Connecting a Video player to an old TV using a VCR

I have a friend that has an old TV set and wants to see videos using a
CD video player. Since the TV doesn't have a video input, the signal
must be converted toRF.
Can't I use the modulator on the VCR and tune the TV to channel 3/4 ?
I know they sell modulators for this application but, does she need
one?

Thanks

That should be fine, just select the alternate input on the VCR ( via
the remote ctrl)

 

that probably won't work because of video copy protection. Keeps
people from copying dvd's on their vcr.

Good point Ray
That's probably the reason I can't get it to work. Must try with a DVD
without copy protection.
