Sony RDR-GX300 DVD Recorder
Routing Audio through DVD Recorder
I just purchased this DVD-Recorder and think it is a good product.  However there is one oddity I found, which I don't know is common with DVD-Recorders.  When routing the cable box through a VCR and then into my stereo, I am not required to have the VCR ON to play my cable box(in this case, my cable input)through my stereo.  This was my original setup. <br /> <br />However, I can't seem to hear my audio from the cable box(Motorola with DVR)through the Stereo (Yamaha) UNLESS the DVD Recorder is ON.  I have no problems with video or audio from the DVD recorder into the stereo, nor any problems with cable box playing through my normal TV audio.  But I cannot get the Cable audio through the stereo unless the DVD-R is on. <br /> <br />Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
