Please help! How to hook up DVD Recorder

phileth

Hey everyone,
I have a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I have a Denon AVR 1905 receiver and am wanting to hook up a DVD Recorder, but the receiver doesn't have audio or video outputs to DVD. Should I treat the DVD recorder as a VCR and use those hookups? I thought of that, but I already have a VCR. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have attached pictures of the back of the receiver and the DVD recorder. Thanks.

You have four connections for component on that receiver, pick one. Use one of the optical connections for sound.

I was talking about outputs TO the DVD player, so I can record to it.

I don't see why you couldn't swap the DVD and VCR inputs around so DVD can act as a recorder also. Take it that you don't use the VCR for recording also. Will look a little weird as DVD is VCR, VCR is DVD input on receiver but should work.

BTW not sure about the sound, best audio is by digital input from DVD player so the DVD audio would use the RCA outputs instead to record. I'm thinking the receiver could be told to use X digital input for sound. So watching DVD shouldn't be an issue, but the recording maybe an issue?
