If a person has to turn on their VCR in order to turn on the TV, then the VCR is working as the input and the output. If you do not want this to happen, disconnect the cables from the VCR and directly connect them to the TV.

How can you bypass your big screens bad tuner by using a VCR am confused by so many in out av ac cables?

Hi !This only applies assuming that this is a cable/antenna tuner not a HD or digital signal .What you'll need to do is find a free input on your tv such as input 1 , 2 , 3 etc . Connect the vcr to the free input using the ouput on the vcr .Then you will hook up your cable/antenna hookup into your vcr's INPUT or LINE IN whatever they call it . Turn on vcr and tv . Be sure to put tv on proper input which would be what ever free input you decided on for the vcr . Then you'll need to turn your vcr to the tuner input . Sometimes you have to press the input button to get there . From that point you will use the vcr remote to change channels .


How do you hook an old VCR to old TV?

Hook the coax feed to the ant in on the first vcr. Hook a cable from ant out on the first vcr to ant in on the second vcr (ant in). Run coax from ant out on the second vcr to the tv. To watch the first vcr you have to turn on second vcr and set second vcr on an input setting. There are other ways to do it with a/b switches and splitters. The above hookup allows you to tape on either vcr at the same time. You may have to use the tv/vcr button in some cases also.


How do you turn off 'VCR lock' on Quasar TV VCR combo?

You can find the Quasar TV Combo operating manual on the Panasonic website under operating manuals--type in the model number and it will pull up the entire manual on adobe acrobat...but here's the answer in short...Hold down the STOP/EJECT botton for 7 seconds during stop or power off mode--this same action will also turn the VCR lock back on so that your kids (or yourself) can't use the vcr!

Unless your DirecTV receiver has a composite (analog) output of some type, like a component level or RF level, it'd be a waste of time because the signals aren't compatible. Connect your VCR to the a/v outputs on the DirecTV box.

Can you record a cable program on your VCR if your cable is run to the TV without a cable box?

Yes, you can as long as you have the coax cable connected to the VCR first and then to your TV. Some TVs have RCA A/V outputs also and you can connect a VCR to them. Even better is to use the RCA A/V connections from the cable box to VCR, VCR to TV.
