hooking up my new sony dvd recorder?

Question

I'm trying the best way to hook up my sansui vcr, sony recorder dvd to my soney tv with cable coming from the wall [ without cable box] so that everything will work out properly. Thanks, walter

Answer 1

VCR Line Out -> DVD Line IN (lets you record tapes to DVD)

DVD Line Out -> TV Line In (use S-video or component video, if possible) (lets you view DVD's with best video signal)

Cable -> DVD RF In (lets you record TV to DVD)

DVD RF Out -> VCR RF In (lets you record TV to tape)

VCR RF Out -> TV RF In (lets you view TV and tapes using RF out of VCR) (can view tapes through DVD, as well, if your RF out isn't too good)


DVD record: select channel for TV signal or
Video Input for tape copy

DVD play: select Video Input on TV

Tape Record: select channel for TV signal

Tape play: select channel 3 or 4 on TV (using RF) or
select Video Input on DVD AND Video Input on TV (using Video path)



Good Luck, Walter!
