I have an LG flat panel TV, and 3 components hooked to it: DirecTV DVR Reciever, a Sony DVD Surround Sound /speakers and a Phillips DVD Recorder. I was instructed on the connection of all of my components and everything works great- but my DVD recorder. I wanted to be able to make DVD recordings from my DirecTV DVR recordings. Here are my connections: DirecTV: HDMI to TV (HDMI1), AV Red & White to DVD Surround Sound, AV Red,White Yellow to DVD Recorder DVD Surround Sound: HDMI to TV (HDMI2) The power is there to the Phillips DVD Recorder, but the remote will not work and I have changed the Input on my TV to Component 1 and nothing will work. It seems like there should be something connected to the TV? Do I need a 3rd HDMI cord to go to the HDMI 3 slot on my TV? Then how would I play a movie from my DirecTV and record it with the recorder?
