Apex screen is grey with white zig zags. Son took out white and yellow cables. Tried all the cable connectors on the back of the tv- nothing. I could get direct tv sound when cable white and yellow are plugged into front gaming connectors - but no picture

Kate what did you plug the cables into I suspect it was a grey cable with a red , white and yellow plugs. If I am correct this cable should be plugged into the AV1 or AV2 input port of your television. Try changing the input source to AV1 or AV2 Check it is plugged to AV1 on the Television and not into Conponent input !
What is the mediacom connected to? If the antenna connector, (usually screw-on type F) then set it to TV. Does Mediacom need to have a box between the cable and the TV? Sometimes cable systems do not use standard television signals, and a box is required to display on a TV.
If mediacom has a box, and cables are connected to (commonly red, white, and yellow) RCA connectors, then AV 1 or 2, depending on which connectors you plugged them into on the TV.
The outside antenna gets threaded onto the RF connector that says antenna in. Then either connect another RF cable to the tv and select ch 3 or 4 (switch on back of box) or use the yellow,red and white cable to the tv. If you used the three cables use the remote to select the input you used. Just advance the channels until you find the picture. If you used the RF cable, just tune to channel 3 or 4 whichever you used. Now do a channel scan with the remote that came with the converter. Once that is done you will have to use that same remote to change digital channels.
Hello
If you have connected the red, white, and yello video cable connection right correct to the respective pins; both at DVD and TV end, by selecting the input to Video-1 or Video-2, you must get the logo of the DVD player on the TV screen. Please not that whether you have 'Power ON' the DVD player. If the connections are good, the logo must be ther. Otherwise check the continuity of the RCA cable, of it may have damaged[shorted]. Try replace with an other cable. OK.
If you are unable to view video on your television set, the issue may be that the TV's video input selection does not match.
The TV input source must match how the equipment for example DVD is connected to the TV.
* Plug the RCA cables(red,yellow,white cord) to the designated ports. * Grab your Apex TV remote and attempt to cycle through the video inputs by hitting the "Input" button at the top of the remote multiple times. * If you have used a DVD player or similar external device recently, you may have neglected to switch the video input back to the one assigned to your TV programming. * Devices such as DVD players often reside on the AV 1 or AV 2 video input, and failure to switch back off of one of these will result in a dark, soundless screen when attempting to view cable or satellite television. * Cycle through the inputs until you land on your cable/satellite input once more, which should result in an immediate restoration of picture and sound. * If it does not, approach your Apex TV and look over the A/V cable connections. The A/V cable has two sets of prongs, one on either of its ends. Each prong is either red, yellow and white, and plugs into corresponding A/V ports on the back of the Apex TV and the back of your cable or satellite box. Make sure the ports and prongs are color-corresponding and have not been switched up.
your' TV is in VIDEO mode... connect your cable or sat. or DVD player or cable box etc. to TV using the VIDEO jacks>>>>red , white , and Yellow wires....picture should be on TV now.
other ways to get a picture also....changing TV from VIDEO mode TO TUNER mode...etc
You must have a monaural (mono) TV even though it looks like you have speakers on each side. The VCR has stereo audio output red=right white=left yellow=video. Ideally you would buy a mixing tee to add the left and right signal. Or if your VCR supports it you can set it to mono output. Otherwise, just use the white (left) cable to feed the mono input (white) and of course the yellow to yellow for video. Just ignore the red wire or lightly tape over it to avoid any short. Best,
