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'm still checking on your suggestion about the input selection. There's a menu item that sounds suspiciously like that (sorry no sandwiches), but that remote is missing, so I'll have to do some more digging.

Thanks, I'll keep you posted.

Yah -- that is a seperate 'tuner', or lack thereof, and so you have to switch to that 'channel' (often called LINEIN, L1, or something similar).

Good luck finding a way to do it, or getting a universal remote with the function.
