How to Connect a DVD Recorder and an HDTV on the Same Input
DVD recorders function in a similar fashion to DVRs (digital video recorders) in that they record data from your television programming onto a built-in hard drive. However, once the information is stored onto a DVD recorder's hard drive, it is possible to burn the information onto an inserted DVD. You may use a DVD recorder with just about any television, including an HDTV.

Insert the appropriate cable into the "Out" port(s) on the DVD recorder. If using an HDMI cable, insert it into the "HDMI-Out" port. If using component cables, insert the red, blue and green video cables into the "Component Out" ports and the red and white RCA audio cables into the "Audio-Out" ports.
