I need directions to hook up recorder/player. A  cable with
yellow/white/red plugins need to be hooked up but I don't know how. I
need explicit directions for someone who knows nothing about this.
Cannot find someone locally to hook it up. It  is a Toshiba DR-2

Howdy bob905-ga,

What model of Dish Network receiver do you have?  It might be indicated
on the front of the receiver, or on a label on the back of the receiver.
This will determine the best way to connect your DR-2 DVD recorder.

Thanks!  denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher

Howdy Bob!

Greatly appreciate the model number of the Toshiba recorder.

If you could look at the satellite (Dish Network) box and post the model
number off that as well (it will be either on the front of the satellite
receiver and/or on the back on a label of the satellite box) we should
be all set to get you hooked up.  Thanks!

Howdy Bob,

Greatly appreciate the latest information!  Here are the next steps.

On the back of the Dish Network (stellite receiver box) you will find,
among other connections, three connectors, two under "Audio" and one
under "Video."  Take the cable you have and plug one of the red plugs
into the "Audio - R" plug.  Plug the white plug from the same end as
the red one you used into the "Audio - L" plug.  Then plug the yellow
connector from that same end into the "Video" plug.

Take the other side of plugs, and plug them into the following places
on your Toshiba DR-2 DVD recorder.  You will see a section on the back
of the DR-2 marked "Input1" and to the left of that marking will be
four plugs marked R, L, Video and S-Video.  Ignore the S-Video plug.
Plug the red plug into the "R" plug, the white plug into the "L" plug
and the yellow plug into the "Video" plug.

You no doubt currently have a cable that runs from the satellite box
to your television.  You should disconnect this cable (not the cable
that runs from the satellite box to the wall!) from the back of the
satellite box (leave the other end connected to your television) and
connect it to the plug marked "RF OUT (TO TV)" in the "VHF/UHF" area
on the back of your Toshiba DR-2.  Turn everything on and make sure
you have a picture on the television.

See how the above goes for you, and post back if you would please.

Thanks!  denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher

The above search lead me to the user manual for the Dish Network 2700,
which has the wiring diagrams needed.

I also went to the Toshiba web site, finally found the installation
guide for the DR-2 DVD Recorder, and figured out it's wiring diagrams.

If you go to the above, click on "Resources" then "Installation Guide"
to find the instructions.
