i have a dvd recorder that i need to hook up to a tv (a new magnavox). the tv only has a cable hookup in the back and only a video (yellow) hookup and 1 audio (white) hookup in the front. I have a cable box, and i tried to hook it up through that. i only want to use the recorder to watch dvds for right now. i hooked it up, and i could hear the sound from the dvd but i couldn't see the picture. someone please help!

First you need a y cable for the audio or you're going to miss a significant portion of the audio. Connect with the RCAs and set the TV on line or auxillary.

If there isn't an input or auxillary button on the remote, go through the channels until you get to line.

Can anyone help?
My dad has just bought a dvd recorder and is trying to hook it up to his tv. He has a freeview box, plus video recorder which he wants to keep set up. The other problem is that the tv is quite a distance from the video and freeview box, at the moment they are all connected with a very long arieal cable which is underneath the floorboards. Basically all I need to know is what leads go where so he can record all channels. Hope someone can help.
Cheers
