The Cellar - View Single Post - DVR/DVD player hook-up

OK, I've read every manual I can find, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I just got digital cable, with DVR (meaning cable box) not long ago. How do I get my DVD player into the system? I know it should be easy (in fact, until the other day I thought I had already accomplished it) but I'm missing something.

Then again, my DVD player (which worked just fine previously and is not that old---have gone through them like crazy) MIGHT not be working. So even if I'm doing it correctly I wouldn't know because nothing plays on the TV.

Argh...anyone have any simple suggestions as to hook-up, before I go out and buy a new DVD player only to find I was just stupid, after all?
