How to Connect Satellite Receiver, VCR, DVD Recorder, TV

[GJM]

How do I connect together my components so I can:

watch TV from my Satellite Provider (Dish Network),
and record TV programs on both the VCR and DVD recorder,
and play from both the VCR and DVD recorder to view on my TV
(and record to and from the VCR to the DVD Recorder...)


I have Dish Network 301 Satellite receiver (not a DVR)
Panasonic 20" TV (6 years old) with co-ax and RCA inputs
Panasonic VCR (6 years old) with co-ax and RCA inputs and outputs
Digital Max by Lite-On DVD Recorder-Player (new Digital Max DMD R 0501)

Thank you.

I've attached a hook-up guide (hookup32.pdf) that will do all that you want. Note, however, that many modern DVDr devices have copy protection built-in so you may experience some blocking of secured programs. Sorry...talk to the MPAA, et al.

Best,

Thank you for your reply to my query.
I hooked it up differently,
and I'll try the way you suggest.

Thanks again,
