[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help with dvd player

Could someone tell me why I can't hook my dvd player directly to my tv and it play a movie ? Do I need to buy a RF modulator. I have a sharp aquos - new plasma tv. You would think I could just hook it up with the rca cables- but when I do - nothing is what happens. I can hook a game system directly up with no problems.

Anyone have any answers ?

Thanks for the help.....

I'm going to assume that you are selecting the correct AV channel via the remote? ETA: Mine has to be set to "AV" for RCA leads... Sat+ is set to "EXT 1"......The surround / DVD is set to "EXT 2"....

My Philips Plasma has about 7 AV's, some with sub settings...

I really struggled to get all my Sat / DVD / Multiplayer / Console connected at the same time as it doesn't auto switch when each is activated

Thanks for the help- I'll check the setting and see if that helps....

Could you provide the make and model# for your player?

Thanks for the help- I didn't know that I had to set the tv to movie in the AV mode. When I programed input #2 to movie mode my DVD player worked. Thanks for the help- never would have figured that one out.

Thanks again....
