Can I record from a dvd player to dvd recorder?

I mean instead of recording just straight tv.


Answer
Assuming the tape/DVD that you're trying to copy is not copy protected or copyright material, yes you can. It is a very simple process of hooking up the outputs of the player to the inputs of the recorder. I would recommend that you use the SVHS video output (if there is one) and the two red/white audio outputs into their respective inputs. Put your source on to play, put the recorder on record. You may need to locate the "line in" for the recorder to see the video and audio signals you want to record.

I tape my daughters basketball games and burn them to DVD. Sometimes I need to make copies. It is an easy thing.

If you're trying to copy a commercial DVD, such as a movie, you will find this won't work. Thus the term "copy protected." There are methods, using a computer, that will overcome copy protection, but breaking any method of DRM (digital rights management) is illegal.

Good luck!

How to hook-up my DVD recorder/player to my stereo?

I recently upgraded my old Sony DVD recorder to a real nice Panasonic. Unfortunately, there are no open audio outputs to connect to the stereo. (My old Sony had two separate outputs). How can it be connected to the receiver?? Can the output signal be split?? Thanks!!


Answer
The DVD player should have a set of red & white audio ports. You can connect these to your stereo while connecting your choice of video cable(s) to the TV. You will only get audio from the stereo, not your TV.

The player also has multiple sets of outputs and sends its video and audio signals to all of them. So you could, for instance, have a HDMI cable to your HDTV for upscaled video, and an optical audio or digital audio cable to your receiver for surround sound (which is what I did.) Or any combination of cables going any which way to your heart's content.

If you really want stereo audio to both your TV and your receiver, you can just use a Y-cable, available at any Radio Shack. You'll need 1 Y-cable for each RCA audio port.
