connect a VCR up to one these things and record old VCR tapes to DVD before MacroVision? I have it hooked up right with composite video cables and I have the Cable coming in hooked up In the INPUT on the DVD Recorder it will record cable tv fine, I can't get it to see the VCR, I have the VCR on AV-1 on the TV.. Any basic advice, I have some old tapes from the 80's I would like to put on DVD..Thanks guys.

If your primary purpose is the transfer of VHS tape to DVD disk, Macrovision will rear its ugly head. You should look at the LiteOn/ILO units. With ILO its the 04 [Which has a hack] not The 05 which can not be hacked.

Basic connections To watch tv and record, asumes TV has 2 inputs
The VCR has to be before the DVD in the line up

1. Cable box to TV input. [watch tv and record in background]
Using the RCA jacks of all units [and/or RF on the cable box]
for 2 inputs to the TV.

2. Cable box to VCR input.
VCR output to DVD input. [rear jacks]
DVD output to TV inpit

The VCR signal source will depend on how you have to set up the VCR for the cable service. if using the RCA jacks the VCR most likely be line 1
The ILO input source would be Rear 2
The TV input source will be the input on the TV input you chose.

If your system won't handle 2 inputs
use #2 connection. the VCD and DVD will have to be on when vewing
the TV. Using VCR Tape to DVD you will not be able to view the TV.
