Hey guys! I hope someone can help here because I'm totally at a loss here. Here's what I've got...

DirectTV
Zenith TV (with only "ANT IN")
VCR
DVD

I was able to get everything running until I tried to add the DVD to the mix... my plan was to plug the dvd into the VCR 3 plug (yellow, red, white) into the front connectors on the VCR...i even tried the back matching connectors on the VCR, and they didn't work either. I was able to get this really faint image that was kind of moving strangely across the screen, but that's about it...

what am i doing wrong? do i need an adaptor or something.

any advice would great great!
Thanks!

hey, thanks...i don't even care if i can record dvds...i just want to be able to use the dvd player, but my TV is so old, all it's got is the ANT IN plug...which seems to make connecting everything a little questionable. based on that solution, it seems as though we i should have audio, and no video. I tend to get no audio and, quite literally, no DVD...just a VERY light (like 5%...if that)...a light ghost, of the video.

do you think that's still the problem? Like i said, I don't even care if i plug in the the VCR. it just seemed liked it was something i needed to do.
