The vcr has to receive a signal from either the tv video and audio outs, or it must be connected to the cable! The second method is the best because you can set the recorder to a channel and record it and watch something else on the tv! All you need is a cable splitter and a small section of cable coax! Less than 10 bucks!

No, I don't think that will work at all. Do u have the VCR Manual? Maybe u could do a web-search on the manufacturers name or go to consumer reports & find a link for ur specific VCR.

even as you're in AV2 mode on the television and also you position a VCR tape, are you able to word it? (i imagine, you record, yet you've the television interior the incorrect enter port). So it really is what you do. bypass to the VCR and set it to Ch 12. are you able to word CH 12 on television? If not, verify you would possibly want to observe Ch 12 on the VCR interior the direction of the television. (set ch 12 on the VCR, set the television in Ch 3). If positive, positioned a tape, press record. Did the pink effortless bypass on? record a million-2 min. provide up, REwind, PLAY. if you're able to not see your recording now, there might want to nicely be some difficulty incorrect with the VCR.

Connect them with the 3 smaller cables. The ones labeled left, right, and video. Output jacks on tv, input jacks on vcr.
