Watching TV with the DVD/VCR unit turned off: How can I resolve this?

If you haven't already, get the splitter & cables. You've described exactly why the TV does nothing when you turn off the VX530. The satellite output is going to the VX530 input which then goes out to the tv. That's the order the feed is going. It's kinda like a bridge. You've got an end, the bridge, & the other end. You can't get from one end to the other without the bridge. Put the splitter on the output from the satellite box & you should be all set. Hope this helps.

Richard,I have the same problem with mine and the only way I was able to fix it is to remove the battery. Also make sure you format the SD card which I have done when the screen goes black and the unit turn off. Read more about the problem in this website. Lots of information regarding dash cam. http://dashcamtalk.com/I ended up buying a G1W and been very happy with it. It is cheaper than the DVR207.

The screen won't play the video when hooked up to tv. I usually close the unit when I hook it up to a tv.

Hi, did you ever figure out why this TV is turning itself off and on? I'm having that same problem.

try to reset the device by unplugging it and plugging it back in. also, make sure you take the tiny protective cover off of the end of the optical cord that plugs into your tv. its small and very hard to see.

An external DVD drive cannot output directly to a television, there's no video output of any kind.

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

I won't be of much help. I inherited the DVD/VCR sans remote because a roommate couldn't pay rent and I wanted to stay seated while I enjoyed his stuff. I just sat on Google until I found what I hoped would work. It was a total fingers-crossed transaction.

I am not sure I am answering your question but here is what happened. I hooked it up from the VCR to the laptop and I could either watch the video on the television via the VCR or I could watch the exact same thing on the laptop simultaneously. Hope that answered your question.

I don't believe I've had that happen. Is it connected directly to your TV, or is it connected to a VCR (or other recording/playing device) and THEN to your TV? If there is an intervening device, make sure that it is turned on and working properly. I suppose you've tried unplugging the Zinwell and plugging it back in? Sorry, that's all I've got.

I can still see video. On menu choose video and turn it all the way down while video is still on.

Mine did the same: Check this...It worked for me & I'm still flying high after a year. A simple way to solve the issue is: 1) Turn on your converter box. 2) As the LED lights flashing, press ""9"" on your converter box remote control. The box will then power off. 3) Turn on the converter box again, and it will direct you back to the initial setup page. 4) Go through the instructions, and you will be able to watch your programs smoothly like before!

Are the stereo ports on your TV "output" only? if they are not "output only" then check your TV settings or use the RCA "in" ports for a DVD or VCR or plug it in to your house stereo.

TV Ears normally hooked to the cable box and the sound coming from the DVD isn't wired through that box. Actually sound can be heard even after the TV is turned off if the modem box is still on. Might try plugging the sound cords into the back of the DVD box in the audio out.

i will try to help, but it is going to be hard for me to explain it all. first off mine works fine , but i have it hooked up to one vhs/dvd combo.an one vhs/ dvd recorder. this is hooked up to about 11 or 12 rca cables an it plays thru the tv, but you have to have this unit pluged in between two vcrs .. i know it is confushing, but you have to figure out the instructions, this might take a while. it took two us to figure this out, but it works fine , great picture an everything. i sure hope this helps. phil

1. Turn on a device and I would have some sound going. 2. On the remote control, press a device key once (for you it would be AUD for audio). it will blink once. 3. Press and hold SETUP until AUD blinks twice, then release SETUP. 4. Now use that four digit code. If it's right AUD will blink twice. 5. Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 4, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If the device does not have a POWER key (e.g., DVD and VCR), press the (Play) key. 6. Once you've found a code that turns your device on and off, test other remote commands for that device. These are the codes for RCA stereo: Amplifier: 0823 Reciever: 1023, 1609, 1254, 1074, 1123, 1390, 1511, 2041 Try these codes if your device is strictly for sound. Try this method, and if it doesn't work, there is another method in the instruction manual called "Searching for your code" if you still have your instruction manual try that.

Turn off the computer, plug the HDMI cable into both the computer and the TV, Turn on the computer.If you still have a problem, try testing the cable on something else like a PS3 or Xbox
