Any body know how I can hook up my cable box to my blue ray player so I can record cable?

Well, if you had provided the model numbers of each device or I/O ports on each, I could give a better answer. But for now, I will try my best. Assuming you have enough HDMI cables (gh-Definition Multimedia Interface - single digital inferface cable for both video and audio ) and Component video and audio cables and you are not using a Home theater Receiver (since you didn't mention), below is my solution.

Since this involves HD, I would use HDMI or Component only. - connect your HDTV and the BD player using the HDMI cable - connect the cable box to your HDTV using the HDMI (if available on the cable box) else using the Component video and audio cables (color coded) . - connect the cable box to the BD player using the HDMI (if available on the cable box) else using the Component video and audio cables (color coded).

Note: If you have only one HDMI and one Component output on the cable box, depending the input port on the BD player, connect the TV and BD accordinglying using either HDMI or Component cables. I am sure new HDTVs have more than one HDMI ports. Hope this helps and then connect the power cords and try testing all the connections by playing and recording both cable box and the Blue Ray player.

And also not sure if your Cable box has dual tuner output so that you can watch and record two different channels. Otherwise, you can only watch and record single cable channel.

With dual output, connections will slightl change again depending on the I/O options on cable and BD. If you need more detailed answer, please provide additional info or the model numbers as comments. Does your cable box have multiple outout options, if yes what?

Does your TV have multiple HDMI or component ports, how many? Does your BD player have any input ports? What type?

Or you can post even pictures of the rear sides of each device with ports/ legends showing clearly. Also if your BD player has an ethernet port and supports netflix or any internet browser, you can use this diagram to connect to the home internet router if you have one. And also your cable box needs internet connection.

Step 1The first step is to identify whether or not your television will support a blu-ray player. It is pointless to buy a blu-ray player if you have a standard digital television. You will need an HDTV to enjoy the benefits of a blu-ray player.

Step 2If you have an HDTV then you have read on to this step. Hooking up a blu-ray player is a matter of identifying and knowing the function of cables. First and foremost is the HDMI cable.

This cable is pictured at the intro of this article. This cable provides both picture and sound through 1 single cable. It is also the best cable you can buy in getting a clear high-definition picture.To the average person, you might think it looks similar to an USB cable that is attached to your computer printer.

Similar in looks, but very different. Other cables you can use are component cables. Now don't confuse these with COMPOSITE cables.

COMPONENT cables are a red, green and blue cable. All three of these cables make up the single picture.It splits the picture into 3 colors, red, green and blue. This helps provide a clearer picture.

So when you hook component cables up, you will also need the sound cables. Those are the red and white cables you have commonly seen. Just make sure not to confuse the red video cable with the red AUDIO cable.

This is a common mistake. These are the only two cables that are going to make your blu-ray player perform to its full potential. HDMI and component.

Step 3The next step is to hook the cable from the television to the player. If you are using an HDMI cable, it's as simple as inserting the cable into the back of the blu-ray player and attaching the other end into the HDMI port on the back of the television. Make sure you are putting it in the right way.

If you push slightly and there is resistance, then you are probably trying to put the cable in wrong. Never force a cable. This can damage the cable and or the device you are putting it in.

Step 4If you are using the less expensive component cable method, then you will need to hook up 5 different cables. Yes 5. The red, green and blue cable for the picture, and the red and white cable for the sound.

A simply way to do this is to read the diagrams on both the player and the television. The red, green and blue video cable should be inserted into the "video" portion of the inputs on the back of the television. These inputs are all color-coded for simplicity.

The red and white sound cable should be inserted into the "audio" portion of the television. Step 5Plug in your player and turn on your television. Press the eject button on the player and put in your DVD.

Close the tray. Now you have to find the channel that the player is on. This is a common mistake.

The color-coded holes that you plugged your cables in actually have a channel dedicated for whatever you plug in it. If you look on your remote you should have an "Input" button. Press the input button until you see a picture from the player.

You can now play and navigate the DVD. You have successfully hooked up a blu-ray player.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
