New member Username: PinedawayMemphis, TN USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-05 | It seems like you would just need a Video/Audio selector box with a coax input. I have a Philips Audio/Video selector with RF Modulator set up like this: Coax Input ----> TV Input 1 -------> DVD Player Input 2 -------> DirecTV box Input 3 -------> My computer's sound card Input 4 -------> Nothing Output --------> Speaker system and I have my PS2 plugged into the RCA jacks on my TV. I could have put it on input 4 but then I couldn't listen to music on my computer through my surround sound. As far as hooking it up to your Dish Network receiver...not so sure...maybe have that as your output and hook your speakers in to the receiver? Not sure if that was any help at all  Good Luck pinedAway |

New member Username: NettiePost Number: 5 Registered: Feb-05 | But will I be able to watch tv on one channel while recording another channel? And where does the Sima CT2 GoDvd box hook up at? Would input 2 be my Dish network receiver hookup? I am soooo confused! Thanx so much for helping me! |

New member Username: PinedawayMemphis, TN USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Jan-05 | Well, I'll have to admit I'm a bit stumped and none of this may be of any help, but here are my thoughts The biggest thing I'm not getting is how you would watch one channel while recording another - Can you or have you been able to do this before? As far as I know about your receiver, only one channel can be received at a time. I'm pretty sure what you want from that can't be done (Well they do make receivers with two satellite inputs, but yours isn't one of em) Now, for hooking everything up..... My thinking is it would be a helluva lot more convienent if your audio/video selector had a coax output for your TV, but.....let's see You want your satellite receiver and VCR to be inputs into your DVD Recorder so you can record straight from those.... I may try this with your Audio Video Selector: Video Out ---> Input on Sima GoDVD box ---> then have the output on the Sima GoDVD box go to DVD Video In Audio Out ---> Audio In on stereo Input 1 ---> A/V outputs on Dish Network Input 2 ---> A/V outputs on VCR Input 3 ---> PS2 Then plug your TV into the coax output on your DVD Player In theory it would seem as though pressing Input 1, Input 2, or Input 3 on your Audio Video selector would output the selected device through your GoDvd box and then to your DVD Player - which in turn will be outputting to your TV. And the sound from those 3 devices would output to your stereo....but hmmmm...how will your DVD output to your stereo....arrrrggg! I'll think about it some more and keep ya posted - let me know if that makes any sense at all, because I'm bored and delerious at 4:00 a.m. |

New member Username: PinedawayMemphis, TN USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Jan-05 | hehe I was just kidding I was just trying to think of the most unrealistic and useless thing to do with your home theater and for some reason plugging wires into my dog came to mind lol I'd imagine that site would answer just about anyone's questions about hooking their equipment up- maybe that's why you get no feedback -- it is just too damn informative! It kept me up until about 4 in the morning last night and I have all my equipment hooked up just fine, I just found it fascinating hehe |

Unregistered guest | Just got a Phillips Auto Audio/Video Selector w/RF modulator. Plugged the Red/Yellow/White cables from PS2 into Selector 1; Black/White cable from VHS player into Selector 2; Red/Yellow/White cable from Game Cube into Selector 3. Cable goes from outside directly into the Phillips component; TV cable also goes directly into Phillips component. Only TV works. What am I doing wrong? |

New member Username: BaydoMcKenna, WA USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Mar-05 | arnie (dirtfarmer) I niavely wired my theater room with only a HDMI cable before they sheetrocked it. Do you know of a device or switch box to connect a DVD Player (DVI connection), HD Dish receiver (DVI connection), computer and video camera (both S Video), and a component video device all to a front projector using the one HDMI cable? |

Unregistered guest | I have a old tv that I am trying to hook up a dvd recorder to it...the tv only has one input for a cable type...I understand I probably need a rf modulator?....what I would like to know is what is the hook up sequence..I have satellite tv right now, going into a vcr..then going into the tv. It works fine that way, however the dvd recorder (apex) says it cannot be hooked up thru a vcr for there will be distortion in the picture....I did try it and yes there are waves and distortion...so in what sequence would everything be hooked up if I get the rf modulator...? equipment: satellite, old tv, vcr and APEX dvd recorder. I also can play a dvd player by simply hooking it up with the red white and yellow cables thru the vcr and it will play well..again keep in mind the tv has only ONE input..it is old old old. If it is possible, could anyone email me with the sequence of what goes into what-information before I completely destroy the whole set up...thanks |

Unregistered guest | Arnie sorry to have to repeat myself but you left the door open by saying I could post again...I have been to the links you supplied and read and read and some of it sinks in..some doesnt..so I will ask you again and hope you have the patience to help me out.....here is what I want to do..hook up a older tv (I know I will have to use the rf modulator) but if you could tell me the sequence of what goes into what... old tv rf modulator dvd RECORDER vcr direct tv satellite box and will I need to purchase any cables for the additional hook up to the modulator? If the vcr is a problem I can eliminate it..but would like to keep it for I still have a lot of vhs movies. I successfully hooked up a dvd recorder to a newer tv and satellite box but without a vcr...and I know this will be similar but just enough different that I am lost. And out of curiosity...when I am reading the other posts...in hooking up the dvd recorder, can it be treated in the same way as a dvd player? |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 593 Registered: May-04 | joann hi no problem as you know you have to use a rf modulator for a older tv when you try to connect a dvd player or recorder only ok with a rf modulator you connect it the center, it like this, dvd connect to re mod with the 3 video audio cable the one red white and yellow yellow is video, red and white are audio so you connect the dvd to rf mod useing the cable, now that was in the first put, as you know older tv did not have video audeo plug, all ther had was coxail, so you now have to attach a coxail cable to the rf mod to tv that how you get a new dvd to work on a old tv set you also have the option of useing a splitter for coxial cable, but as you know coxail is the least favorable now day to use, i would use the video audio cable if i could i take it the older tv has only coxial plug on back, and the cable came from cable box useing a coxail cable vcr have a rf mod inside but dvd do not coonect the cable to the dvd via the coxial plug on back of dvd now for vcr on back ther should be the audio video cable connect out put of vcr cia the 2 a v cable to input on dvd some perople may have a differnt way to do it, and it would be easy, if it was not for teh rf mod and older t v |

Anonymous | Hello: I have a Zenith Sentry 20" tv. The TV has only 1-video and 1-audio A/V in the back. I connect my Sharp VCR thru coaxial and it works fine. I want to connect via A/V, but cannot make this work. The user manual says, change the TV to the highest channel, this is the AUX channel and this should work. I have tried it but it doesn't work. Please advise. It's an older TV Romero |

Polly Unregistered guest | I have not been able to get the DVD to work with Charter Cable. It did with Dish. Charter needs TV to be on channel 4, DVD will only play on channel 3. I tried moving the switch in the back, but it still does not work. Also when it did record with Dish and I played it on another machine the CC did not show up. Any suggestions? |

|
Polly Unregistered guest | I started it to get the menu and it now will not play on the TV on either channel. The disc turns and then "ROOT" shows on the DVD display and it does nothing more. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything and it still does that. Am I just not connecting it properly? Thanks. |
|
Polly Unregistered guest | I got it to work by changing the input on the TV menu to VCR, but then the cable won't play. I did add channel 4 to the DVD. So the DVD is still not talking to the cable box. Now what do I need to do? Thanks. |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 610 Registered: May-04 | Polly i glad you found out about the tv/video mode, i forgot about that one to view cable or vcr tape, you do not have to change mode, but dvd are differnt on a lot of tv you have to change mode to get dvd to show a menu at start up even when ther no dvd cd in machine to view cable you would have to change video mode again i know it a pain, you have to change it for dvd and back again to cable ok a dvd player with not be able to record any thing it only a player to record you need a dvd recorder, just a point of info make sure dvd player is off when you try to view cable, some dvd player went on cause other thing not to work |
|
Polly Unregistered guest | Thanks Arnie. Yes, I do have a DVD recorder, but I'm assuming if I have to change the TV to VCR option that if I record, I will only get static. I haven't tried it, just assuming it would work that way. |
|
Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 611 Registered: May-04 | Polly yes you will get only static as i did when i try in my example upabove on til i told dvd player to find all chanel, once that was done it record fom sateliite to vcr, before that all i got by like you said static, even when dvd player work and satelite work but not together seem you have the same problem all you can do is set it up on the menu in dvd player, and use the tv/video mode button on tv remote to player dvd, the main thing geting the dvd to see all the chaennel you have as that was my problem, once i set it up use search for all chaneel and it enter tmen in to memory, it record, i bet you have the same problem more or less |

Polly Unregistered guest | OK thanks, I'll try that. |

Mini Unregistered guest | I have an old SONY TV which I want to connect to my new Pioneer DVD recorder. The TV has a coaxial cable connection the old type, meaning it is not a screw-on, but a push-in type, while the DVD recorder has a screw-on type of coaxial cable connection. Is it possible to connect in such a case and are such cables available? i could use the 3-individual cable connection, but that does not help in recording what you receive through the cable receiver. Any suggestion? Mini |

Deanna Unregistered guest | I have an old Emerson TV which I want to connect to a sony DVD player. The TV only has a coaxial cable connection and the DVD player only has RCA. The VCR has a coaxial and RCA. How do I hook these up? |
