:confused: I have a 4 input av switch an I want to hook up a vcr/dvd player, direct TV recorder, an dvd recorder so I can recored it all to my dvd recorder but having problems can anyone help me

Output of AV switch goes to Recorder. Things you want to record needs to have the outputs
Going to the inputs on selector, then select disired source to record.
If having a problem with cable types or other questions come back.
Very good information can be found here:
