Many TVs have a shared composite and component video input. When you connect a yellow video cable and the input is set to component you get a black and white picture. Go into the TV menu and change the input to composite.
On the back of the TV/VCR unit there is an input for audio & video plugs. These will accept a composite video signal and mono audio signal. I'm not sure if newer roku has these outputs as they are low def only signals. The roku would need to have have red, white & yellow sockets. (Old Roku's had these....) Yellow is video, red and white are L & R audio. Use a y adapter to merge red & white together, and use a standard RCA patch cord to connect the roku composite outputs to the TV VCR inputs.
You didn't say which Roku you have, so I will assume you have a Roku 3 since it's the only one without RCA output jacks (the red, white, and yellow jacks you mention). You can return the Roku 3 and get a Roku 2. You can only attach the Roku to a switching box if 1) the Roku has the RCA outputs and your switch has A/V inputs. If you DO have the Roku 3, then you may be able to purchase a HDMI to RCA cable from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8m/dp/B002ZUI68G
Which way did you connect the roku? HDMI or with the yellow,red and white RCA cable? If you used the HDMI cable, look on the TV to see what number is on the input port. Select that number when you use the input button on the tv or the remote. Same goes for the RCA cables. Each input has a number next to it.
Yes these are the same yellow white and red ports that you would use to connect your DVD player. I believe this television has one port in the front and one in the back. I might be wrong but I believe video 1 is in the back and video 2 is in the front. If you have tried video 1 and video 2 making sure you have pressed the video/input button to select the proper one after connecting your Roku then you have done everything properly. Make sure to try a different RCA cable to make sure it is not the cable that is causing the problem. Also try the Roku on a different television because if it is working on a different television with the same RCA cable then you'll know that it isn't compatible with this particular television.
Make sure you select the correct input for your device. If you are using RCA cables then select the RGB option on your inputs, or it may RCA as a connection. If you are using HDMI then make sure that is selected.
good day. to connect your any DVD player to any TV screen always remember this color code
from DVD back part:
yellow = video out
red/blue/green( in a row) = component video out ( this can only be used for screen with component video inputs)
Black = digital audio ( rarely use unless) Red and white (in a row) = Audio output (left and right audio)
where to connect from TV screen.
Locate where A/V INPUTS (audio/video socket) from your TV screen, you can see it either at the BACK/SIDE or somtimes in FRONT of TV screen , having marked as "AV1"AV2"AV3' .
Once you found TV input, you must first have RCA cable (color code cable to connect player to screen) then connect the RCA cable at the back of your DVD player, simply follow color code
RCA yellow marked cable = DVD yellow socket RCA RED and WHITE marked cable = DVD RED and white socket (second row for your player)
then connect the other end of the RCA cable to TV screen, first select which input where you gonna place the DVD player ( either AV1, Av2 or Av3 if do have multiple inputs)
once decided which INPUT to connect the player. ex. if you select AV1 as input there would be 3socket on its row (yellow/red/white)
now connect the other end of RCA cable to the screen by following the same color code:
RCA yellow cable = TV screen A/V1 input yellow socket RCA RED and White = TV screen A/V1 input red and white socket.
