Ok heres the deal. I have two of the same dvd/vcr combo devices. They are hooked up on two different tv's. Now here is the problem. When I want to watch a dvd or vhs, on one of them the screen turns dark, so dark that in dark sceens of some movies, you can't see what is going on. However, the other one works perfectly. So what is wrong with the one that turns dark when movies are played. Is it the connections or is it the device itself. Thanks.

The first thing to try is swapping the DVD/VCR players. Try the working one on the other TV and vice versa. This will tell you what is not working right - the DVD player or the TV.
If it's the DVD player, check the video output settings under the DVD players main menu. How to access the settings varies from DVD player to player so I can't help you with that. Otherwise, the cable running from the DVD player to the TV may be going bad. Try another, or try the one from your other DVD player.
If it's the TV, there are 2 things to check. Like the DVD player, you may have to adjust the video settings of the TV. If that doesn't help, the connectors on the TV may be going bad. To fix this, you will probably have to have the TV serviced. Check the warranty of the TV to see if the repair is still covered.

If I were you, I would take a look at the owner's maual for both the TVs and the VCR/DVD combo. There are often color correction settings that you can make to correct the problems you are talking about. Some TVs and some combo players are even nice enough that when you put in a certain type of media (tape or DVD or watch regular TV) it actually adjusts to a preset color correction scheme.
My TV has 3 settings, one for cable and broadcast TV that runs over coaxial cable, one for dvd players VCRs that run on component cable, and one setting for game systems. When I change these, the difference is huge, so I would recommend checking on it.

Nope, they merely provide you the alternative to play your previous VHS tapes once you've any left. Recording an previous VHS tape to DVD would properly be executed notwithstanding that is a exceptionally sophisticated computer hardware/software equipment.
