Hooking up a DVD player question.

The TV is more confusing (trying to find a picture online). It has the red/white for component 2 (cable is component 1). But there is no yellow.

Red and White are you audio inputs or outputs maybe. They are not for video.

This is what I suspected was at issue.

Hence the need for a man.

This is what the back looks like.

EDIt: On second glance it's not what it looks like. That one would have the yellow. But my TV doesn't have that second part on the right. Argh.

I'll take photos when I'm home tonight!

What about the back of the DVD player?

Use the yellow video input on the far right.

I edited that. Mine doesn't have the red/white/yellow on the far right side.

The back of the DVD player is simply red/white/yellow and that's it. There's no other hook up for it.

They might not be compatible then. If the VCR output only has composite out and the TV does not have any composite video in then you are screwed.

Yes a pic of the rear of BOTH TV and VCR are needed.

Will post pics when I get home.

Well I think that I'm the closest man to her who has posted in this thread and I'm something like 80 miles away.

When I get a man the last thing I'm going to ask him to do is hook up my DVD player. He'll be too busy doing other things. :bump:
