How do you hook up a VCR and DVD recorder to a satellite receiver and TV?

Go out from the dish set-top box and into the vcr and then out from vcr into the tv.

Most receivers have outputs that are RCA (Yellow/Red/White). On the back of your VCR, you should have inputs for RCA. Also have inputs on the back of the Television.

There are two ways to go if it is a non-HD receiver: Coaxial and RCA

---- Take the cable output from the back of the receiver (it says "out to tv") and connect that to the input on the VCR. Then take another cable and attach it to the output on the VCR and connect that to the TV's input. This requires you to set the TV to either channel 3 or 4 depending on the setup on the VCR.

---- Take the RCA (Yellow/Red/White) from the receiver to the VCR inputs and plug them in. Hookup the VCR to the TV using the Coax or using the RCA output on the VCR. Note: this will require you to set the VCR to the TV/VCR setting in order to view the Video/Audio output. This would require either changing the channel (Coax output) or changing the TV's video input.

Can you watch 3D blu ray movies on a regular lcd tv?

That depends on the kind of 3D TV you have. If your 3D TV has a 2D to 3D conversion feature than yes, you can watch any 2D program in 3D. LG makes good 3D TVs that are affordable and have 2d to 3d conversion feature (other cheaper makers don't have that feature included). I have a LW6500 model (Cinema 3D line) from LG and 3D-converted images look great.

What is the difference between 480p 720p and 1080p?

In almost all instances the two screen types* will be defined as "720" and "1080" which denotes either 720 horizontal lines of resolution or 1080. The more pixels there are the higher quality the picture will be, so a television with 1080p will have a higher resolution than a television with 720p.

The letter "p" means "progressive" which provides a higher resolution than if you see the letter "i" which means "interlaced". If you have two televisions, one a 720p and the other a 720i, the television with 720p will have a higher resolution.

*due to standard screen sizes there is no 700p, only 720i or 720p

Will a German blu ray disc work on a US format?

It is unlikely that US material will work on European equipment for two reasons. First, North America operates on a 60Hz field rate, meaning that images are delivered to the screen 60 times each second. In Europe, the field rate is 50Hz. Color encoding is also different for analog signals. Many European players and monitors will adjust automatically if they see 60Hz content so this problem is not seen often with modern equipment. The second problem is a bigger one. Commercial DVDs and Bluray discs are region coded. A disc that is coded for North America will only work on North American players. Likewise, European discs are restricted to European players. Some DVD and Bluray players are region free, meaning they will play any disc from any region. These tend to be professional decks rather than domestic. Also, non commercial discs do not have the region coding and can also be played on any disc. The only way to be sure is to try it and see if your set up works. If it does, then it is a bonus for you.

How do you program an RCA d770 universal remote?

If you know how to program the D770 remote for device buttons other than the DVD device button, then you shouldn't have much of a problem. However, I suspect that you are unaware of the procedures for programming the remote (as I was before I researched it), or your DVD player is newer than the remote and/or the remote just simply does not contain the code for your DVD player, or the remote's batteries are dead or low, or the DVD device button on your remote is not working (which can be tested by noticing if the red LED under the ON/OFF button lights up when the DVD button is pushed). Under the rca.com website, I found the following webpage that shows the instruction manual in pdf format for the RCA D770 remote: http://download.ethomson.com/english/RCA/ACCESSORIES/IB/D770.pdf If the remote is working properly and it contains the code for your DVD player, then I am pretty sure that following the instructions from the said manual should solve the problem. However, aside from directly entering the code (which I found did work for me), when I tried (more than once) using the Automatic Code Search procedure as shown on page 5, it never worked...Which I thought I'd mention since some people might have the same problem occur, and I had found on my own a procedure for a solution to this problem that is not even mentioned in the said instruction manual. It is as follows: Turn on the device you want to control. Press and hold the button you want to program followed by holding down the ON/OFF button. When the red LED lights up, then release both buttons. While pointing the remote at the device, instead of doing any pressing of the PLAY button, just press the ON/OFF button until the device turns off. You need not wait 5 or more seconds between presses as you'd need to do when pushing the play button, but do not press the ON/OFF button way too fast. After, or upon, each press of the ON/OFF button, the LED blinks (goes off and immediately back on) and it is after this blink (that is, after the LED goes back on) when you can then press the ON/OFF button again. Don't worry, the blinks occur anywhere from about 1 second (which would be the max), to a fraction of a second, down to even the exact moment the ON/OFF button is pressed. Be careful though, so as to be able to stop when the device turns off...that is, do not press the button again after the device turns off. For, if you overshoot and press the button, even once, after the device turns off, you more than likely would have to hold down the CLEAR button until the LED goes out (and which clears the procedure), and then start the procedure over. Anyway, after the device does turn off, you then hold down the STOP button until the LED goes off, and your set to go. Comparing both procedures for Automatic Code Search, when the PLAY button is used to search, you only need to press the PLAY button a maximum of 20 times because each press sends, not just one code signal, but a group or set of different code signals in rapid succession to test which one turns the device off. If one set of signals do not work then you press the PLAY button to send another set. That is why you need to wait 5 or more seconds between presses. Although using the procedure in pressing the ON/OFF button requires a much less wait between presses (since only 1 code signal is sent for each press), accordingly, you would need to press the ON/OFF button a greater number of times to get through all the codes (Maybe around 100 presses or code-signals?). My only idea as to why my pressing the ON/OFF button for the code search worked while pressing the PLAY button did not is that the group of different codes sent after pressing PLAY were sent too close to each other...at least where MY television's ability to decipher them is concerned. And finally, just to let you know, the codes in the said manual for the remote are 4 digit codes and different from the 3 digit codes that are listed in web pages that show general codes for remote controls. Fop example, compare the code in the said manual with the codes I found for the same devices in web pages otherwise...1 of which I listed for you as follows out of the many I found on the net: http:/www.thompsontv.com/rcarc.html I found that all the web pages - except the web page for the D770 remote's manual - had the 3 digit codes that were all the same and consistent for the same devices; the said manual's codes were 4 digit and different. However, I put in and tried the associated 3-digit code, and then put in and tried the associated 4-digit code, for my TV and they both work the same! Well, I thought I'd leave you with this interesting info just in case you might need it. Good Luck, Vullin.

Can you record music on a DVD disk?

No.

You need a laser that has a higher power to affect the dye of a DVD-R, rather than just read it.

You also need different circuitry, to handle the recording process.

I dare say you could, if you had all the resources, but the result would be more expensive than buying a ready made one.

Do Mac Books have Blu-ray?

Blu-ray has been called "a bag of hurt" for a long time by Jobs because all Mac machines don't ship the capability to play Blu-ray. So if you wanna do this, you have to take advantage of some third party program. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player is the most used software on Mac which really works fine on all Mac models.

What is the simplest way to hook up an old TV to a VCR and a satellite?

Hello there, To hook up the TV and VCR: 1: take aerial cable (the aerial), plug that into the VCR label aerial (back of VCR; what ever the name is as long as it mentions aerial) 2: take the TV cable (no, not the POWER cable but similar to that of the aerial cable but has male/female ends, connect one end to the VCR (RF out) and the other to the TV (if doesn't fit reverse cable; REMEBER, DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING OR IT WILL LEAD TO DAMAGE OF DEVICES) If you have RCA cables at the back of the TV, do the following, 1: take a three plug cable (RCA; Red & White (Letf & right speackers; stereo) & Yellow (picture), plug the red & white RCA into the corresponding colors on the TV INPUT section (RECEIVING sound and pic from VCR to TV = INput) 2: repeat above but this is for the VCR and connect into the OUTPUT section (SENDING sound and pic from VCR to TV = OUTput) Check: 1: Pick a channel that you want to designate as an AV; Audio/Video (VCR channel to watch videos & Record) channel and place in a tape and play it (let it contiune playing until step two is completed) 2: on the TV continue tuning until you receive the playing video, then you're done. You'll got through a series of frequencies ie VHF, UHF, etc. before you'll get to the video pic. Be patient if you have to manually tune. 2.1: if you have auto tune use it and continue until you have the video image from the playing video. As for the satellite, 1: you must have the decoder box in order to receive satellite signals 2: connect the cable from the satellite dish (srew type & designed) to the input of the decoder 3: take the cable as mentioned above (TV/VCR; standard) or special cable (srew type & designed) and connect the srew end to the box and the other end to the TV (standard where applicable). 4: the TV must have a double adapter for both box cable and VCR (viewing video); buy one at your nearest electronic store. Ask for a double adaptor for the aerial of the TV. Connect box cable to TV, another cable to TV to VCR (RF out) PS. It is possible that the decoder may have only one output (to prevent recording) therefore you may need an additional aerial for local channels only. I hope this has helped... :) PS. If in doubt, use the VCR manual (pics) to assist you in my description

How do you record live tv programme of cable network or setup box to CD without tv tuner?

You must have a video capture card in your PC. A card that will take the signal from your TV settop box (video & audio) and record it on your hard disk. Once on your hard disk, then you can burn it to DVD or CD. You also need a capture software to do that. The software can either come with the capture card or you can buy/download a software from other companies like adobe , roxio, or Nero.
