Almost all newer DVD Players have an HDMI port... and so do the Flat Screen TV's. This is the best and easiest way to hook up components to your TV. Check the back of your DVD Player and look for a Horizontal Port that says HDMI (out). On your TV, look for the same (HDMI "in"). You can go to Walmart and buy an HDMI Cable, plug it in to the DVD Player "out" and then into the TV HDMI "in" (if there are multiple ports - always start with the one marked " HDMI -1, etc...). This is all you have to do. In your TV Remote Menu Settings... there will be a list of your "Ports"; e.g. HDMI-1, HDMI-2, etc...). All you have to do is turn your DVD Player and TV on, choose the HDMI-1 Input, and play your movie. Good luck and enjoy!
RCA cable connectors (red,white, yellow) are usually for an analog setup. You could still use these for "component" setup, but know the difference with color stamps as follows:
Component color stamps are "blue, green, red" ( blue is marked Pb, green is marked Y, red is marked Pr)
RCA color stamps your using are "red, white, yellow"
Here are the proper hook up method for "Component" using your "RCA" connectors:
On both the TV and DVD component setup:
Plug the red RCA fitting in the component port marked "Pr (red)
Plug the white RCA fitting in the component port marked "Pb (blue)
Plug the yellow RCA fitting in the component port marked "Y (green)
Be sure this setup is the same for the TV's component input ports, and the DVD's component output ports.
i-Note:
For optimum picture quality you may want to purchase component cables as the gage is thicker giving better impedance match resulting in better picture and sound quality.
Your signal may be low. Try chaning the channels and adjusting your antenna. I hope this solution is helpful. Please take a moment to rate this solution.
i guess there a built in dvd player on the set and it could play most DVD format. but if you wish to use another dvd player hook up the dvd on the tv video output (DVD) to video input (TV) audio output to audio input the find the auxiliary button from either the tv or dvd
try turning the channel up or down with the tv remote to input 1 or 2 depending on which one is being used for the dvd player. tv should use input 1. dvd should be on input 2.
when turning the channel set it to show the dvd screen, then go up 1. if it doesn't show, return and go down 1.
If you were using RCA cables, you may have had them hooked up wrong. I know this may sound like an easy fix, but I still hook them up wrong from time to time. Especially if there are more than one set of RCA hook-ups on the back of the unit. If you were using a S-video cable you shouldn't have to use RCA cables, if you had both hooked up that could cause your DVD/VCR unit to not work properly and only get a partial feed to the TV. I hope this helps a little. Good luck.
