Connecting DVD/VCR players with a C61 or C51 genie bos
I just upgraded to HR 54 genie with a satellite C61 on one other tv and C51 on another. I have DVD/VCR players on both the C61 and C51. I can get the satellite C setups to to play tapes or dvds but cannot figure out how to get them to record. Please help. Do I just need a DIN 10 pin connector and if so where do I connect that on DVD player?

You need the composite 10 pin din cable.
The red/white audio RCA plugs into the red/white audio inputs on the VHS/DVD recorder and the yellow video RCA plug goes to the yellow input on the VHS/DVD recorder.
Are you sure they are VHS/DVD recorders as players don't have inputs to record.
Just in case the C61K mini doesn't have the A/V output jack needed to use the 10 pin din cable.

Thanks everyone. I will try what Shannon suggested. I like to record some things on DVD/VCR as I have vacation home with no access to Genie or internet. Old school I guess!

Hi....I just had to upgrade my modem and satellite dish. I have Genie I believe. Is there any possible way I can use my VCR still to record on as my mom loves it.

Your correct my bad I was referring to the receiver. Right now my mom can't record on her VCR. She has a ton of tapes to tape on. I will check to see which one I have tonight. I know its a black receiver with a blue light when its on with a satellite dish.

Her VCR used to work with DirectTV but once we upgraded we lost the ability. I actually didn't notice it because been so busy but lost power couldnt turn the menu on the VCR to set the clock. I am hoping I can figure out something so my mom can use her VCR. I can use the VCR to watch movies and set clock for her if I switch the TV remove from HDMI to TV. But can't tape on it....

The HR54 and all CXX receivers except the C61K have a output jack labeled A/V so you need the composite 10 pin din cable to connect to the VHS recorder, DTV may still have them or you can buy one online.

Hi...I have an HR54 receiver and my TV I purchased 4 or 5 years ago its not a Smart TV. But, I am trying get my mom's VCR to work with the upgraded satellite and receiver. It used to work on her old receiver but that was 18 years she had that. Does anyone know exactly what I need to buy for a cable and where to hook it up? I can get her VCR to play tapes if I turn the TV remote from HDMI to TV. But can't record

It doesn't work on a C61K as there is no output jack and Amazon shows cheaper ones but yes.
