How To Connect Two VCR To Old TV?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In order to connect two VCRs to a TV a splitter has to be used on the incoming cable in order to hook it into both the VCRs. In order to be able to run both VCRs an A/B switch is required. The output leads from both these VCRs has to be connected to the switch and the one leaving the switch has to connect to the TV. The VCR that necessary can be switched over two and both devices can be used at once to record from the TV. In order to record from one VCR to the other a splitter is again required for the cable wire. A lead has to be connected from the "out" slots of the splitter to the "in" slot in both the VCRs. A/V wires are needed. Connect the A/V wires from the A/V out of the VCR you wish to record from to A/V in of the VCR you wish to play from. Another bunch of A/V wires have to run from the A/V out of the VCR that is used for playing, into the television.

      Do u want to record 2 different shows @ the same time but view one or the other show?
      NOTE: ANTENNA OR SIGNAL IN: The 1st splitter with 2 outputs, on each output of splitter one(1) place 2 separate splitters two(2) & three(3) [two cables coming out of spliter(1) OUTPUT: & going INTO spliter(2) & (3) INPUT:  Out of each 'output' of splitter (2) & (3) place one in 'VHS input' of VHS1 & 'VHS input' of vcr2. On the 'VHS1 output 'put into A/B SWITCH "A" and 'VHS2-OUTPUT' into A/B SWITCH "B". The output of "A/B SWITCH" is connected to "Antenna IN" of T.V.
      You can "tune" vhs1 to chennal 2, etc.(press  record), "tune" vhs2 to ch. 7, etc(press record) and use A/B switch to 'see' whats on different recorders. NOTE: U CAN ONLY SEE on tv ONE vhs @ A TIME
      note: " old tv ?" I'll get back to u on that one [dmsr3@juno.com]
      I forgor the name of the 'adapter' for 1,000 ohm to 300 ohm that the tv uses in 'old tv' antenna input.
