K Armer | Can anyone tell me if my new TV says it isn't set up for a progressive DVD player (not HDTV) will a progressive DVD player work on the TV anyway? ALSO, will my cable connection connect to the DVD player the way my VHS does? AND is it possible to piggyback the DVD to the VHS to the TV? Thanks for your help. Karen |

Derek | If you use S-Video or composite, you are not using the progressive part of the player. Progressive in only possible with DVI and Component connections. Connecting a progressive scan DVD player to a non-progressive TV (via component) will work as long as the DVD player is set to interlaced. You CAN connect a DVD player through a VCR but Macronovision copy-protection on most DVDs will cause the VCR to darken and pulse the picture. It would be simpler to get an A/V switch from Radio Shack or www.partsexpress.com. Cable cannot connect to a DVD player. The DVD player doesn't have and RF inputs of outputs. Hope that helps. |

K Armer | Well can you connect the cable to the VHS player then the VHS to the DVD player then to the TV? My problem is that right now our cable goes to the VHS player then out to TV. Can it be done or do I just plug and unplug the DVD to the tv each time I want to use it? Is there a way around it? Thanks! Karen |

Derek | It sounds like you TV does not have direct A/V inputs. Have a look at this http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F010%5F009%5F000&product%5Fid=15%2D2525. With it you can have the VCR and DVD player connected to your TV in stereo. |
