I am trying to direct the A/V signal from my digital cable box through my Onkyo TX-SR705 A/V Receiver to my Toshiba DVD Video Recorder (RD-XS32SU), but have not been successful. I can get the A/V signal from the cable box to my HDTV through the A/V receiver. I am connected from the digital cable box to the A/V receiver through an HDMI cable. I am able to play recorded A/V from the DVD recorder through the A/V receiver and my HDTV. Does anyone have a solution? Someone told me that this Toshiba DVD recorder cannot process a digital signal. Is that true? Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Are you trying to record cable programming with your DVD recorder? If so, you might want to try using component cable as HDMI does have a copy protection circuit that might be preventing your recorder from receiving the image. Just try to connect the cable box component (RED/GREEN/BLUE) cable to your DVD recorder. If that doesn't work, then try to change everything over to component cables. HDMI is a great cable to use but it the only required to display 1080p images and the only current source that uses 1080p is a bluray player. Everything else, such as your cable box and DVD recorder is 1080i and component cables are perfect for it.
