my connection looks alright but i still get some pixely signal loss. it is very noticeable on some of my finalized dvds (i usually record in xp and dub in flex mode...usually 2 hour discs). is there anyway i can improve my connection for a better quality hookup? here is my current connection: DirecTV Receiver to VCR (AV Cables...yellow white red) VCR to Panasonic DVD Recorder (AV Cables...yellow white red) DVD Recorder to TV (AV Audio Cables and Monster Cable S-Video)
my setup works great! to record: receiver to dvd recorder (rf cable and mut be red or gold wire) Do not use silver wire to view regular program: receiver to tv (component cable premium picture or s-video cable best picture or RCA cable yellow-white-red ok picture) so if you want to record set you tv (ch. 3 or 4) and record. just watch tv set-up tv video in 1 or 2 or 3 depent on tv settings.[/b][/b][/b][/b]
