Our current hook up consist of:

We have a RF modulator, dvd player, dvd recorder, and TV hookup.

The (Composite Video) red, white, yellow plugs are in the Audio input on the RF Modulator going to the DVD Player red, white, yellow output.

The cable from the back of the TV is plugged into the RF Modulator TO TV plug.

The cable from the wall is plug into the ANT IN plug on the RF Modulator

S Video output on the DVD Player is plugged into S Video input on the DVD Recorder

The DVD player plays, but the DVD recorder will not record. Please help

You can't copy DVDs they are protected.

I know you can't copy DVDs from the store. I'm trying to copy a DVD from a friend that she transferred photos from VHS. I'm trying to copy from the TV as well, but the hook up is not correct. Please help.

On my recorder I have to set it on s-video to use the s connection. You don't say what brand of recorder you have.

I have a Pioneer DVR-220 DVD Recorder. I was able to fool with it enough to get the setup menu to display on the screen, which I could not do before.

Are you setting the recorder on whatever input the DVD player is connected to? You may have to set it in the menus to s-video.

Is the recorder set to whatever input the player is connected to?
