RCS Scenium TV plays fine, DVR works as well. DVD player sound works, no piv=cture. Screen shows "unusable signal". Switched DVD players, none work. Changed wires, no change. Help...

is the yellow jack plugged into video out (DVD) to video in (TV).......is the TV on ch 3? if there is a switch on the back of player is it switched to 3 also?

could be a setting on your dig-cable box routing audio elsewhere try that hopefully its a simple solution to your problem good luck

check the connection cable to the tv, unplug this an replug it to see if this helps.
if you used a cheaper HDMI cable for example the connectors are very wobbly and often make poor contact....

After it is hooked up, it should have a white screen saying "searching for satellite signal." After fifteen or twenty minutes, it will go to a black screen saying the same thing in a blue box. Once you are there, you can prerss the LIST button on the remote and record and copy your selected shows. This is assuming you have a newer DVR. Model R15 or higher. thanks keep updated

if u have placed your DVD next to your tv ... just maintain distance between then and check out

leave coaxcil cable on dvr ;unplug the colored wires from the dvr output and plug them into the output of the recorder;plug a second set of colored wires into output of dvr and into input of recorder;be sure to set recorder input to proper setting on recorder (input one or two) now you should be able to record what your dvr plays or just use it as a dvd player ; you will need to have all three on to watch tv though.

put the dvd player on the same channel as you set your Tv when wathing direct tv. and try recording

if you are using rca push on cable yellow,red ,white set to your A,V audio,video channel

when recordining you will be changing channels on the direct tv box

do you have a manual for dvd player read that really good that might help.

I think this is due to wrong Audio settings.
Try to change audio setting as Stereo/Right or Left/5.1 from the Audio setup of the Menu

Hi If your t.v.has built-in blue screen when there is no signal, then the DVD may have been accidentally switched to progressive scan mode, or defaults to that setting if new. If your T.V. is not capable of displaying in progressive scan mode, you will just get a blue screen. If you have an older tv, without blue screen, then connect it to that, and if you get a black and white split screen when you turn on the DVD, then progressive scan is the problem. Check the manual for the DVD player for the procedure to get out of that mode, and it should then work. If you still have no video, and you are using the yellow composite video jack on the back of your DVD player, then it must be brought in for service. Good Luck!
