In Reply to: How does the Toshiba get the "TV" signal? posted by Joe Murphy Jr on June 02, 2004 at 22:38:24:
The signal is from a cable company. I split it into 2 paths which feed a switcher. One of the paths has the cable channel selector box and the other is a direct feed.The path with the cable box feeds through one VCR (#2) to video 2.
The direct feed path feeds the TV input through the VCR (#1) that's attached to the stereo system. When everything was working right, I could tape a program with this VCR while watching another (using the TV tuner).
Thus, in total, I could be taping 2 programs and watching a third. Now, since I'm dependent on VCR #1 to provide the audio to the stereo, I can't watch a separate program.
I'll remove VCR #1 from the path to see if it's the VCR that's the problem. But if it is the problem, wouldn't that also prevent the audio from passing through it to the stereo system?
Follow Ups:
The VCR demodulates the incoming RF (cable) signal. Once "decoded" in the VCR, there are two output paths available: video and audio via the RCA outputs -- if you have an S-VHS deck, video can be output via the S-video connector -- and a modulated (combined) audio/video output via the coax (RF) output.
