How to install a dvd player to a cable box and tv how to#
PLEASE HELP! I just bought an Emerson DVD recorder, and the instructions on how to hook up to multiple components is very lacking. Posted on Saturday, Decem17:59 GMTI have the same question as jjcck from earlier:
How to install a dvd player to a cable box and tv tv#
With this setup I can record onto DVD, record on VCR and watch TV all at the same time as well as any combination therein. This allows me to watch a DVD (or something recorded from TV onto DVD) with sound either coming through the TV or through the home theatre. RCA L/R audio output jacks from DVD to L/R audio input jacks on TV, RCA video output jack from DVD to video input jack on TV, Digital optical audio cable from DVD to home theatre. Via a cable splitter, split the cable from the wall and put it into the DVD recorder. This allows me to watch something on the VCR with sound either coming from the TV or going through the home theatre.Ģ. coax cable from wall into VCR, cable out from VCR to TV, RCA L/R audio output jacks from VCR connected to RCA input jacks on Home theatre). Posted on Tuesday, Novem18:47 GMTJust thought I would let you know that I got my DVD Recorder, VCR, and TV hooked up successfully to do what I wanted (see 1st post above). Hope that this gives you a little insight. box, dvd, vcr) each have a separate input into your tv. Now, changing sources of what you want to watch will be controlled by your tv's remote, as each component (st. box has a second 'video out' (the primary one is going to your tv) if it does, you might be able to connect it into the vcr's video input. If you plan to record with the vcr, your tv may have a 'monitor out' output that lets you connect a yellow rca-type cable into your vcr's "video in". The audio connections will be the same to the tv (red/white).įrom the vcr to the tv, your best bet is to use composite cables (yellow, red, white) to the tv in the 'video3' input, or something similar.
Or, for a better picture, use an s-video or even component cables (if your dvd player has the outputs for them) to your tv. With this, you can connect composite cables (yellow for video, red/white for audio) to the tv. Your dvd player's audio and video will connect to your tv's 'video2' inputs or something similar. box would likely go into your 'video1' input on the back of your tv. If your tv is like most, you should have several inputs, like 'video1', 'video2', etc. For audio, if you do not have a surround system, stereo cables (rca-type, red/white) will go into the audio inputs of your tv. Since yours is an hdtv, the best connections will be either component cables (red, blue, green) or even a DVI cable (looks like it belongs with a computer). Posted on Wednesday, Novem16:05 GMTIf you picture the setup as a pyramid (I'm a 'visual' type learner), your hdtv is the top of the pyramid, with the vcr, dvd, and sat. Of course, this is all in theory, but hopefully will work. The same method could be used for the dvd's audio to tv and receiver. If not, and this works well: split each stereo plug (radioshack style adapter) to two paths: one red rca from the vcr will be split into two red rca's (one for tv, one for receiver), and the white rca from the vcr will be split into two white rca's (one for the tv and one for the receiver). If tv has outputs, send the signal to the surround receiver. to watch something other than what's being recorded.Īudio-wise, you could connect vcr to tv, dvd to tv (if tv has enough inputs). The same for the dvd: if you're recording on the dvd, switch inputs on the tv to 'tv' or input2, dvd, etc. If you're recording on the vcr, switch the input on your tv to 'tv'. You could connect to the tv via rca, s-vid, etc., if not coax cable. If you want separate tuning from the dvd, what if you used a 3way splitter from the coax line before you get to the vcr? That way one cable would go to the vcr, then tv, and the other would go to the dvd.
Your coax cable from the wall can go into the vcr and out to tv.
