Hi -
Got my parents a DVD player to keep them up with the times. They have an old Sony TV (that has no S-Video and one input). Currently they have a non-stereo VCR hooked up to the input of the TV.
I currently have the DVD running through the VCR (I know, not supposed to do that). If the DVD cables are plugged into the VCR, you can watch movies fine, but the VCR is so old you can't switch between lines - so you have to unplug the DVD cables to be able to watch cable or VHS tapes.
Are there any splitters or some other option I can use for them?
I'm planning on upgrading their TV at Christmas time, so it shouldn't be an issue after that, but I'm looking for suggestions in the mean time.
Thanks!

Yes there are. Just go to Radio Shack and you should be able to find what you're looking for there.
