competence eludes me
A couple of weeks ago I asked for help with my electronics. A couple of you suggested an A/B switch for RCA plugs. I had forgotten that my VCR had RCA jacks, so that was the suggestion I needed. I finally got around to hooking it up and I got nothing.
The VCR apparently doesn't put signal out through those jacks. It still works through the coaxial cable, but not the RCA.
Before I tried this, I had to unhook the coax and attach the RCA cords from the DVD player. Now that doesn't even work. I get no picture from the DVD player, even though I have it set up like I did last week.
I imagine there's something simple that I'm missing with regards to the DVD player, and something complex, like some settings on the VCR, but I really have no idea. And since I can no longer even connect the coax to the back of the TV, we are completely without moving pictures.
