I can understand having problems playing DVDs though the VCR since they are macrovision encoded, but if you can see a DVD with plugging into the TV, you should be able to see the game system too. You may need to explain a bit more as in what you are actually seeing as the problem. Are you getting nothing at all? Are you getting the sound of the game and no picture? Is the picture all garbled? Are you getting porn? That may not be a problem... Let us know more!!!
