Set up I cannot set up my new system. I have star choice, VCR, Tape Deck, DVD with my new JVC system. Do I need a HDMI cable? How and where do I hook all these plugs. Can I add other speakers to this system, and how? Do I connect the white, yellow, and red plugs to the receiver, satille or the t.v.? Please help after many trys and hours.

It is a HDMI OUT on the DVD/VCR Recorder.

You can only record to a DVD/VCR from the External DVD/VCR Input (Connected to a Freeview, Cable or Satellite Box etc) or from one to the other.

What tv do you have? Whant model? DVD player and VCR can hook up to your tv in many different ways via HDMI, S-video, Component and Audio/Video cable.

you can only upscale through a good amp.set the dvd player to auto.how old is the tv?are you playing a new release?is the HDMI cable compatible with 1080 1.3b?

Use the HDMI cable to hook up the DVD/VCR combo.Use the HDMI ports and cables,best result for the new format HD Movies,Tv's shows.Less clotters too.

There are a couple of different ways you can do this but this is the easiest.

Items needed - One set of RCA audio cables (Red/White)

1) On the back of your TV there should be RCA plugs marked as "Audio Out". Connect the RCA cable to these connections Red cable to Red connector and White cable to White connector.

2) Locate on the back of the surround sound system the connections marked "Audio in (VCR)". Connect the other end of the RCA cable to this connection Red cable to Red Connector and White cable to White connector.

Now to get the sound to play press the "VCR" button on the surround remote and you should get the cable box sound on the surround system.

Good Luck.....

ok cable sat wire goes into input of dvd-vcr input then coming out from the dvd vcr and into the moulator then a wire out to the tv now make sure your vcr is set to the right setting ...now you can record 1 cable..2.vcr dvd..3 modulator...4...tv make sure vcr is set to monitor

I called the JVC tech service rep. I went from the Cable box to the JVC unit with a Digital Optical Cable, from dvd/vcr player to jvc unit with a Composite Cable and Audio Cables. From cable box to tv with hdmi cable and from jvc unit to tv with componet cables and cable box to dvd/vcr with Audio/ Video and S-Video cables. This allows me to have the cable TV access and Surround sound in all mode. I have HD and Digital surround sound in three diiferent modes. Everything is working great.
Thanks for the opportunity for help just the same.

if your DVD player supports a HDMI cable a single cable is enough for both audio and video channel.

but both your player and TV must support HDMI.

yes, you need to use an Audio/Video cable (red, white, yellow) to hook to the TV. I've never seen a VCR that doesn't have coax connectors for the antenna input and TV ouput, but maybe the new ones are starting to leave that out. Normally, you run the antenna or cable coax into the VCR's input, then run another coax from the VCR output to the TV's input (or use an A/V cable)
