Hey, @Groet1. Check the steps below on how to setup a VCR to your Genie device:- Use Composite AV cables (red, white, yellow) to hook receivers to VCR
- Run the AV cables from the output on the receiver to the input on the back of the VCR
- Most VCRs have AV inputs in the front or back (usually labeled Line 1 or Line 2)
If you need further assistance in the set-up process, contact us at DIRECTV Customer Service - Phone Support & Chat John, DIRECTV Community Team

What DirecTV satellite box do you have? Not all of them have the composite video and analog audio outputs to feed to a VCR.

Specifically, what model of "Genie" are you trying to connect?
