ZENITH TV, no picture

I have a Zenith TV (model SM2573BT). Whenever I turn it on, there is no picture, neither for the Cable, Video 1, or Video 2. I can still see what channel it is on, the menu, and all of that, but nothing is coming through otherwise. I can still hear sound though. What's wrong?

Sounds like the vertical output IC causing the CRTs to blank you would still have audio and on screen display. Try resoldering the vertical output IC.Thats a common problem

I have the Zenith XBV443. I'm trying to copy saved programs from my dvr on my tv to dvd discs. My neighbor has a simular model yet we can't find out why I'm unable to do the same. What do you think is the...

Hi there,

The Zenith player/recorder will be able to record to DVD from an external input such as a PVR. The most likely reasons you are unable to record successfully are:

1. The TV / DVR is not connected to the Zenith recorder correctly. You need a separate cable for recording. You cannot record using the cable that is connected for playback of DVD discs.
2. The TV / DVR does not have "VIDEO OUT" sockets
3. You have not selected the correct external input on the Zenith recorder

If you can let me know the brand and model number of your TV / DVR and how it is connected to the Zenith DVD recorder, I can let you know why it isn't working, how to make it work, and even draw you a setup diagram, if required. It's very difficult to give you the correct answer without these details.

You Zenith DVD recorder will record from the DVR - the real question is, can the DVR send video to the Zenith DVD recorder . . . ?

Regards,
BElectric

Zenith tv turns itself off. like time after time. but if you have it disconnected from the satellite and just turn it on with no antenna it stays on will not turn itself off. i tried plugging it directly...

I'd report this to the Satellite provider. It would seem that the shortcoming lies with them, not you or your TV.

Problem programming Zenith Digital TV Converter DTT901 remote.

Be sure that your TV is set to channel 3 or 4 if you are using the RF cable or Video 1, etc if using the Audio/Video cable. The Installation Guide should appear. The "improved" picture that you are seeing is simply the analog throughput, not the digital conversion.

I get Horizontal lines on my Zenith Model 1QB32B44W when I use the componet connection from cable box to TV. If I use the S-Video cnnection from Cable box to TV it is fine. How do I get rid of these lines....

Take out the comb filter and replace the surface mount electrolytic capacitors (I think there were around 4 of them) on the comb filter and put it back in the motherboard. MCM sells a kit If I'm not mistaken with capacitors that fix this problem as well as the picture in picture problem which these same sets have.
