Does a combo VHS/DVD recorder need to be connected to a tv to copy?

-Well it does help to know if you 'Cued' the right selection yet it can be done if its a start to finish go for it.....so No I think you could capture the video without a TV.Well it does help to know if you 'Cued' the right selection yet it can be done if its a start to finish go for it.....so No I think you could capture the video without a TV.No, it doesn't need to be connected to a TV to copy. Although having a TV connected makes it easy to make sure you've got the tape cued up right, verify the copy afterwards, and finalize the DVD when you're all finished.
