With a VCR/DVD combo, it needs to be connected between the receiver and TV. Connect the receiver via coax or RCA cable to the VCR/DVD on the inpurt port and then from the VCR/DVD from the output to the TV. The VCR/DVD player (if TV 1) would be on channel 3/4 (usually 3) and the TV would be on channel 3/4 (depending on the VCR). If TV 2, the VCR/DVD player would be on channel 60/73 and the TV on channel 3/4, depeding on teh plyaer. I hope this helps.
