Hmmm, interesting. I just checked the manual and page 26 gives a very specific wiring chart as to how to set up the component input. Then on page 39 it shows the input settings to match the wiring you selected.I really prefer HDMI as the best way to go. I have everything feeding the receiver with HDMI and one output to the TV. All of my device selections are made through the receiver and it works like a charm. I use their APP for my Apple iPad to control the receiver.For the record, I have not used the component video inputs on this receiver so it is hard to speak from actual experience. Hmmm, interesting.

make sure the reciever has been set to "component input" for the DVD input. You can find this in the setup screen for the reciever. It may be set to HDMI and therefore does not know to search for signal on the component inputs.

Make sure you go to the input setup in the menu and choose the video input associated with the input "DVD" etc and choose component not HDMI

Do you have component put to your TV? If you have something connected to the receiver using component cables you have to have component cables ran to the TV from the receiver also otherwise you won't have picture just sound

You need to go into the on screen (TV) menu and set the DVD input to use the component input. I know that the BD input cannot be changed from HDMI. See page 39 of the operating instructions, Input Setup Menu. You can download a PDF from Pioneer. FYI read the whole thing as there are so many features in this receiver, you will never get the full experience without understanding all the settings. I spent about a week tweaking the auto MCACC setting for levels and equalization. Well worth the time.

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

You shouldn't have trouble with any player, not sure what the issue is. I have mine hooked up to HDMI2 port on the TV.When I use my player I need to change the port within the input to HDMI2 everytime I use the player.

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

One more question - with DVD movies it seems like we can only hear the dialog in the center channel speaker...any way to fix this?thanks,-kevin

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

I can't get this fixed either! I've had many 5.1 dvd players and this issue is new. Did anyone get fixed???

The fact that you still have a picture means the bulb is working fine. You problem is probably just some settings that were inadvertently lost or changed. If I were you I would start by finding the answers to these two questions:1) Are all the inputs to the TV still assigned and functional? (Does the DVD player work; does the antenna or cable box work, etc.) This could indicate whether or not a reset occurred. If you find things named differently than before the bulb change then there are probably other settings that need to be changed to get your HD picture working.2) Was the image format inadvertently changed? There is a button on the remote that can do this and it could be the only issue.Hope that helps. The fact that you still have a picture means the bulb is working fine.

Hello Gail, I bought mine several years ago for my wife. She uses it at work and to this day she has yet to have any problems with it. She watches it everyday at work during lunch. My suggestion is to make sure you have it on the right settings for watching TV,DVD,and aux input, if you try all those and the picture still doesn't work then you may need to send it in to Coby. The only other thing that I may say is the region setting may be off but, only if the picture doesn't work for the DVD only, if you aren't getting any picture on any of the input methods there may be some internal malfunction going on. Hope this helps. Hello Gail, I bought mine several years ago for my wife. She uses it at work and to this day she has yet to have any problems with it. She watches it everyday at work during lunch.

This player only has an HDMI output. Does your TV have component video inputs? These would be three RCA jacks that are blue, red and green. If so, you can get an HDMI to component video adapter. I've never used one and have no idea how well they work. If you just have a yellow RCA video input jack, then you'd be better off buying a non-blu ray player, as you can't get high definition video through the single yellow video input. Hope this helps!

I don't know. I haven't been able to get the dvd part of the tv to work. My son - the electronics "expert" - has not been able to get it to work. He says I should contact the manufacturer. I bought the tv online, it's not worth my time and effort to dig" just to get the dvd player to work, so I just don't use the dvd part. The tv is fine. I can probably contact Amazon, but I have not -- too much trouble for such a small amount of money. The moral of the story is, "You get what you pay for" ???? ...or maybe I should contact Amazon. I don't think a stand-alone dvd/blue player costs that much. The price (even for just a tv) was good, I thought.

I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV. However, I do know that if you insert the DVD into the TV's DVD slot incorrectly it will be rejected and the "no Disc" message appears.A DVD has to be inserted with the shiny silver side facing forward toward the TV screen, that means that the label on the DVD is facing away from you. Also be sure you are not using a Blu-ray Disc as this type is not supported by the TV's DVD Player. I am assuming that you have tried several different DVD discs and all were rejected. I am also assuming that these DVD's are originals and not copies. For if they are copies they may have been copied using the wrong format. I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV.

Our DVD player is now 7 months old and it too has the problem where the screen is black. It still plays through the line out to a TV but nothing is on the screen. We don't know how this happened as it is used at gently at home. I've tried playing with the screen (opening and closing and a bit of swiveling) and it does come back but only for a short time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

This is straight out of my manual that came with the TV. Go to your source menu and scroll down to DVD. Select the DVD mode and then Insert your DVD. The data side of the Disc has to face towards the front of the unit. The player will load the Disc automatically and there will be an on screen indication letting you know that the Disc is reading properly. The DVD will switch to play mode automatically. The on screen Disc Menu will display for your selection. I'E' Play, Rewind, Fast forward, Etc. I have two of these 15 inch Curtis TV'S and both DVD players work just fine. If you still have problems with the DVD you might have to send the TV back for an exchange or a refund. Good luck!

you should check how each component needs for tv and to stereo receiver. hdmi now will send sound to tv so you can eliminate red, white and yellow cables. DVD should have hdmi, component, supervhs, or video connection. listed in order of best reception. Most of your "stuff" should still go through your stereo if you have it. For best advise, get a neighbor that's smart to check it out. That's what my neighbors do. No neighbors,be more specific in your equipment for best advice.
