box ipc4100 version, [ yes version ]
Again, you CANNOT use the coax cable to connect the VCR. It is now digital and the VCR will not recognize it. If you look at the back of the VMS 4100 you'll see an HDMI jack, and a red, white yellow set of jacks. Those are what you connect to the red, white and yellow INPUT jacks of the VCR. You then select either composite, or AV input on the VCR. You should have a picture and sound you can then record.
The top image is the back of the VMS 4100, look on the left and you'll see the yellow, white and red jacks you need to hook up to the INPUT jacks on theVCR. The middle picture is the back of the IPC 4100. The small jack to the right of the HDMI connector is for an AV adaptor that came with the IPC. The coax connection is for data , not an analog signal the VCR can use. The bottom picture is of a generic Panasonic VCR. If there isn't a red, then just use the white and yellow INPUT jacks to connect the Fios box to the VCR. The adaptor is like the picture at the bottom with a short cable between the jacks pictured.

also what is stb ?
sorry to be a pain, many thanks, rob
STB is the Fios box (set top box). To post pictures, click on the camera icon above the content box.
Click on "choose file" and find the picture you want to post. Then click on upload. When it is uploaded click done and the picture will appear in the message.
Part of the problem is we don't know anything about your VCR or your TV. Is the TV a modern flat-panel TV or an old tube TV? Are you hooking up the Fios box to the TV directly via an HDMI cable or just through the VCR? Are you trying to use coax cable for the hookup? Can you tell us the make and model of the TV? All the details help, that's why dexman asked for a picture. You really don't need to use a VCR to record shows, the Fios box has a built in recorder (DVR) that you use to record and playback shows. That means you only need the VCR to playback old tapes. We need to know the kind of jacks that are on the back of your TV to know how to hook up your equipment.

Did you see my post above on posting a picture? If you have an old Sony TV, is it a tube TV or an old flat panel? does it have a yellow, red and white RCA input on the back? Or a yellow and white RCA input? Or is it only coax? Either way you have to take the OUTPUT of the VCR and send it to the TV either using a yellow ,red, white RCA cable or a yellow, white RCA cable. IF you use coax out from the VCR you have to tune the TV to either channel 3 or 4 , which ever the VCR is set to output. The input of the VCR HAS TO BE hooked up to the Fios box using the red, white yellow adaptor if you are using the IPC (mini) box. You then choose AV input on the VCR. That is VERY important. The coax connections on the Fios boxes are INPUTS for data, not outputs for TVs to use. The diagram shows you what I am talking about. Either use coax from the VCR to the TV and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4, or use red, yellow ,white to the TV and use the AV input on the TV. Do not use both methods.
hello all located my cable to upload picture here we are , please ask questions and I will try and answer, many thanks, rob
