Hair, I've got a really dumb question- problem.

We just bought new equipment- TV, VCR, DVD, and got a DirectTV satellite connection. Now, we bought the VCR a couple months ago- so had that able to tape programs, even with new TV. Then, we got the satellite dish and the DVD.

Well, here's the stupid question. What Setup should my VCR have to be able to tape- ? and...now the really dumb thing, I can't get the DVD to do anything, can't get the drive to open, get no lights nothing. Any ideas?

Help, I'm dying to see the new FotR!

Oh goodness! - What a horrible predicament! - If the DVD won't do anything, then it has no power, methinks. If you can't figure it out from the diagram that came with the DVD player, I think you need to call a talented friend or 15 year old boy to fix it for you. I had to buy an A/B switch to run my cable box and the DVD, and I have a less complex array of electronics than you do.
