So, you can hookup your cable to your VCR, hookup your VCR to your TV w/ the cable. But then hookup your DVD player to a separate input in the back (or sometimes front) of the TV w/ the RCA cables. When you hit the ‘TV/Video’ button on the remote, it will change where it gets the picture and sound from.

———— Basic Setup

NOTE: You don’t want to send your DVD player thru your VCR b/c DVDs are encoded and won’t play right going thru a VCR.

Normally, you watch plain old TV tuned signal. Your signal comes in and your change channels on the TV. Hit the ‘TV/Video’ button and it will switch. If it goes to your VCR, you may see another channel (tuned by the VCR). Hit play on it and then you’ll see the tape. Hit the ‘TV/Video’ button again and it might go to the DVD player. Mess w/ it and see the picture and hear sound from it.

The TiVo and dvd-rec sound both go to the stereo for sound.
