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

Bruce B

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.

But if I try to play it on a second play only dvd I get an error message to effect "This disc may not play on this dvd. Eject disc".This dvd player works fine with other discs. What is wrong ?Is there any way I can adjust the 2nd machine ?

Answer
Some DVD recorders require that you 'finalise' the disc when all your recordings are finished. Also, not all DVD players/recorders will recognise the same type/manufacturer of DVD media.

I have just noticed my 8 year old DVD player/recorder isn't playing DVDs! On top of that, it doesn't pick up the digital TV signal. I quite often plug my media converter into my TV to watch our downloaded shows.
What does everyone suggest as a replacement? I don't want to go overboard with the price, but for the right product I don't really mind.

I have a sansui dvd/vhs player/recorder and the remote wont work, Can I buy a universal remote to make it work?

Olivia

This sansui dvd/vhs player/ recorder is over 10 yrs old but I mainly use it to play dvds but all of a sudden the remote has been acting weird. I put new batteries in and it started to work fine but now it wont even work. The player works fine but the remote doesn't. Can I buy a universal remote to make it work?

Answer
You can, but you will likely lose some functions. I have a Phillips universal remote that was much easier to set up than others that I've used. I can't find a model number or part number on it. It was $14.95 at CVS. It automatically searches for the appropriate codes.

I am working with a magnavox dvd player/recorder mwr 10D6 and am using it to record church services by camera. After I finish recording the service on a blank dvdr disc, I remove it from the player and put it in my laptop afterwards, and I get a message saying the disc is blank (which is something I see as odd because it has video burned to it). The remote for this player has no finalize button. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer
If you wanna make a DVD that will work on a standard DVD player, you will need a DVD burning tool to do this. Just copy the movie to a DVD disc, it will actually not read by DVD players.

The best and most reliable DVD burning tool that I've ever used is a tool called DVD Creator. It's able to burn all kinds of videos to DVD disc. After that, you can view the DVD on DVD player. It also lets you edit videos and create DVD menus. Easy to use and professional.

You should really give it a try. You may check out at:

Should I keep my analogue dvd player or buy a new one?

Sheldon

Is it worth keeping my analogue dvd player/recorder which I will have to connect to a set top box or buy a good new dvd player/recorder?
I want everything that I have to be functional and enjoying what technology has to offer. I also have a dvd player with surround sound, an older stereo system with record player that I want all connected and working. Is this possible?

Answer
Replace your set-top box with a DVR. It should not cost much more per month.

Plan to get rid of your "dvd player with surround sound" because these $299 box systems are disk players - thats all. It wont take sound from your set-top box, or your HDTV. We get 20+ questions per week around here from people who bought these - then discover what they gave up for the low price.

Connecting Everything: Yes - it's possible but you need a few new devices.
