How do you hook up your cable TV so that you can record one thing on the VCR and watch something else?

Answer 1

I would have to show you

Answer 2

There are a couple of ways
Cable in from wall to splitter then one to VCR and one to cable box then from the cable box to the TV. The VCR has RCA outputs that you can use to hook up to the TV's RCA inputs. Should be an input for Left/right speakers and one for Video.
The other way is to get another cable box and supply both the VCR and the TV with their own signal to copy/disply, then you would need to hook both up to the TV using alternate inputs like AUX and so forth.

Answer 3

Cable -> VCR -> TV

If Your VCR Has a Tuner it should be able to record one channel, while passing the Cable channel through to the TV

You'll just need to press the TV/VCR Button on the VCR.

Answer 4

I think if you set the CHANNEL on the VCR to the station you want to record it will record that, and you can change the TV to any station you want...at least that is how mine works.

You need to first make sure that the cable is going into your VCR and then you need one of those "short runners" which runs to the TV. They sell those short coaxials for like 2-3 dollars down at the local what ever store....I mean they are more if you get longer ones... you can make them yourself as well if you get the connector ends and some straight wire,,,,

Answer 6

It depends on if you have digital cable or not.
If you have digital cable, the box must decode it, unless the VCR has a cable card slot, and I doubt anyone put them on those antiques. If it is analog cable, you can use a splitter to divide the signal between two locations. But, if you have analog cable, and a TV and VCR that tune cable channels, you wouldn't need to rent a cable box

Answer 7

i think of in case you connect the cable from the wall to the VCR first, than yet another piece of coax to cable-in on the Comcast container, then yet another piece to the television( cable in from antenna/CATV - short for Cable television). If that may not artwork, i grow to be purely questioning, connect the coax coming from the VCR to the unmarried end of a splitter, then, utilizing 2 greater short products of coax, utilizing a million of the loose ends of the splitter, run 1piece of coax to the Comcast container & the different piece to the television. the only from the wall nonetheless is going on cable-in on the VCR.
