Hi, I am new here and Im still trying to figure out all of the rules so please bear with me:smile:
I recently purchased a Philips DVR so I might transfer some home videos to disc. I think I have tried every configuration known to man but cant for the life of me figure out how to hook it up. I have'nt seen this combination yet so maybe someone can help.
Scientific Atlantic DVR,
Philips DVR 3400
RCA VCR in/out audio l/r
RCA TV s-video..in/out adio l/r

any help is appreciated

Have you checked out the hook-up guides (see the link bar above). Typically you'll want to hook up the VCR video/audio outputs to the matching inputs on the Philips DVR to make tape-to-disc copies. As for recording off the SA DVR, if that converter has a digital output that matches the Philips, you're best best is to use that. The 3400 should be the last device before the TV set.

Thanks Jonathon for your quick reply. I did try the hookup guide but nothing seems to work. I can get the Philips to record but only whats on tv. I can get the vcr to play but cant get the Philips to record anything from it. I have tried every setting but nothing seems to work...Im beginning to think they are incompatible. Im Stumped:headbang:
