Hooking up Memorex MVDR2102

[mcastill66]

Okay just bought a Memorex MVDR2102 DVD Recorder. I have directv.

Ok so I hooked up the player via the A/V cables to the OUT of the DVD recorder. This is good for playback of DVD's. Ok now the part where I get confused. When I try to record I choose the right OUTPUT(AV front, AV Rear,Etc Etc). I am on Line 1(TV), I see the blues screen but it says No Signal. Ok so when I hit record It just says WAITING on the recorder. Am I missing a connection somewhere?? Do I need an S Video cable to be able to record?Or is the DVD recorder messed up?


TIA
