Can't record off TV?

Question

I have Comcast cable wiyh their cable box.
I haven't used the Panasonic DVD Recorder model # DMR-85H for 7 months and now forgot how to hook it up. I pulled all the patch cords out of receiver and recorder and started from scratch. BUT I can record from a vcr to hard drive of DVD Recorder, but for the life of me can't record off tv even switching the channels on recorder and the input of the tv of L1,L2 and L3. What could I have missed?

Answer 1

Cable Box Video Output to DVD Video Input (yellow)
Cable Box Left Audio Output to DVD Left Audio Input (white)
Cable Box Right Audio Output to DVD Right Audio Input (red)

DVD Video Output to TV Video Input (yellow)
DVD Left Audio Output to TV Left Audio Input (white)
DVD Right Audio Output to TV Right Audio Input (red)

Where TV Video and Audio Inputs are one trio of connectors assigned to L1, L2 or L3 input (don't mix and match between inputs).

Set DVD recorder source to the input used for the cable box hookup above

Answer 2

Dr.lack of existence is nice and the solutions I study lower than him were all incorrect. A change over to digital is in procedure and occurs in Feb 2009 for the U. S.. i trust Canada has similarities, yet i do no longer understand. Cable operators and satelite broadcasters can proceed with analog television for a at the same time as. i'm particular interior the destiny, there'll be no extra analog television, yet which will be something like 5 years or perhaps longer out into the destiny and that i'm positive many cable gadget operators do no longer actually have a plan yet for a change over... so in some international locations, it could be 10 yeas or perhaps longer.
