How do I connect both wii and the dvd player to my tv?

Need to connect: Philips Magnavox TV, Cable (Time Warner), Wii, Sony DVD Player and Sony VCR. Any help would be apprecia

  • ted. They are all connected now, but the problem is that I need to use the "Video Source" switcher on the TV to use the DVD or the Wii and they both use the same channel (aux). Can't get the DVD to work - everything else works fine. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Since you have Time Warner, you should be able to call their troubleshooting line and talk to a technician - you probably have a couple of cables switched - something so elementary that you could look for years and never find the problem! They might even come out to your place and check things out for you at no charge - at least they did when I got my new TV a couple of years ago. Actually, I got them to hook everything up for me - TV, VCR, Cable - everything! Seems like it would be worth a phone call. Have a book or magazine handy because you might be on hold for a while! And have you tried to get the DVD to work on another channel - DVD players aren't channel specific like a VCR - they'll play back on any channel. But first - put new batteries in the remote!

To use the DVD (or the WII) I have to hit the "video source" button on the TV which is a switcher that takes you to multiple video sources (TV, AUX, VHS and some other one I can't think of). The WII and the DVD seem to both automatically default to "AUX". So it's not really a (TV) Channel issue. I'll definitely try TWC though - thanks!
