How do I set a video as a picture?

How do you set up/connect an Insignia converter box when there is a video/DVD box involved?

  • I have the converter box and i was able to get it work on a regular TV (no video/DVD box). When i try to set it up using the instructions in the User Guide for it for the video/DVD wiring, i can't get it to work. There is no picture and so i try tuning my TV to video 1 (which is the input/Output station it says i should use in the tv user guide). That doesn't work so i also tried video 2 and video 3 but none of them work. I do not have cable or DTV of anything, just regular broadcasting. I need to know what i am doing wrong or Just how do u set it up in general with a video/DVD box) Thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    1) connect your antenna to the RF input on the Insignia 2) then connect the RCA cables (yellow, red and white) from the output on the insignia to the video 1 input on the tv 3) change the channel on the tv to video 1 (you can also use video2 or 3 it doesn't matter, assuming you connected to video2 or 3 in step 2) 4) connect the dvd to an unused video input (2, 3 or 1) if you did that and you don't get a picture, there might be some problem with the Insignia output, rca cable, or tv inputs 5) after you get that working you can also connect a 75 ohm cable from the Insignia RF out to your tv antenna in and you can watch digital tv when your tv is tuned to channel 3 or 4 (i think you hold down the setup button on the remote to switch which channel it outputs to). If you have an old insignia then you won't be able to watch analog tv if you do this. If you have a new Insignia (with APT, antenna pass through) then everything should work.

DVD format is VOB, you have to convert your video to DVD compatible video at first, otherwise standard DVD player can not read and play it. If you don't know how to do that, I'd recommend this all-in-one DVD Creator to you, I always use it to convert and burn movie to DVD to play on my home TV, it's easy to use and works pretty well, if you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-conve…

Do you want to record to the video recorder? Just connect A/V from the convertor to A/V in on the recorder, and select that input on the recorder to record. Run RF from the convertor to RF in on the recorder, RF out on the recorder tot he TV. If your TV has A/V input, you may want to connect that to the A/V out on the recorder (VCR/DVD unit).
