Thanks Mark, Robert, Mike.

I get the idea. I used a 3 conducter (plus shield) cable to connect the DVD 
recorder with the remote TV, and am using the 3 rd conductor to send back IR 
remote signals back to the DVD; in short, I can watch, and control the DVD 
from both locations now.

Thanks again, guys.

Regards,

Anand
