Rca hdtv, dish network, dvr player, receiver, can't make the darn wii work. getting no picture. there must be a setting somewhere that is not in the right position. any clues?
ditto!!! Us too! We have Direct TV / HDTV - Samsung flat screen and can't get our Wii to work either! We need the Geek Squad, but unfortunately, they're on Holiday as is Nintendo, etc. My heart goes out to all of the parents out there with techno difficulties. We're in the same boat. KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
I rencently got a 40' Sony Bravia and had the same issues. All my component ( DVD,VCR, Surround Sound, Cable box) all plugged into the jacks in the back. I thought my Wii would just plug into that area as well.
But on the Sony Bravia, I had 3 jacks on the side. (red,yellow and white) That is where I had to hook up the game.
When I want to play, instead of putting the TV or Cable on a channel 3 or 4, I use the TV's remote and go into the "Input" section and just choose the input that the game is hooked up to.
I have video 1 , Video 2 , component 1,2,3, etc.
Depending on what I want to use, DVD, Wii, VCR I just click on the coresponding input.

When the DISH Network installed hooked up their DVR, did they connect it via HDMI? If so, then it could be a bad HDMI connection. I would bet they simply bypassed your receiver and went straight to the TV, which is why no audio comes out of your receiver. You can test this by turning on your DVR and TV. If you see picture with your receiver OFF, then they bypassed your receiver. You'll need to hook up and HDMI cable from the DVR into the receiver and then out of the receiver to the TV.
You would not be able to use the USB connection on your receiver to get a better picture. To get the best picture on our Standard Definition receivers, I would recommend using Component (RCA) cables.
Hello, this is Matthew Gonzales with DISH Network customer service. A fuzzy/distorted picture can be caused by a couple different things. First of all, although your TV is 1080p HD, the 625 DVR is a standard definition receiver so the picture may not be as clear as expected. You should be getting a clear picture, but it will not be HD. First thing I would do is check the cables, making sure that any cables that you use are secured, and not damaged. If possible you may even want to try replacing cables. You can also try performing a reset on your receiver if you haven't. To reset your receiver, you simply unplug it from its power outlet for about 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Your receiver will reboot, which takes about 5 minutes. If you have performed all of these steps, or continue to have the issues, please email me at [email protected].
Hi there, my name is Mayra Diaz with DISH Network, I just ran into your post, just wanted to make sure that everything is working ok for you. Usually when this issue happens we would replace the HDMI cable first and if that would not work we would replace the DVR receiver. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to post back.
check the setting for the HDMI connection at the Denon you may have to assign the HDMI audio setting also on the front of the Denon while in the DVR mode press the input mode button on the front of the Denon to select auto and if that doesn;t give you sound you will have to connect a cable from the DVR optical.coaxial or analog audio output to the Denon and setup for that type of audio connection
It sounds like you have a pretty new TV. This means that there should be multiple AV jacks in the back for setting up your many components. Plug in the receiver into #1, the Wii into #2, and any other equipment you may have (DVD, VCR etc.) in the same way. You should then use the original TV remote to switch between Video 1, 2, 3 and so one for each compnent you want to use. The button on the remote will be labeled video, tv/video, input select, or input, something like that.
Dish network receiver only have outputs. There are not any inputs on the receiver that would allow this but if your dvd player has an iput source you could run the Dish receiver to it and then the dvd player to the TV. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Thanks for using FIx Ya and let me know if I can further assist you.
Okay I am not positive I have this right as far as the configuration of the system but I will give it a shot. If you run the 722 to the tv using rca's you get the hum. I assume this as there are no inputs on a dish 722 receiver. I can suggest one possible solution which is to buy an rf modulator. It will convert the signal from rca to coax so you can connect as you wish. There are several types out there so ensure you get the one that converts from rca to coax. I would suggest the following configuration: Remove all connections from tv and hook 722 up via rca's to rca input 1 on the tv, check for hum. If it is present now you need a new 722 as it is passing to much power thru the connection. If there is no hum connect your cable and tivo to the tv via whatever inputs you have remaining. Lastly connect the DVD player to another input that is free. You will have to system through your inputs to view the three sources but should not have the hum. I hope this solves your issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya and let me know if I can be of further assistance.
it could be any of the things you listed, the coaxial output on the dvr, where it says channels 3-4 out, the cable , or the coaxial input port on your tv. the dvd player is probably hooked up with rca cables (red white and yellow) so the reason you dont have the issue with it is because its on a different port, one solution would be to hook your receiver up to the tv using this kind of cable, this would also get you stereo sound, you would then watch dish network programming on a video input channel,
if you want to narrow the problem down, i would suggest hooking a vcr up with the cable thats connected to 3-4 out, play a tape and see if the issue continues, if not the issue is with the dvr, if so try a different coax cable, if this resolves the issue, the issue was the cable, if not unfortunately the issue is your tv
