Connecting hdtv, cable, dvr/vhs combo recorder
I have connected our Sony hdtv to Comcast cable box with hdmi cord (input hdmi1 )
And a dvd/vhs recorder (SONY RDR-VXD655) via hdmi cord. (input hdmi 2)
I also connected the recorder to cable via the audio/video cord (red, yellow, white) cord (as manual directed) (as cable “tech” suggested I do) (Comcast Video Out, Dvd Recorder –Video Line 1 In)
I was under the impression that all I needed were the hdmi cords for each (salesman pitch)
]Problem: Although I can play a dvd or a vhs when I use input #2.
I CANNOT RECORD on either a dvd or vhs tape while watching a TV program.[/B](as I do (vhs only)with another Sylvania –hooked to a small analog TV.)
Any help you can provide will be appreciated. This is all very frustrating when I know there should be a simple solution.(ha) I don’t think the manual gives very precise/detailed directions
