Default VCR to Bravia 4K TV?

I hope this is the right board to post this question on, and forgive me if it's a dumb question.

I recently bought a Bravia 4k UR3 TV, and ridiculous though it may seem, I'm hoping to find a way to hook up a VCR to it.

My TV doesn't have the inputs for the cables that go with my VCR (which are the basic 3.5mm RCA cables), but it does have a single "Video In" jack. According to the Sony website, what I need is a 3.5 mm conversion cable that will plug into the TV's video in jack on one end, and receive the VCR's cables on the other.

Here's a link in case I'm not explaining it well.

Anyway, looking for this cable is proving a little more complicated than I'd expected. Sony of course recommends their own, and says that they can't guarantee any other brands will work, but it seems as though they no longer make one.

Most of what I'm finding online seems to be of the cheap, generic variety. I'm fine with cheap, but I also want something that will actually work, and many of the reviews I'm reading for conversion cables on Best Buy and Amazon don't instill much confidence.

So I guess my question boils down to this:

1. Is this the most efficient way to hook up my VCR to my TV?
2. If not, what's a better way? (The less complicated the better!)
3. If this is the best way, is there any particular brand or type of conversion cable I should be looking for that is of higher quality than most of the super cheap stuff I'm seeing online?

I'd super appreciate any guidance!
