RECORD PROBLEM
ON MY INSIGNIA 42"TV,WHEN I INSTAL ADISC, IT WELL SHOW ON THE SCREEN.MY PROBLEM IS I CAN NOT RECORD ON THE DVD OR VCR.
HDMI has copyright protection called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copyright Protection). If the video going to the VCR/DVD recorder is via HDMI, the signal will be blocked and you will record a black screen. The only way to get around this is to use a component or composite cable (maybe s-video also?). Therefore, this is not fault of the cable necessarily, it's an issue with HDMI protection in general.
