be a million things wrong. Is it safe to say the VCR is plugged in, turned on, so is the TV and it's tuned to the correct channel? If so you'll see the VCR screen on your TV and see video if you play a tape. If not. You're doing something wrong in the basics of the setup.

>>3659591
Yes, I played a tape to test it. It just isn't taking the signal from the PS2 and sending it to the TV through the coaxial cable.

I know that feel. My CRT is a piece of shit mono TV my parents bought in 2003.

>>3659472
Get a Consumer CRT. PVM's are fucking stupid.

My VCR doesn't really do different input/outputs. If you're inputting composite, you have to output composite.

Just k-k-k-k-k-kill yourself.

>say it's not worth it to spend an hour messing around with it and buying converters when I already have a TV with the inputs I need, it's just smaller
>whining

Just buy the PS1 RF adapter. I you live in America, use this:

Or, if you live in Europe, use this:

Well there's yer problem. You dun got the wrong console plugged it!
Literally...

>>3659472
You need to switch the VCR to the input channel. It's usually at the end or beginning of the channel rotation. You might need the remote to reach it, though. If so, then you're fucked. You can buy a universal remote, but if you buying stuff then it's a better idea just to get an RF modulator.

Then u got a shitty imagination.

I had to buy rf adapters for my shit in the day cause my shitty tv just had coax.
