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.

I had a problem like that after we moved...I hooked up the dvd player and got no picture...

turns out I had the yellow plug in the white hole and the white plug in the yellow hole...yellow and white look alike in the dark area behind the tv.

I'm seriously electro-challenged and this is probably useless information, but I figured I'd share my "duh!" moment with the hope that it might help in some strange way...

It could be that, since I think it's gotta be something glaringly simple, but you'd think that *one* of the times I had it hooked up, it would have been right.

Thanks!
