Just had a scientific atlantic explorer 8300 installed by blue ridge cable and now my dvd player philips magnavox dvp3962 player plays but i cant get the picture on the tv. I have a synergy v rt-u64cp-55f remote and i cant find a way to go from cable to video source.

Maybe, the NB672 remote is not an universal remote and the codes aren't the same. It came with select Magnavox DVD/VHS players, including the DV225MG. The manual for the DV225MG is available here: https://www.magnavox.com/en/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=358 . This remote also worked with a few other Funai manufactured DVD/VHS players from around 2008. The Philips DVP3962/37 was also manufactured by Funai but came with the RC-5110 remote control. There are replacement remotes for the Philips unit available, including: https://www.remotecontroldepot.com/DVP3962/37B-Philips-Remote-Control-Genuine and https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Control-PHILIPS-242254901929-DVP398037/dp/B009D5QDXQ .

I hope this helps.

Check your cables. Make sure the green, red, & blue, are in the correct order into the female connections on the back of your tv.

i hope the dvd player has the RCA cables for connecting the input signals to the tv for display and sound. the cables have input jacks at its ends and the same are color coded for easy identification on where to plug it in. with the use of colour insert the yellow pin to the tv yellow input and the same to the dvd and do the same to the white and red terminal and proceed on by turning the channel to AV and play

Try using your remote, access the general setup menu and choose the Disc Unlock option.
Hope this helps!!

I put A dvd in my phillips dvd player dvp 5140 player and it say put in a password i never put a password in it how can i get rid of it

Not a solution, but this will still allow you to watch DVDs until you carefully research customer feedback on DVD players. (Which I didn't do when I bought my DVP3962!)

That happened to me after 6 months. I used the A/V cables, then after a week or so I tried HDMI again. It worked for another 5 months, and is now crazy colors again.

There are several Philips and Magnavox DVD/VCR combos that have sepearate video connectors for the DVD and VCR side. Double-check the yellow composite cable that is plugged into the back of your Magnavox - it should be plugged into an area that says either "DVD/VCR" or "VCR". If you are currently using red, green, and blue video cables, you will need to add a second video cable - a yellow composite would be easiest. The reason for this change is that red/green/blue cables will only operate the DVD side on most Philips/Magnavox players - that is just the way they decided to design them. If you happen to find a model number listed on the back of your combo unit, and have the model number of your television, I can take a second look at it, and tell you exactly which connections to make. Good luck!

Change the source on the Philips/Magnavox to switch between satellite and movies (warning: this particular Philips/Mag cannot process HD Satellite receiver boxes). You can switch sources by using the Magnavox remote and pressing 0-2. Then press ch down until the display says either L1 or L2 - whichever input the satellite is connected to. Another warning: For my instructions to work, you must have a non-HD satellite receiver, and you must run a red, white and yellow cable from the satellite box to the Magnavox instead of a standard coaxial cable wire (and then, of course, run a second set of red, white and yellow cables from the Magnavox to your TV).

Get another cable box, the scientific atlanta are notorios for these type of problems
