Hi,
On a VCR without a tuner, you'll need to use the video and audio input jacks either from the cable?satellite box or your TV if they're available. Remember, the yellow jack is for video and the red is for the right audio, the white is for the left channel audio.
Hope this helps,
Cubby

Can you record a cable program on your VCR if your cable is run to the TV without a cable box?
Yes, you can as long as you have the coax cable connected to the VCR first and then to your TV. Some TVs have RCA A/V outputs also and you can connect a VCR to them. Even better is to use the RCA A/V connections from the cable box to VCR, VCR to TV.
You have cable box DVD wsurround sound all connected to tv you want to add the vcr to this and be able to tape from cable what is the best way to connect the vcr in with the rest should you run coax?
You unhook the connection from the cable box to the TV and connect it to the VCR input. You purchase a short cable and install it from the VCR output to where the cable was connected to the TV. The TV will get the cable box signal through the VCR with no problem when you are not using the VCR. If the cable box was connected to the surround sound or Home Theater and then the TV then connect the cable box to the VCR and then the surround sound or home theater.
Can a DVD VCR recorder without a tuner still record tv shows?
I believe that you can use your cable turner or the TV turner to record TV Shows. It all in the setup for RCA style inputs into the DVD/VCR from outputs from the cable box or TV if they are available. You can only record TV shows that are playing on the TV/Cable Box and if they do not have outputs setting up the DVD/VCR to record is not possible. The single channel use prevents you from watching one show and recording another on that TV. This is what I was doing before I got the DVR on my cable box and now I fast forward past all the commercials.
How do you record a TV show from the TV to the VCR with no camera connections?
With a VHS recorder hooked to the TV. If you are looking to just record off the TV then the best way is to attach either your antenna or your cable to the VCR in connectio and then the VCR out goes to your TV. If you are looking to attach a camera to your VCR and record, the video out of the camera goes to the videl line in on you VCR and the audio out from your camera goes to line audio in on your VCR. Your VCR will need to be on the LINE IN channel to see the output of the camera. You then push record on your VCR and shoot away.
Do i use the Belkin Pure AV Silver Series - Video cable - Male RCA to M RCA to hook the cable box to the VCR?
No. You would need a coaxial (preferably video) cable to connect a cable box to a VCR, unless your cable box has RCA outputs, which most don't.
I have cable tv but I bought a dvdvcr combo and now I am told I have to have a cable or satellite box connected to it so it will work?
You can run your cable to you DVD/VCR as to have everything hooked up and be able to record if you like from you cable - it is just easier to have everything hooked up. It doesn't have to be on when you are not using it as there are buttons for TV/VCR/DVD etc.
Need help to hook VCR DVD to record it does not have a coax cable on the vcr DVD?
The modern VCR / DVD recorder does not work like the old VCRs. The switch to OTA digital TV has made the tuner less useful and was deleted from most device. VCR / DVD are now used to transfer the data to DVD . You could however attach cables fron an exernal digital tuner/ or cable box/ satellite into the VCR/DVD with the input line to record. (RCA / HDMI/ composite)
Do the DVD/VCR combos have the ability to record programs?
Yes, the VCR part usually has a line-in where it can record inputs from outside sources such as televisions or cable boxes etc.
You just signed up for new channels on your cable service The numbers have three digits However when you try to viewrecord these channels they do not come up thru the VCR and you cannot record anythin?
Hi, Your VCR most likely doesn't have the required type of tuner to handle the cable channels. You have two coices. The first is to connect it to the cable box's RF output and record off of the antenna connections or use a set of video/audio cables and record from the cable box that way. With the change to all digital technology, older items like VCR's are going to have to have specialized accommodations for them to contontinue to work with your system. Hope that helps, Cubby Make sure your VCR is on channel 3 or 4, however it's set up.
Can a VCR with no tuner record programs if you don't have cable?
not by itself, there must be some tuner controlling the input from the airwaves or the cable. I haven't seen a vcr with no tuner. It would also be difficult to use with no monitor to view the set up of the vcr itself
Can the cable run directly into VCR without the box?
Yes, but if your cable company is no longer sending analog channels down the cable, it won't work without a digital converter box.
Does the cable signal need to go through both VCR and DVD player and if so do you need a splitter to accomplish it?
Cable hookupyou can string them in order wall to cable box ( if needed ) box to vcr ( for recording ) vcr to DVD and DVD to tv. Mine is hooked up wall to box, box to splitter, splitter to tv ( I have dual tuners for pip ) then coaxial out plugs on DVD to coaxial in on tv ( I don't use a vcr any more but if I did it would be after the splitter and before the tv.) There is no need to send cable to the DVD unless it is a recorder also or if you don't have auxiliary inputs on the tv.
