You are asking a very open-ended question, as every different component can be made hundreds of different ways, and since you left no information regarding the models of each you have this is more like a best-guess. This is what I will assume: - You want to hear everything out the stereo speakers. - You want to record cable TV shows - The VCR has at least 3 RCA inputs. - We are not utilizing any high end connections (ie optical lines) - Your cable ready TV has both a RCA out and RCA in. You will need to purchase two RCA splitters from your local Radio Shack. They will either be solid or the wire type, and look like a Y with one male end and two female ends. Your VCR is the workhorse in this scenario. -TV- 1. Incoming coaxial cable to coax input. 2. RCA-in to RCA-out on VCR. 3. Put in splitters on both white and red RCA-out. 4. Connect one side of each red and white splitter, and the yellow RCA-out to the RCA-in on VCR. 5. Connect the other side of red and white splitters to any RCA input on stereo. (TV-in, Aux-in, whatever you want) -DVD Player- 1. Connect RCA-out to RCA-in on VCR -PS2- 1. Connect RCA-out to RCA-in on VCR If done right you will be able to record DVD's, TV shows, and even PS2 games, and anything you do will be heard through the stereo speakers. This setup requires alot of channel changing. The TV will work fine on the regular channels, then will be switched to aux-input for everything else. Then the VCR will bounce between aux-inputs for the DVD and PS2. You will also have to bounce the VCR to the third aux-input to record TV shows. Keep in mind you can watch TV while recording DVD's on the VCR, but if you want to record a show from TV you are stuck watching it. Like I said before, this is a "best-guess" since you gave very little information. If your VCR has less RCA's, or your TV doesnt have RCA's you very well may have to purchase other components to make it work. Cheers! -SC
