i need instructions, how to wire a roku3 to mdr513h and then to my TV, This is so i can record and watch at a later time. Is this possible with this.

I don't believe it is possible because both devices connect via HDMI cables and do not interface

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

You don't have to run an ethernet cable to your Roku, - But you can if you choose to. It also works withwireless internet. I prefer to run an ethernet cable from my router because the signal where I live is betterwith the cable as opposed to fighting the prime times of wireless use in my neighborhood.This model allows for an ethernet input. Most of newer models of Roku are wireless only. Look at what the model offers as far as connectivity before you choose. But, you can't go wrong with a Roku. They are robust and reliable.

I had two of these. The first one went out after a couple of years. I looked at some other possibilities, but went with another of these. Both set up easily and worked great. The second one is still working fine.I don't know what Roku3 is so can not respond to that portion.

Try unplugging your Roku for about a minute, and plugging it back in!, I don't have a Roku 3, but my remote worked right out of the box. Hope this helps!

I believe you should connect your Roku directly to your TV. Then use your TV remote to switch to either HDMI 1, HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 (just depends on how many HDMI inputs you have on your TV).

I got the cable guy to do it for me I was lucky it was complicated. I tried to do it again on my own with another remote but no luck. Hope your luck is better than mine.

This is how mine is setup; VCR connected to TV so I can view VHS tapes on TV channel 3. My VCR out w/grex to my Recorder in, my recorder out to TV - I hooked to AV but you can connect w/HDMI - I don't record TV so my cable connects to my TV, but, just like the old days of recording VHS, if you were trying to record TV you would have to connect your cable through the recorder and watch on the HDMI port that the recorder is set to and run your channels through the recorder. If you have satellite or cable TV you will need a special decoder as paid services generally won't run straight through your VCR or DVD recorders, not a problem if you have antenna.

SURE. Do not use the HDMI output. Buy two RCA Y-Adapters such as Amazon listing "Tsunami RCA701-Y1 RCA 1/Female to 2/Male Y Connector Cable (6 Inch, Gray)" for less than $3 each. Buy 1 Dual RCA Female to male extension cable such as Amazon listing "Cblwhl 2 RCA Male / 2 RCA Female, Cable Extension 12 ft" for under $6. Both are Amazon Prime items so if you are a Prime member they will ship free. So the cables will be about $12. Connect both the red and white RCA plugs from the ROKU cable to the female jack on the 2 Y-adapters. Now each audio cable terminates in two male RCA plugs. Plug one of the RCA plugs from each adapter into the color corresponding red and white jack on the TV input. You now have one terminal remaining on each Y-Cable. Connect the extension cable to the remaining available color corresponding plugs on the Y-adapter and then connect to the audio amplifier/receiver aux/tape inputs, again of the corresponding color. You will now have the audio fed to both the TV and the amp/receiver. With TV turned on. but with the TV volume all the way down you can setup the Pandora to run and get the levels correct through the audio system. Then turn the TV off and the audio will continue to be fed to the audio amp/receiver. You can then also use the tv speakers like a center channel with the amp/receiver adding extra range when watching TV. If you used an HDMI cable, the Roku might go into standby when you turned off the TV. I'm not sure whether or not it would. The ROKU may eventually go into standby anyway even when connected using the component video cables. However this will work until it goes into standby. You probably should turn off or disable the screen saver feature in the ROKU settings also.

Roku 3 has some sort of security protection for the movie industry which doesn't allow conversion to component or composite video elements. The sound will be fine but no picture. To prove this get some other HDMI source (like a DVD player) and feed via the converter into your TV and you will see it works.

I recently purchased the adapter. It does not work with Roku 3 as the connector is different. It does not fit in.

We just move the Roku from TV to TV depending on which TV we want to use it on at the time. Just unplug from power and the TV and walk to the other TV and plug in the Roku.

I have never taken my MDR515H [MDR535H] out of my apartment. I am not available with hotel services. If they have conventional cable then you can route it through the MDR. You would need to take a couple of cables with you - a coaxial to connect from the MDR to the TV and an HDMI cable for an HD output to the TV.

All you have to do is split the signal. Get a dual splitter, hook one up to the box and the other to a recorder. You can watch TV on say channel 3-1 and record on 13-1. I tried it and it works. Just get the instructions on line. Really simple set up

You can also get an HDMI splitter. 1-in and 2 or 3-out. That's what I did with my cable box to split it to 2 TVs. They are available pretty cheap here on Amazon. Also would save you a good bundle of money.As other have said, the Roku is very easy to move also, as it is about the size of a hockey puck and weighs even less. If you're moving it from ont TV to the other, and are in the same WiFi network, its just a matter of unplugging it from one TV and plugging it into another. If not, it takes no more than 2 minutes to change your network VIA setup.Hope that helped.

Yes, Alan, I think so. I have the MDR533H HDD & DVR. Page 56 of the Owner's Manual is titled "Dubbing" and the first subheading is "Connecting to an External Device Using a DV cable" Contact Magnavox at 1-800-605-8610 or visit online help at www.magnavox.com/support...Good luck! -Tom B.

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv
