Hook up a DVD player to a Proscan Flat TV?

Question

I have a new Proscan flat screen TV and I just bought a used DVD player. I hooked up the green, blue and red video cables, and I hooked up the white and red audio cables.

The DVD player looks like its playing the DVD, but I don't see it on the screen. I tried turning the TV to channel 3, or channel 6, but no screen or audio image from the DVD is showing...can you help?

Thanks ! ! ! ! ! !

Answer 1

Change your input selection on the TV. Could be Video 1, Video 2, AUX, game or something like that but definitely will not be a numbered channel. This will be a menu function, probably easiest to access from the remote. You may find that the RGB jacks that you plugged in to are labeled with the name of the input.

Answer 2

Proscan Dvd Player

Answer 3

Those RCA jack you are using does not do justis on your new tv. That can only transmit the 280P. Look in your player and see it it provide you a component cable output for the video and also check to see it it provides an optical audio output. The component cable is color coded in Red, Green and Blue, 3 rca jacks. This will provide you a better picture of 480P. Due to the age of your player it might be worthy for you to purchase a blu ray disc player. I would recommend a Panasonic, they are the most reliable player in the market today and always being recommend by Home Theater Magazine. I still use my first generation player model BD-10 which is over 4 years old and played over 300 blu ray disc movies on it. Best Buy carries the Panasonic BD-75 and is priced at around $80. Hope this will help you out.
