On the VCR, you may need to select two things, the correct VCR input and the correct VCR source. Some VCRs have multiple inputs, one in the rear, usually LINE 1 or L1 and one on the front, usually LINE 2 or L2 typically used for a camcorder input. Select L1 or L2 using the VCR remote button such as INPUT SELECT. Typically if you press this button, again and again, you can cycle through all the inputs and see which one works. In addition you may need to press the TV/VIDEO button or the like on the VCR remote to switch the source from VCR antenna to VCR transport. Again pressing this button will cycle through the selections back and forth, one or the other so see which one works. Your VCR remote may call this button something else other than TV/VIDEO. This setup does work if you select the correct settings on the VCR and TV. Many people have an older TV and have a CD player and a VCR. You may just need the cables which are available online. This setup could be useful for an older adult, possibly confined to bed. By playing a CD through the VCR and using the TV as the speaker, the caregiver could possibly take a break while the older adult enjoys the music. CDs can play for at least 30 min. or more. • HDMI Versions • HDMI Cables • Wiring diagram - HDMI Surround Sound • How to hookup Surround Sound |
