First off, I discovered this site in the last few days. I am very impressed with how it is set up and run (1st class). I have learned a lot already by reading posts and responses on the different forum.
I don't know how to set this new system up to do what I want. I am looking for an easy-to-use set up that allows me to record DVDs on my VCR (so my son can watch Shrek in his room on VCR). I also want to make sure that I get the fullest use out of my new Kenwood HTB - 504, which has Dolby Pro-Logic II.
Here is what I have and what I am getting:
1) 27" Samsung (10-yr old +/-) - has 2 RCA hookups, 1 S-Video, and 1 cable hook up.
2) I have basic cable with no box, just a cable coming in the wall.
3) JVC Stereo VCR - has 1) RCA hookup (left right audios and video), Cable antenna in and out, nothing else.
3) Just purchased Samsung N501 DVD player - has 1 RCA hook-up, 1 S-Video, 1 set of component out, and 1) Digital Audio out (optical and coaxial)
4) Have ordered Kenwood HTB-504 - should receive in two days. This has plenty of connections, including RCA hookups, a several S-Videos, component, etc... certainly more than enough to take care of my set up.
Finally, one other separate question. I currently have two Kenwood tower speakers (10", 4", 2"). Could I use these as my front L/R speakers, and use the smaller front speakers coming with my HTB-504 as my back speakers?
I appreciate any help or advise. I'm now trying to get my supply list for Radio Shack together (speaker wire, S-Video cables, etc.)
Thanks.
