Getting my DVD player to work with my VCR?

I just purchased a Memorex MVD2022 DCD player as well as a Sanyo VWM-900 VCR. I plan to set them up in my family room with a television set that has no input/output capabilities. I currently have the VCR hooked up and am using it to change the channels on the TV. The VCR is also playing tapes without a problem. What I’m trying to do now is connect the DVD player. I’m assuming that I can connect it through the VCR? The red, white, yellow cable came with the DVD player. How do I connect the DVD player to the VCR so that it will work? I’m not having any luck. Thank you.
