How do I hook up my VCR/DVD player to my tv?

Hook up video to RCA TV from LG DVD Player?

  • I've had these two systems hooked up before working fine, I just moved to University and I don't know what happened, maybe I haven't hooked up the cords properly or what. I don't have either of the instruction manuals with me, I don't know the names of the system or the TV just that the TV is RCA and the DVD player is LG. I also don't have a remote for my TV.. The settings for my TV are TV, AV, YPBPR and HDMI. I've tried all these settings and they don't seem to be working. I'm pretty positive my video out cord is in the right spot (yellow) of my DVD player and the video in spot of my TV but it doesn't want to work for me, any suggestions? I've been at this for hours!

  • Answer:

    Model numbers should usually be on little labels often near the power cord. Often in moving, items get shaken up, and a connection can go bad. The best thing is first trying to figure out if it is the DVD player or the TV. Does anyone else around have something you can borrow. Even computers have video-out. The TV does have HDMI and you are using non-HDMI on the DVD player. If it is the DVD player, replacements are relatively low cost and most have HDMI. So, instead of keep playing with connections, try to borrow or work with someone about plugging into your TV to ckeck it, and plugging the DVD player into a different TV Note: Could also be a short or open in the cable. Assure you tried a different cable. Even if not the right color or exact type of cable, it would show if the original cable is a problem.

The yellow cable (RCA) is for video only you also need a cable for the audio (red and white rca jack for stereo). You also need to change the source input on your tv when you want to what the dvd movie. There is a manual operation on your tv for switching source input if you do not have the remote control. Hope this will help you out.
