Question:

Can someone please help me with installing 2 VCR's to one TV?

I want to install 2 VCR's to one TV. I have one GoVideo player, and one Panasonic player, going to a Hitachi TV. I want the GoVideo to be on one channel, and the Panasonic to be on another. Note that I have the PS2 going to Input 2. The way I have it setup now is that on Channel 3, there is audio and video, but on Input 1, there is only video. I only want to use Coax, S-Video, and RCA cables. I need specific help, and please tell me what exactly to connect, and where to connect it (in or out). I want one VCR going to one channel, the other VCR going to another channel, and the PS2 having its own channel. I DON'T want it setup for in order for one VCR to go on, the other one has to go on. I want each to have its own channel.

Answer:

Do you want to control your cable channels through each VCR? If so , then first you'll have to split the cable with a 2-way splitter run each output from the splitter into each VCR's input labelled IN FROM ANT. Then coming out of the GoVideo hook another piece of coax from the OUT TO TV connection directly to your tv (you can use ch 3 or 4). Now with the cable screwed into the Panasonic VCR, take a set of RCA cables from the video (yellow) output audio output (red white) to your tv's input 1, audio/ video inputs, being sure to match the colors. You said your PS2 is going to the input 2 of the tv, so you should be all set. Now to select your tv inputs, just hit the TV/VIDEO button on your tv remote choose between the 2 VCRs the PS2.
You can ask the company of your television (such as cablevision) to install the correct channels. They always come by. It worked for me. They might only charge a little bit, nothing much.
television has 2 scart sockets a million is going from digital field to television a million is going from disc participant to television then your television could swap right away to disc mode once you swap the disc participant on or you will could use source button on distant to observe a different participant
