    For HDTV, you have to hook-up your TV with component cables. (assumming your DVR doesn’t have an HDMI connector). Your DVDR won’t have component connectors, you have to connect to the DVR using a composite cable. The sound outputs from the DVR have to be connected via Y adapters to both the DVDR and the TV.

    Hi ShdwWolf99,
    Use the cables that match the output on your DVR. Most likely composite (Red/Yellow/White). Connect them to a composite input on your DVD recorder.
