We've done that coax hook up (and a few other variations) and nothing works.
I'm actually resigned at this point to the thing just not working. We've got the DVD connected normally now (without the HDMI), so at least it works. I'm bummed, though. I like to record off of TV. |
It's the few other variations that will derail getting this working. In your previous comment you quoted the DVD player doesn't and never did work. Are we still trouble shooting the same issue you started the thread with?

It's just the VCR part that we want to work and that I've been using for years. So the answer to your question is no on the DVD. Just the VCR is desired.

What you didn't mention is the RCA jacks. What about them?

Most electronic components don't internal cross inputs/outputs. You cannot input a coaxial signal and output a component. They aren't connected.
