Most DVD players and movies are equipped with copy protection (Macrovision, I believe it's called). This prevents you from recording the DVD material. So, your VCR is not able to pick up a consistent signal, as you noted. All very normal.So, short of your suggestions of a new TV or HT receiver/pre-amp, you could use the coax cable connection to view the VCR playback and use the RCA (analog) inputs for the DVD player.
