What connectors do I need to connect my Samsung DVD-VCR to my Vizio Television

SOURCE: I have connected my DVD/VCR

I had a strange issue yesterday too.

Our Samsung DVD/VCr all in one combo did a similar thing.

I used the HDMI cable for the DVD into the TV input labeled HDMI/DVD. That worked okay.

But the VCR part didn't work.
At one point I got sound but no picture. Using the RCA cables in the back on another input "Component 1"

I was trying to squeeze the best picture out of the player using the S-VHS cable.

I thought it did picture only, but the Plasma seems to be more picky about input sources.

I got everything to work keeping the DVD as a separate HDMI to Plasma TV feed.
The VCR was 3 RCA's Yellow (picture) red and white for stereo sound.

I then reset (toggled through the inputs to "reset" the TV.

It finally worked but I was two days mulling it over.

See if this works for you.
My TV was a Panasonic Plasma, but shouldn't matter.
Skip the S-VHS line and connect the inoputs with the TV off.
You MAy need to go into the input of set up menu on the TV (ours had a wrench as an icon) and set the Component 1 or 2 to "VCR".

Try 0573, 0820, 1932, 0240, or 0045. I also have comcast but just use the remote that came with the recorder/player.You can control all the player functions as well as the up/down volume.

SOURCE: I have a Samsung DVD-VR357. I get no color on VHS.

Are you trying to copy a comercial VHS tape to DVD?
If you are then macrovision copy protection system on either the tape or in the machine is the reason for the loss of colour.
There's not a lot you can do about it. If you want to copy commercial material you will need to transfer it to a computer and get a program to do it. But unless it's unavailable it is cheaper to buy the DVD version I have found and you will get better picture and sound too!
If it does it with a none comercial tape (ie something recorded of the TV). Then it could be a head fault or something else. In which case try cleaning all the heads guides etc first.

SOURCE: Need to reset samsung dvd vr357

With the unit on, hold down the FFW and RW buttons TOGETHER. Do this in front of the unit, NOT ON THE REMOTE CONTROL.

The unit should either open the tray or say REST OK on the front panel.


Hope this helps!!
