Best HDMI VCR for LP tapes?

[Master Tape]

I have a friend who is currently capturing videos, but he's having trouble playing cheap LP tapes on his Toshiba, they keep jumping and going squeaky. Is there any better brands and models that will handle them fine and play SP tapes nice aswell of course.

Has to be one that outputs HDMI due to his current setup, and a PAL model.

It's not just brand or model. Condition, condition, condition. Not when it was new but now.

Good luck

Better to split into a high-end S-VHS VCR and one of the recommended DVD-Recorder in pass through mode with HDMI output.

Squealing, jumping.. sounds like early stages of sticky shed to me. Solution for that would be to bake 'em not another pricy vcr. Then again i don't have the tapes in my hands , just some thoughts

SDI and HDMI can be losslessly converted to each other, so another option would be a professional TBC that has SDI output to then convert to HDMI using any number of products. More budget friendly option would be the DVD/HDD recorder passthrough method that others have mentioned. I think several of the Panasonic models can do it. The DMR-EZ series does allow for HDMI output from the VHS deck and has TBC like properties if it needs to be a single device.

If it really is making squealing noises in the machine, definitely could be sticky tape, or perhaps the case is just rubbing on the hubs as they turn.
