The Zenith manuals page won't respond, so I couldn't get a manual for
your TV to determine what inputs it has. Based on some other pages
that had general specs, it appears the TV has at least 2 A/V inputs
and one is a component vid in. The key is you should hook up separate
A/V outputs from the combo player and recorder to the TV and hook up
an A/V out from the combo player to the recorder.

You'll want to hook up the component vid out from the combo player or
recorder to the TV, depending on which one will be your primary unit
for playing DVDs. If only one unit has progressive scan, then that's
the one you want to hook up with component vid.

Assuming you don't have a cable or satellite box, the TV has at least
2 separate A/V ins and you use the combo as the primary player, then
this is one way to hook it up:

- Broadcast source: Split cable TV or OTA antenna with a 75 ohm 2 way
splitter, with one leg to the combo player antenna in and the other to
the recorder antenna in.

- Combo player: RF out to TV antenna in. Component vid out to TV
component in. Split L/R analog audio out (red and white phono plugs)
with 2 phono plug y-jacks with one leg to TV audio input corresponding
to the component in and the other to the recorder input. Composite or
S-Vid (preferred) to recorder vid input.

- Recorder: Composite or S-Vid (preferred) out to TV in. L/R analog
audio out to corresponding TV audio in.

You should be able to record on the units separately from broadcast as
well as view them separately on the TV by switching the source on the
TV. You should also be able to record non-copy protected content on
the recorder that is played on the combo player.
