I just bought a new TV and cannot get everything hooked up. TV - Emerson PL-P42W-10A Cable Box - Motorola DCT6400 Phase III VCR/DVD Recorder Combo - ZV427MG9 A
We have tried several configurations between the 3 and cannot get the Combo to play. Any help you can give on connecting these three together would be appreciated.
Another thing, I don't know if it makes a difference or not,but for the Combo I only need to be able to play and record from VHS to CD (not record from TV).
1. Connect the HDMI out from the combo into one of the HDMI inputs on the TV. This is for DVD playback only.
2. Connect the composite video output on the "DVD/VCR" side of the terminals on the back of the combo (that would be the yellow video output and the two R/L red/white outputs for audio) into the corresponding inputs on the TV. This hookup is primarily for VHS tape playback. You would also be able to view DVDs through this hookup, but the video performance will be inferior compared to the combo's HDMI output.
Of key importance here is that you properly select the appropriate input on the TV, depending on what source you want to view. Consult your TV's owner's manual for that.
