Connecting 5 entertainment items?

Question

As far as picture goes. I got my tv, vcr, dvd player, and digital cable receiver. When the cable guy hooked everything up, I didn't have the vcr at the apartment (it was still at the old apt. long story). I want to connect so I can record shows.

Also I want to figure out how to hook up audio cables from all the items mentioned to my stereo so I can use the stereo speakers for sound.

I hope all this makes sense. I can clarify if need be.

Answer 1

you need to run the digital cable through the vcr and then to the tv to be able to record shows. (pretty simple) As far as the sound, it depends on the tv. My tv has multiple audio and video outputs so I can run seperate cables and just switch the source on the tv. Unless you have an old tv, you should be able to do this. Hope this helps. You may need to invest in a multi-port A/V connector if your system is old and doesnt' have the proper connections.
