Input problem I have the sanyo ds24205 24" tv and I cant watch movies because i cant change the input, Ive bought a new dvd player but when i attach my dvd player with the tv and try to search the channel the screen shows a message " no signal from antenna check your connections and then press menu ". DVD player has 1 video and 2 audio outputs whereas TV has only 1 video and 1 audio output . The VCR is running fine with the TV I can watch tv fine, but i cant watch movies on DVD player...any suggestions?

Ur tv have a video input holes R,Y,W.?Use the RCA cable R,Y,W to hook up to play the DVD player.Use the tv video 1 input to watch dvd movie.

Try explaining the problem to the manufacturer. They will help. They may change the software if needed. After the guarantee it will become a payable service.

It sounds like you may not be on the correct input selection on the tv to watch the dvd player. Ther are probably three or four inputs to choose from on your tv. whichever input you hooked the dvd player into on the tv is the same imput you have select using the tv's remote control in order to watch movies on the dvd player.

You may have to select a different input on the tv. iIs there an "input" put on the tv remote? If not, try channel down.

Try some new batteries in the remote, or, just roll the batteries in the holder.

Jo have you plugged in the Audio and Video cable in correctly. You need to check that the Video cable is in the corresponding input on the TV

Try two different things 1) on some of these tv's you could try pressing 00 to see if it will put you in input mode or 2) with your remote you should be able to push the input or tv/video to go to the input selection . In both of the above make sure you push the tv button first then step 1 or 2 . Good luck

if you have a sky remote or know someone who does you could try programming it by using one of these codes, try them all one at a time

Hi,
I'm sure you know you need the original remote if there is no menu on the front of the set. I suggest doing a search for customer support online for Sanyo products. There you will find contact numbers to see if one is available. Try "Sanyo remotes" on Google or Yahoo etc. Hope this helps

Hi,

If I understand your posting/description right, you have:
1, a Sanyo TV with only 1 video input;
2. you have a DVD player with only video output; and
3. you have a VCR (which I will assume to be with both video input and output).

Your query, if I may clarify, is how to hook them up so that you need not connect/disconnect any video cable when you want to switch video source from either DVD or VCR.

If that is what you want, then connect:
a. audio/video OUT of your DVD to audio/video IN of the VCR;
b. audio/video OUT of your VCR to audio/video IN of the TV.

The above described connection would allow you to:
i. watch DVD movies on your TV (your VCR must be powered ON and set to Video INput, your TV must be powered ON & set to Video INput);
ii. watch tape movies from your VCR without disconnecting/connecting cables.

Additionally, this arrangement would allow you to record DVD movies in your VCR. Further, connecting your cable/aerial to the RF INput of your VCR would allow you to do the same with a TV/Cable program.

Incidentally, if one of your units (TV, VCR, DVD) would only have a single audio input, it is still possible since some models uses the white audio RCA connector as either left or mono, the red is right. You can also use a 2 female RCA to 1 RCA male adapter as shown below to joint the red/white audio.



Hope this be of some idea/help. Pls post back how things turned out or should you require additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
