I bought a new DVD player, VCR recorder/player to replace a VCR (broken) and a DVD player. When the guy was hooking up my new cable box, he also hooked up my new unit which would not play. He said I needed a V-Source jack so I bought one and a guy hooked it up for me tonight. The Damn VCR/DVD player still won't play. I guess I'm going to be reduced to actually reading the directions. Friggin' Cable Box! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I hate reading directions. I used to not mind but that was before I got my eyes "fixed" and have to wear glasses for closeup that don't quite do what I want. Also before I quit smoking. I have no patience for anything now.
