If the cable box has RCA outputs, connect it the same way, if not use coax. You will have to select the input you used for cable recording too. Connect the coax out of the box straight to the modulator if the box has RCAs, if not connect to the recorder and the recorder to the modulator. I'd suggest just using the DVD recorder for recording, not the VCR. DVDs are cheaper than VHS and the picture quality is far better. With your TV it would be easier to not have both set up for recording. |

Unregistered guest | I have a Comcast DVR and I'm trying to hook up a DVD Recorder and VHS. I'm having problems getting the DVD Recorder to work. A big problem is with the DVR from Comcast, there is only one spot to put the cable in from wall. There isn't an output. I have already spent hours and hours and still cannot figure it out. Has anyone run into this problem with the Comcast DVR??? |

New member Username: LramponeBradenton, FL USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | Hi. Going crazy trying to hook up my HD Ready TV with cable HDDVR to new DVDR/VCR combo we just bought. Cable guy had used component cables (r, bl, gr) between the cable dvr and tv. How do I put the dvdr/vcr combo in between the box and tv? According to all diagrams I have seen, I don't see any extra component cables used. And can't find how to use s-video cables either. I have two s-video cables and only one set of component cables. Please help... and can you also email to lrampone@tampabay.rr.com? Thanks! |

New member Username: JoanieWarminster, PA USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Sep-05 | RCA cables they are the red/white/yellow cables? I have done that it only lets me record off my tv. I don't know what A/v 1 or A/v 2 are they the connections either front or back? when I connect the cable do the cables go in the dvd input or output? |
