Can someone tell me how to put a picture on here?

OK, here is a dumb question. I moved my tv,dvd/vcr cablebox and now it's now working. I don't get a picture from the dvd/vcr. I put it back the same way but nothing! Can someone tell me step by step how to hook this up again. Thks

• Answer:

  Could be a connection problem, or even a configuration problem. If you are using SCART/Peritel connectors, try wiggling them when mated as sometimes the contacts can be poor. Watch the screen whilst your doing this - tell tale flickers and fizzles are a clue. Obviously, make sure everything is on and out of standby! Finally, check that your TV is set to AUX/EXT signal input (often channel 0, or AV on the menu or remote) - some older sets do not automatically switch to the aux input. If you are not sure about the order of cables, it's best to dig out the manual (or the quick start guide) for any of the equipment - often there is a schematic diagram of cables. If your TV has two AV inputs, try connecting the cable to one, and the DVD to the other. If it only as one input, connect this to the cable box 'TV' connector, and the DVD to the cable box 'VCR' connector. (Note that you may have to turn off the cable box to view the DVD this way.) Failing this, get a friend to have a look, preferably one who has a complex AV setup at home!
