Bad cable from dvd to tv, possibly.

 

[FranC]

I have the 3 cable cluster going from DVD to TV. All color coded. I tried 2 different sets.

Ooh, then if your video is now okay, and it its the kind that uses three separate coax, with the big rca connectors, you time to play with the sound cable. That would be separate from the component video cable set, probably a double cable with small connectors, left and right audio inputs to the tv.

 

[FranC]

The 3 cable cluster are push on connectors. Red,white and yellow. I have no video on a DVD just sound. TV stays on the "Video 1 blue screen).

Any chance the dvd has more than 1 video output, accidentally got set to a different one? For instance, I had one that had both the triple coax and a dvi output.

 

[FranC]

I would say no. I was careful when I switched wires but I'll check everything again tomorrow. This is driving me nuts!!

I feel for you Fran I save all of my component manuals so I can look up where everything connects. Here's a simple and stupid question...do you need to have your TV set on a specific channel for your DVD player to work? Like channel 4 or something?

 

[FranC]

Bov I even save all the wires!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally figured out how to get our spare TV working. It has no 3-4 channel switch on it but the other did and it was set right.
This one has a built in DVD player and it wuill be just fine for awhile. I have no desire at all to tackle a new HD TV!!!!!!!

 

[Bovinia]

Fran, if you have time and energy, you can google search your new tv model number and probably find forums and help for your specific problem...things that the owners manual doesn't mention I did that with my plasma HD TV to get answers in plain common folk english LOL!

 

[FranC]

I'll probably have to do that when I get an HD TV.

Anybody know how to pickle eggs?

 

[908Tracy]

Sure do Fran! Here is our family recipe...

Pickled Eggs and Beets
1 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups (or 1 16 oz. can) sliced beets
1 dozen hard boiled eggs

Boil water, vinegar, brown sugar and salt.
After mixture boils, pour over beets.
Add hard boiled eggs.
Marinate 6 hours...(that six hours thing is complete bull....couple days is more like it)

 

[FranC]

Very cool. Thanks Tracy.
