Holy Cow!!!

I was speaking to my neighbor one day last month and I was saying "they don't make VCRs any more, and I love VCRs. And he said "oh you want VCRs, I have two or three, I don't use them, they are in the basement, we have all DVRs in my house."

Well!!!! I said "don't you dare throw any of them away". He then went inside and gave me one of them saying "I'll give you the others, they are buried under my stuff". We'll do this later".

I was so excited to have ONE vcr (A beautiful JVC), that who cared when I got the others.

I immediately hooked it up, and have been using it ever since.

So the other night when I came home from visiting a friend, I walk into the house and Alan greets me with "Oh John just gave you a DVD player and he says he'll give you the other VCRs later on, he just found this one".

I went over to the table and there was this Magnavox DVD player (with remote).

Now you have to undersand. I HAVE NEVER HAD A REAL DVD PLAYER in my home. Only that little portable one.

So I went on youtube and tried to find a tutorial showing how to hook it up.

Well!!!! all I saw was Home entertainment systems, and AV1 and Video imput this. I just shook my head.

I just went into the living room saying to myself "melody, you can do this". I know what RCA cables are (because I watched the youtube videos) and I had these cables in my home.

Five minutes ago, I hooked up the rca cables to the front of the tv in the living room. The red into red, etc. etc.

I turned the dvd player around and saw many different inputs, two red things, green things, yellow things, etc.

I said 'now how am I going to know which goes where? There were two video plugs, there was an S video thing.

I just took my best educated guess.

AND IT WORKED.

You should have seen the expression on my face when I put in a dvd player, put my tv to Video 2 (which I had also learned from watching the tutorial on youtube).

AND IT PLAYED.

Thank goodness for youtube.

And this forum.

lol

I NOW CAN WATCH DVD's with Alan , in the living room. We each have our own headphones (each equipped with in-line volume control) so we can put the volume as low or as high as needed.

what a neet setup. AND NOW WE CAN WATCH MOVIES.

It takes SO LITTLE to make me happy.

lol lol lol
