Confuzzled
I'm tech savvy so I know what I'm doing usually when it comes to electronics. I also checked this site to make sure I was doing it right (http://www.ehow.com/how_2214499_hook-up-portable-dvd-player.html).
I have a Panasonic portable DVD player model # DVD-LS855. On it is an AV port, in which I plugged in a 3.5 audio/video cable. The other end of the cable splits into 3 (red, white, yellow) cables. I plugged those into the TV (corresponding red, white and yellow ports) labelled Video 2 Input. Then I turned on the TV and set it to TV Video Input 2.
I hear sound but am not seeing any video! I have tried the same thing on TWO different televisions with 3 different 3.5 AV cables!
I called Panasonic technical support and after half an hour on the phone with this guy, he could not figure out the problem and why I'm not seeing the video on my screen.
Anyone have this problem and could offer some help?
Answer
1st, try connecting another source to that Video 2 input on the TV (maybe a cable box or similar). This will determine if the TV is working properly. If it is, try changing around the red, yellow, and white wires. Plug the red wire into the yellow jack, etc... Different DVD players are sometimes wired differently inside.
If that doesn't work, check the settings on the DVD player itself. Look through the menu screens for anything that might be related to the 'A/V Output' or composite output. Maybe it is disabled by default and needs to be turned on.

How do you setup a DVD player to your TV?

An old TV that is... with no AV outlets...I bought my friend a DvD player, not knowing that she has an older model TV, so when we was trying to set it up, her Television dosen't have the Audio/Video outlets built inside of it. She just has the single metal screw for the cable. I was thinking she can get a VCR and hook it up to the TV, then use the outlets from the VCR to hook up the DVD player...until she buys a newer TV. Is there an easier way?
Answer
You may be able to find some sort of converter, but the way I would do it would be just the way you said it: from DVD player to VCR to TV. If your friend doesn't have a VCR, I would see if the converter exists before you start looking for a VCR.
