I have a satellite hook up. I have two vcr's and I'm trying to record some personal movies (no copyright stuff here--jsut stuff I recorded on blank tape earlier). The Vcr's are plugged in, the proper cables are used and the color-coded jacks are in the propper places--yet the recording vcr does nothing but record static? I think it might be bad cables, but in my gut AI don't believe it. Any ideas??
Satellite cable into box, box cable into playing vcr, playing vcr antenna cable into tv. Color coded dubbing cables (brand new) in place going into recording VCr.
On the recording VCR make certain you have selected the input that corresponds to the jacks to which the cables coming from the source VCR are attached.
