Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, pls confirm if below is how it is wired using a coaxial cable and not 3cable RCA to RCA:

  • Charter Digital Cable > DVD/VCR > TV
If yes and your concern is snowy or no signal on the TV screen, might it be that you have to power OFF the DVD/VCR when selecting channels on the TV itself (including when channel setup is being done).

Alternately, you can tune the TV to channel 3 and let the DVD/VCR do the channel selections.

Pls post back results. Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

Heres The Order Exactly As It Should Be. Cable From Wall To The In On The digital cable box. Then From The Out On The Digital Cable Box Run A Cable To The In On The Dvd/Vhs Player. Then From The Out On The Dvd/Vhs Player Run A Cable To The Cable In On Your Tv.
Power OFF the dvd Player Turn On The Cable Box Then Turn On The Tv To Channel 3 Or 4. You Should Have Your Digital Cable Showing On Either Channel 3 or 4. Now Hit Cable On Your Remote And Change Channels.

Need to attach dvd/vcr player to cable box and hdtv

DVD/VCR will take inputs of either component BGR RW or composite YWR and will provide either composite or HDMI output. My suggestion is to take the "best output" from the cable box you can and use the HDMI output to your HDTV. This will take the best your cable will offer and give your TV the best signal to use.
Cable box ------ to DVD/VCR ------ to HDTV.

How do I get the vcr/dvd player to comunicate with the tv

They don't "communicate". Communication implies bidirectional transfer of info. Your TV is just a monitor. You need to feed the VCR/DVD Recorder with what ever you want to record. The TV is just used to verify what you're recording and to watch it playback. Think about the direction of signal... ANT/CABLE ---> VCR ---> TV

After the player boots up the signal goes in and out like it's not a constant feed from the player. I tried using different cables and still the same proble,

You have a vcr hooked up somewhere in between dvd player and tv? VCR have a copyright chip in them that will mess up the picture if they get a signal from a dvd disc or a blu-ray now.

Cannot tape on vcr with new dvd-vcr player

You need to route the signal from the cable modulator to the DVR and then to the TV to be able to view and record. If this is done you will be able to watch what you are recording. When you are not recording, the signal will go through the DVR to the TV.
Please change the cabling and you should have what you want.

No video output from Magnavox VCR (MDV560VR)

You need to tune a chanel on your tv to the vcr signal, using an RF cable (aerial cable between vcr and tv). That is if your tv has an analogue tuner.

Magnavox DVD/VCR Dual

Usually a cable box has a RF (antenna connect) IN (from the external signal) OUT (cable going to the TV_RF in)
Usually one has to place TV_channel on 3 or 6 (my TV ch. 60).
EXTERNAL signal goes in CABLE box RF_in, CABLE box RF_out to the TV (RF_in).
In order to connect DVD/VCR, [IN LINE with cable & TV] just connect the RF_out from CABLE BOX into the RF_in of the DVD/VCR, RF_out of DVD/VCR to the TV RF_in.
