That would get you nowhere because signals do not pass from the TV to the video, only from the video to the TV. To record signals from the camera, you have to connnect the camera to the recorder. Once you connect the camera to the telly you can watch the pictures, but that's all. If you connect the camera to the VCR you pass the signal from the camera, through the VCR, and on to the TV that way. The VCR records the signal as it passes through.
