Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

What about using a VCR?

My system has the coax cable running into a VCR, and then I use the RCA (well, actually S-Video because it's a S-VHS machine) jack to connect to my A/V preamp. I have the stereo outputs connected to my audio preamp, but I could have connected them to the A/V preamp just as easily.

You could keep running the coax directly into the TV if you wished by utilizing a high quality splitter, switch, or distribution amplifier. I've been using a powered Radio Shack 4-way distribution amplifier in my system for over ten years and have been quite satisfied with its performance.

I have no direct experience with cable boxes, so please accept my apologies if my advice is not germane to the situation.
