I have an old TV w/ a VCR hooked up to it. I bought a DVD player/recorder - but it won't play regular DVD's because the VCR scrambles it so I can't record the DVD (which I don't want to do). Is there anyway to change the setting or connections so that I don't have to buy a modulator? Thanks!
Answer
Wish I could give you better news but nope there is no setting or connection you can change that will allow your dvd player to play through your VCR. Your only solution is an rf modulator. RF modulators are not very expensive and can usually be found wherever DVD players are sold. I would check out the discount stores first ( walmart, kmart, target, etc)
qutoe from a web site ....
The reason that a DVD player cannot be connected to a TV in this fashion is due to the fact that DVDs are encoded with anti-copy technology that interferes with the VCR's circuitry. That is why you cannot make a copy of a DVD onto a VCR tape successfully. However, this also prevents you from using the VCR as a "conduit" to pass a DVD signal through to the TV.

Im wanting to buy a dvd player to hook up to my tv and record shows from my satellite. What is a tuner? what's it used for and do I need one?
Answer
The "tuner" is like the dial on your radio which let's you "tune-in" specific stations out of that spectrum of signal thats coming into your receiver (television / dvd player / vcr / cable-box / etc.)
Your television tuner pulls in the signal from your satellite / cable / antenna and is what lets you select channels to watch (to display on the monitor screen). You can have multiple tuners on the same system - each of them selecting a different signal ... but your tv can (typically) only display one channel at a time.
Some DVD players have a built-in tuner so that you can feed your cable / satellite / antenna signal though that device. This allows you to watch television (on your TV monitor) through that device instead of the signal that your tv is receiving. This the same way you can record one show on your VCR while watching a different one on the TV.
