I have newer vizio hdtv flatscreen I'd like to be able to use with my older dvd player and record on my vcr, but vcr won't tune in channels without digital converter box & antenna. How do I get these all connected so I don't have to disconnect and reconnect every time I use a different player?

Makes and models, then I can tell you if/how to connect the equipment.

Please note that you might not have enough connections on the TV and might need to purchase a switch/AV selector.
