I moved my entertainment center downstairs, and am having trouble getting everything to work.

I need to get everything to turn on by itself, without having to do the turn on the vcr to get the ps2 on to start the dvd player type ordeal.

I was bored, and wanted to get this done so I made a picture.

Just connect the dots basically.

Maybe you should repost that image. I can only see part of it.

Get a remote that does macros.. That rocks.

Or you could put any switched items on the switched power outlet of your receiver. Although it doesn\'t sound like you have any switched stuff.

Oh, your attachment blows.

I would connect your little skinny black line to your big thick black line and do away with the wobbly green line completely. J/K

All I have to say is.

HUH?

I think we need to take a hit of acid to see the whole picture.

Kind of like that drawing No-One posted awhile back? The one where they had a subject, drawing then he dosed on some acid, and every hour drew a different picture?

Should work now.

Just get a video switchbox and a universal remote that does macros (pressing one button that does multiple commands, like turning on all your components or playing a DVD).

You\'re not runnin your PS2 thru RCA\'s are you? If so - go S-VID at least.

You should probably go ahead and hook your vcr and dvd player to your tv.

They aren\'t much fun by themselves.

No no no!

What I am asking is how am I going to rig this thing up?

Like VCR to the DVD to The Cable Box to the TV. etc.

RCA? I use the RED, WHITE, YELLOW things.

Don;t you have a tuner?

IF not, go get a freaking tuner with at least 4 video inputs. Then plug the output of the tuner into the tv.

Use the tuner as your switcher.

done.

Tuner?

I just remember I had it setup before perfectly fine.

We have these cables that split the input things- is that whatchur talking bout?
