Hi, I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

This is how mine is setup; VCR connected to TV so I can view VHS tapes on TV channel 3. My VCR out w/grex to my Recorder in, my recorder out to TV - I hooked to AV but you can connect w/HDMI - I don't record TV so my cable connects to my TV, but, just like the old days of recording VHS, if you were trying to record TV you would have to connect your cable through the recorder and watch on the HDMI port that the recorder is set to and run your channels through the recorder. If you have satellite or cable TV you will need a special decoder as paid services generally won't run straight through your VCR or DVD recorders, not a problem if you have antenna.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have never used a DVD/VCR that was not cable ready. Had I realized that this model was not cable ready, I would not have purchased it. According to the directions, a modulator is required. I purchased one, and still no picture. The unit is in a closet because I have never been able to use it.

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

Lee: I have not had that much success using a USB Flash drive on my Vizio 50" so I use my Sony 3D/BluRay, but it does not seem to like some MK4 videos. Therefore, I normally connect my laptop to the Vizio and play videos off the laptop through the HDMI port and using DVD13 or TMT6 software. Hope that information helps. Boyd

I looked up the Toshiba product that you mentioned. I don't see a problem at all. Let me break it down by what I can tell from the product description. "One Touch Recording makes recording your favorite show simple. Just connect the DR430 to your cable or satellite box and you are set to record with the push of one button." Simple enough. Do what it says then connect your cable or satellite box to the receiver with an HDMI cable to the SAT/Cable in slot. Run another HDMI cable from the receiver to your HDTV. "With the DR430, converting and archiving your favorite home movies to DVD is simple. You can also experience your DVD movie collection in near HD quality with the DR430's 1080p up conversion via HDMI. Video up conversion up to 1080p resolution via HDMI takes your current DVDs to a new level, for an amazing viewing experience on today's HDTVs." If you were going to just use the DVD recorder like a DVD or Blu-ray player to take advantage of the up conversion you'd connect the DVD recorder to the DVD input on the receiver with another HDMI cable. You could also connect it by an HDMI cable to one of the available video slots. Either way would work. Hope that helps.

The unit does have the connections you specified, but the line has to go from line 1 (or 2) out to the component input on the back of the satellite receiver because the VCR does not have a built in tuner. This is the only connection I could get to work. If you plug it into the AV input, you will get a split screen on the TV. That's what happened to me. Good Luck!

We connected a DVD to the TV with no problems. We don't have a DVD/VCR combo, but I'm certain you could hook one up, with the proper cables.

make sure the reciever has been set to "component input" for the DVD input. You can find this in the setup screen for the reciever. It may be set to HDMI and therefore does not know to search for signal on the component inputs.

I purchased a Toshiba dvd/vcr combination recorder/ player. It is model # DVR670KU. I have never been able to get it to work. I have a Sony LCD Digital Color TV (Bravia). Even the cable guy could not get it to work. I bought it on Ebay (first mistake) and they would not take it back. I have had it 2 years and yet to get it to record or play a dvd. What am I doing wrong.

Hi LindaAfter suffering for 6 months I have given up. Nothing I have done works. I do have the vcr/dvd hooked up so I can view tapes/dvds; however no recording. And what is real weird; on occasion, my tape recording blacks out and says no signal. If this is just a tape, why is that? The TV does not black out. UGH

Your PC will need a Video card with Svideo or composite inputs, and software to utilize it. Connect RCA cables to the video OUTPUT of the VCR to the Grex, then from the Grex to the PC Video card INPUT. You can connect the Audio , anyway you want (Output to INPUT). To the Video card or to any microphone input . You can even use the headphone jack on the VCR if you have one.

I don't have this tv but have set this up with another tv I have. Turn your tv on and aim the remote at it. Look on the remote for a button that says "setup". Click on it. You'll be taken to a screen that has a few different options, "cable", "dvd" maybe, etc. There should be an option to add or delete. So add "laptop" or "computer" (I forget if my tv gave me a specific term option) to the setup options (where you would have DVD player. Blueray, etc. set up in the overall TV setup). Save that if there's a place to "save". It may just stay there once you add it in. There may not be an additional step to "save". Then once you have that set up, get out of there. Turn off the tv. Turn it back on, plug in your computer, go to setup using your remote, select "laptop" or "computer"using your tv remote, and suddenly your computer screen will show up on the tv. Hope this helps!

Hello, I'm trying to connect via RF cable to a prima edtv with an NTSC tuner. I can get sound but no picture (not even the guide). Am I missing a setting on my tv or something? TV works fine with DVDs etc. Can one of the experts help?

What model VCR/DVD do you have? Most TVs have AV outputs now that you can hook to to record. Are you trying to record from an antenna or a cable box? It's better to buy a VCR/DVD with a tuner already in it. For myself, I bought a separate up-verting DVD player and a separate VHS player as the combos are getting hard to find, and very expensive.

I use an old VIZIO 32" LCD and it works fine. My TV is not a smart TV. It is recommended to update the firmware on the player, and to do that you need a simple CAT5 (ethernet) cable and some source of internet (modem, or computer sharing it's connection) to the DVD player.
