I have the following equipment: Sony DVD Recorder RDR-GX255 Sony DVD/Home Theater System DAV-DX255 Sony WEGA TV KV-32FS120 Cox Digital Cable box
If anyone could help me connect all these items, I would appreciate it SO much! It would save me from throwing all of it (along with all the extra cables I thought I needed) out in my yard! Thanks so much for any help.
I'm sorry - I'm so LOW tech, but I do know it has the output with the 3 cables (red, yellow & white). Those cables are currently connected to the DVD/Home Theater system. We also have an old VCR in there, but I'm hoping to replace the VCR with the new DVD recorder, so I didn't mention it in my components. Thanks!
I may be wrong on that - I'm at work right now and can't look at everything. The routing goes: cable from the wall in to the cable box, out from there, in to the VCR, then out to the TV. the DAV-DX255 may be connected directly to the TV. I'm sorry to be so vague...I thought I had written everything down right. I do appreciate the help, and your time, though.
OK - so you think the DVD recorder also has an input/output for the antenna cord coming from the cable box, and out to the TV (like the VCR does)? Oh, if this works, BLESS YOU! You will have prevented a nervous breakdown! I will definitely check it out and post to let you know!
Well, it didn't work My DVD recorder doesn't have the antenna cord/coax like the VCR does. If it matters, the DVD model I have does not have a tuner in it. I'm seriously thinking about taking it back. I REALLY do appreciate you taking all this time to help me, though!
It does have one set of the red, yellow & white outputs. I'm giving it one more shot tonight, then back to Wal-Mart we go! They have a Magnavox with a tuner that's $10 cheaper. It's not top of the line, but as you can tell, I don't need anything very hi-tech! I so appreciate your patience.
LK - I owe you BIG........I got everything connected last night and it all works!! Thank you so very much for not giving up and helping me all the way through the process.
