* Different technology: Digital TVs are designed to receive and display digital signals, while video tapes use an analog format.
* No built-in VHS player: Digital TVs do not have a built-in VHS player.
* External device needed: To watch video tapes on a digital TV, you need an external device like a VHS player or a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) that converts the analog signal from the tape into a digital signal that the TV can understand.
Here's what you can do:
1. Get a VHS player/VCR: Connect the VHS player/VCR to your TV using an RCA cable or an HDMI cable if the VCR has one.
2. Use a DVD recorder: Some DVD recorders have VHS playback functionality.
3. Convert your tapes to digital: You can digitize your VHS tapes by using a device that can capture the video and convert it to a digital format, like a USB video capture device or a service that offers video transfer.
