Just hook up your antenna to the VCR in coax jack and run a coax cable from the VCR out jack to the TV antenna jack. Use RCA cables to hook the audio/video out jacks on the DVD player to the audio/video input jacks on the TV. In order to view the DVD, you will have to use the menu or remote to switch to the "video" input.
