It's a Sony VCR which I have the DVD player plugged in to the
video/L&R audio RCA inputs on rear. I can't figure how to switch
to that input. My other VCR's have the "line in" below channel one
(showing "L"), but L is not appear anywhere. I can get "video" to
appear on the display, but that works like a VCR/TV funtion. I do
not have the orig. remote...using a universal. Does this model
require the orig. remote to get "line in"?.
Follow Ups:
Plugging a DVD player into the VCR is not the way to go. The Macrovision copy protection will create havoc with the VCR's US Congress mandated always-ON AGC circuit (Automatic Gain Control, which tracks the luma level in the video signal). The picture will get bright, dark and/or do other undesireable things.The only ways around going this route are to either use a pre-'90s VCR (they either had no AGC circuit or one that could be turned OFF), a DVD player that has a hack to disable the Macrovision signal (most Taiwanese/Chinese players do) or use a copied DVD that has the Macrovision signal stripped out of the digital stream (by using a program like DVDDecrypter).
If the real problem is (a) that the display you want to use doesn't have enough (RCA) audio/video inputs, then get an inexpensive switcher or (b) that the display only has a coax input, then get an inexpensive audio/video modulator. Either solution is available from Wal-Mart for under $20 or even less via ebay if you're not in a hurry.
Coner, providing your model number might help. Anyway, I have a very old Sony (something-585-something - don't have it in front of me). Both the remote and the face of the unit have a button labeled Input Select. That button switches between all the inputs (Coax, Line 1, Line 2).Good luck.
