i have an older sony svhs player slv-r5uc that has --> line-in/monitor out/line-out <-- on the back and all with s-video/composite rca and l+r rca audio.there is also a line2 on the front for camera/game/etc with all the inputs like the others.
i also just put together my htpc with creative labs pc-dvd player and dxr3 card.
i want to use the vcr as the switching for cable/vhs/dvd.
i have the monitor out of the vcr going to the monitor in of the tv.
the only way i can get the dvd signal through the vcr is by using line2 on the front.
if i use line-in on the back the signal never gets out to the tv no matter what input i choose.
i dont want cables snaking out in front of the vcr to use line2.
any ideas as to what may be going on ?
thanks cuz im stymied.
Follow Ups:
You do know that using an old VCR as a video switcher will seriously degrade your video quality, right?
Especially if you have a DVD with component out, and instead use S video through the VCR.
It will likely reduce many of the benefits of using an HTPC.
Are you sure you want to do this? I would assume there are video cards for your computer that could do a better job.
Post your query either at www.avsforums.com or www.hometheaterforum.com and you may get more replies.dg
i used it for the monitor out from the vcr.the tv doesnt have component video only composite/f-connector/svideo.
as we have svhs tapes i was hoping to leave that cable in place but i guess i could always just switch-out the scable when we want to watch a dvd.
thanks for the urls.
