I used to have an Ilo dvd recorder hooked up to my Emerson dvd/vhs combo and dish network box all hooked up and copied tapes and dvd's. But the Ilo is crap, and messed up. So I just bought an RCA DRC8040N dvd recorder and hooked it up the same as I had the other but it won't record. I put a tape in the combo, it won't show on the tv. So I'm thinking it has to be hooked up different. I also have Sima CT-2, that one's easy to figure out, only two cables. Can anyone help? Please
