I cannot get an older JVC DVD player to work on this TV. Trying component connection and it does not recognize DVD output. Any ideas? Thanks.

what does the TV say when you switch to the component input? Does the DVD player have composite (yellow/red/white) output or HDMI?

Had the Direct TV man hock it up since he was at the house to give us a new box for the HD. Didn't see what he did but it works.

Using your remote, go to Input select menu, use up/down arrow to go to component/video. Input button on remote is second row from the top, on the left. Hope that works for you.

Why would you want to hook up a DVD player to your laptop and then run an HDMI cable to the TV? I don't even think that would work, althought I've never tried. Wouldn't it make more sense to a.) Hook up the DVD player directly to the TV and play DVDs like most people do or b.) Play a DVD on your laptop and then connect the laptop to the TV via an HDMI cable. Just my thoughts as I'm not sure of all the underlying reasoning.

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.

It will only work with JVC products that are set up to accept or have that option .The unit will say which one to use in the book or you can research online . Works great , hope this helps

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!

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

We absolutely love ours. Every disc we bought has worked. You have to make sure it is the CD+G type. Try different Input options on your tv. If you have done all of this, then its most likely bad.

As long as your TV has the appropriate inputs, you should be fine. Check the back of your TV and look for either a composite video input (yellow jack) or a component video input (red, blue, and green jacks). With each of those there will also be an audio input (red and white jacks). The player will come with the composite cable and audio cables. Use the component input if you have it (you'll need to buy the cables separately) for better picture quality. If you only have composite just use the cables that come with the player. Once you're all hooked up, just use the input button on your TV's remote to select the one that your player is hooked up to. One nice thing about this Sony player is that it also has an input button on its remote as well as volume buttons, and once you set it up to work with your TV, you won't even need the TV remote when you want to watch a DVD. If you only have a coax connection on your TV though, you will need to purchase an RF modulator, which will convert the DVD connections to a coax connection. Just be aware that picture quality will go down and you will get mono sound. Maybe not a big deal if you're just using it with a basic TV in the spare room. Hope this helps - good luck with your DVD player!

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.

Don't bother with the yellow cable. It only does the lowest quality video. Buy a component cable, if your dvd player has red.green.blue output and connect to the TV. Also make the audio connection between the two. Download the user manual from Toshiba for whatever else you need.

I haven't tried it but I see there are audio & video inputs on the back of the TV so you probably should be able to. You might ask JVC

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

The description for this item says your display system must support component video signal output function in order for the image to display properly. I use the cord to connect a dvd player to a projector and it works wonderfully. Sounds like you have a compatibility issue.

I also have been considering this TV and wondering about the HDMI 1.0 issue. Since so far no knowledgable techie has chirped in I did a little of my own research, and here is what I found out. This all comes from an industry web site hdmi.org ------------------------ The initial HDMI 1.0 specification was released in December 2002. Version 1.1 was released in May 2004. Version 1.2 was released in August of 2005. Version 1.2a was released in December of 2005. Version 1.3 was released in June of 2006. Q. What functionality was added to each specification? The following provides an overview of major functionality added to each version of HDMI HDMI 1.1 Support for DVD Audio ------------------------------- So my guess is that like the poster said it will not take the audio from his dvd player in the hdmi input, but I assume he could bring the audio in through other inputs assuming his dvd player has other outputs. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can elaborte on this, meanwhile I think I'll move on and look for a set that has at least a HDMI 1.1 interface since using a DVD player is one thing I want to do with it.

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!

I use an HDMI cord. You might want to look into a convertor box. It took me buying and sending back 7 different DVD player's before I went back to this one. Just a warning This is the 2nd time I bought this DVD player as all the other's didn't have what I wanted or needed.
