Video Asylum

Posted by danyaras@yahoo.com (A) on February 15, 2004 at 13:58:17

Just got a DVD player and hooked it up. I also have a VCR hooked up to the same TV. If I want to dub, say, some home video/photos my brother sent me that he'd burned to DVD to a video tape, does anyone know how I would hook that up?

Here's the current configuration:

Line comes in from dish to SAT box via COAX IN.

COAX OUT on SAT Box goes to VCR COAX IN.

VCR COAX OUT goes to TV COAX IN

Now, separate from that little chain...

DVD RCA RED (RIGHT) and WHITE (LEFT) goes to TV RCA IN RED/WHITE
AND
DVD S-VIDEO OUT goes to TV S-VIDEO.

I have extra cables of various and sundry types (RCA, COAX RG-6, RCA dubbing cables, A/B COAX switch box) in my collection to work with, so that's not a problem.

Here are the connections I have on each piece of equipment (some are in use as above, so these are *NOT* in addition to what's in use above):

SATellite Box:
SAT IN COAX
VHF (COAX)/UHR IN
RCA AUDIO OUT (RED/WHITE), VIDEO OUT (YELLOW)
S-VIDEO
VHS (SAT)/UHF OUT (COAX)

VCR:
RCA LINE 1 IN: AUDIO (RED/WHITE), VIDEO (YELLOW)
COAX IN
RCA LINE OUT: AUDIO (RED/WHITE), VIDEO (YELLOW)
COAX OUT

DVD:
AUDIO OUT: COAX, RCA WHITE/RED
VIDEO OUT: RCA, S-VIDEO
P-Scan Component VIDEO OUT: (RCA) Y/Pb/Pr (GREEN/BLUE/RED)

TV:
S-VIDEO
COAX IN
AUDIO OUT: (RCA) RED/WHITE
AUDIO IN: (RCA) RED/WHITE
VIDEO IN: RCA YELLOW

I'd really appreciate any advice on this...

Thanks!
