How Do You Hook A VCR Up To DIRECTV?
Connecting your VCR and your DIRECTV is a lesson in signal flow. Knowing where the signal is coming from and where you want it to end up is the key to hooking these items up. With these steps, you can hook your VCR and satellite up together in no time. Place your satellite receiver and your VCR where you want them to go. It’s easier to run cables from their permanent locations than it is to put them where you want them when the cables are already attached. They don’t have to be secured where they will go, but they should be loosely placed in their locations. Leave enough room for you to reach the backs of the VCR and the satellite receiver, and enough room to have access to the inputs and outputs. Plug in the basics. This means making sure that your satellite receiver is plugged in and receiving a signal from the dish. The VCR can also be plugged in at this point. Identify where your cables will go. Both the VCR and the DIRECTV receiver will have jacks labeled as IN and OUT on the back
