New Guy question...

[HEMI44]

I'm sure this question has been asked a 1000 times, but I can't find any reference to it. I have an older tv a Magnavox to be exact. It has one set of inputs on the back to the tv, but no s-video. So my question is, how can I connect my Phillips DVR and my Panasonic DVD player to my tv?

Welcome to SatelliteGuys... you should be able to use the Composite(Rca) outputs from the Dvr and Dvd player to your TV...

Well right now I have the cables running from the DVD player to the Phillips DVR, then I have cables running from the DVR to the tv, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

You probably need to get a Composite switch from Wally world or Radio Shack(hook them up seperate to it then to the TV) as it sounds like the Dvr is not passing the signal through. You can watch stuff off of the Dvr? Be aware some Dvrs will not pass the Dvd video thru due to copyright infringement technology...
