does this record from component cable? i couldnt see this in the picture, does it record from component cables (the five outputs) or composite/RCA only (three outputs, usually red white and yellow)?

If you're still curious this only has the 3 RCA outputs Red,White,and Yellow. I record from my PS3 and have to go to the AV settings =( I am not sure though if you can get some sort of add-on where you can record from components.

Hi Wes; The RCA DH24SPF splits the signal present on the IN connector into two signals. One signal is present on OUT 1 connector and one signal is present on OUT 2 connector. These two output signals are identical. You can record the signal input on IN on, say OUT 1, and watch that identical signal on OUT 2. I doubt that you want to record what you are watching but if you do than my answer is yes, otherwise no. Hope this helps.

It records on two tracks unless you use an external mic in which only records on one track. Search Amazon for a (C2G / Cables to Go 40634 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Mono Female Adapter (Metallic Silver)) About $5.00. now it will record on tracks using an external mic. Not the same as stereo but you'll get sound out of both speakers. I use a Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier that and the adapter ROCK.

You will need normal 3 color RCA or the 5 color hd version there are no hdmi hook ups. However there is a cord that connects the device to a computer which allows you to record that you need as well. This cord is Called a USB to printer cable or USB to b male connector

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing. But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

I typically used a standard mini plug to RCA. The mini plug comes with 3 stripes and links 3 color coded red, white and yellow RCAs. This one does not have HDMI connector from what I know...

I have the outputs from the line 6 running through my mixer. I record from there. Hope that helps.

This unit can record from just about any source, radio, sound board, tv, anything that has RCA output plugs or you could use an adapter to go say from 1/8 inch to RCA.I am using it to record live music from a sound board.

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

If your signal is mono, it will only record as mono. You can split the signal into two channels, but it's still going to be mono

Hi Dawn..I'm not sure I understand... If you run left channel to left "03" input and right channel too right input of "03" you can record to "03" but seems there should be a cheaper device for recording 2 tracks out there? paul

Hi Robert! I haven't had any problems recording from my cable box. I've recorded digital stations, premium and even On-Demand with this unit. Yep, recorded 3 shows ON-Demand! The D-r400 is awesome! I'm using composite, because my cable box does not have an S-Video Connection. Picture is great and I wasn't sure it would be, although I'm not using this on an HDTV. I have read that some people have problems, depending on their cable provider. If your provider will not allow recording of these stations due to copyright, then it may not work for you. Most have not had a problem, which is why this unit has become so popular. Just make sure you hook up your unit to the cable box. The D-r400 doesn't have coaxial, so you need to use RCA audio/video cables. Follow the instructions on the manual for cable/satellite installation and you'll be fine.

red white and yellow are composite (yellow is video, red is right and white is left audio)component has 3 connectors just for video, and then you need red and white for audio too

There is only one component/composite input, one RF coaxial cable input, and two hdmi inputs(side/rear). I run all my devices through a A/V receiver with the hdmi. There is an optical audio out as well.

Can you tell me how you are going to connect this device as I am unfamiliar with it. I connect a portable device I have through the RCA connections. This enables the sound, music etc., to run through it as well as record. It also has a USB port on the back, although I have not tried to directly record from this devise, as my portable device records. It does not have a particular button, switch or toggle for recording so if the device you are using does not have the recording capability I'm not sure how you would get into "record" mode. Though I am saying this without reading the manual which is packed away at the moment.
