    I tried the above solution to no avail. My TV model is GE 25gt520.
    The menu options don't allow the AV input to be selected.
    Thanks for trying.

I had the same problem. I hooked up the DVD player and then got into the set up. I used the add/erase feature to go through all of the channels. At channel 91, I saw the logo for the dvd player. I added that channel and now the dvd player works.

How to get audio video button on rca tv without remote

Hello
If the TV has a "Menu" button at its front panel, you can select its menu, and can select the input selection. If not, you can't do with wthout a remote control. Just buy an RCA universal remote control. If there is no Menu Button at the front panel of the tV, there is no other way to get AV selection to your TV. OK.

Can't find button on tv to change source in order to play dvd

I'm assuming that you do not have access to the remote for the TV. If you do, you can simply press "INPUT" on the remote.

If you have no remote, try this:
Press the "MENU" button on the TV.
Press "CH Down" until "Channel" is highlighted, and "MENU" to select it.
Press "CH Down" to highlight "List and Labels", and "MENU" to select it.
Press "CH Down" to go below channel 1, you should see "FRNT" displayed.
Press "MENU" to get out of the Menu system.
You should now be seeing whatever is plugged into your front connectors.

Simply pressing one of the channel buttons will switch back to normal TV mode. I could find no faster way to access the front connectors without using the remote.
