I got a new entertainment center today, and the delivery guys took all my TV stuff apart... Trying to hook it back up, I can't get a clear picture when I go through my VCR/DVD recorder. The way I have it hooked up is wall to cable box, cable box to vcr/dvd recorder, vcr/dvd recorder to tv... and the picture's all fuzzy. When I bypass the vcr/dvd recorder, I get a PERFECT picture. Now everything worked fine before it was disconnected... just a few hours ago. I went and bought new coaxial cables, I've tried using the RF cable that came with the vcr/dvd recorder. If it helps, my TV is a Sony Trinitron KV-36XBR400 and the DVD/Video Cassette Recorder with HDD is an Emerson EWH100F. I have tried to call my cable company and they tell me to bypass my DVD/VCR until they can send someone out to look at it... which is a week... HELP!!

Just to make sure I'm reading this right
(WALL) -> (CABLE BOX) -> (RECORDER) -> (TV)
The order is correct, for it wouldn't work in any other way.
As for the fuzzyness, it must be some setting on the recorder, try changeing it to channel 3 or something, and change the channels on your tv.

Make sure the dvd/vcr is set to TV and not any other setting. Most of those things need to be on channel 3 or 4 to get a clear pic through it also.

you must walk through every cable that you had hooked up, start from Scratch, make sure you have all of the cables hooked to the correct order and in right sequence. Also make sure it is set for the correct channel through the VCR/DVD recorder

It's practically impossible to answer this question without knowing what you have for components, especially the TV. Most newer TVs accept multiple inputs. If yours does, see what the outputs are on your components (VCR, cable box, anything else?) and see how they match up to the inputs on your TV. Then, you would use the menu on your TV to choose which input you want to display.

its not your appliances.
ready?
its your cable
one of those cable is bad.
its not the one going to the cable box.
so its either the on to the tv, or the one to the dvd
test them one at a time bypassing to dvd
you will find the culprit.
just replace that one cable
also if you want superior audio and video connect using rca cables (red white and yellow)
thats what a pro does

Maybe the connection is weak. Try wiggling it.
