Same Problem

Dec 14, 2007

-   I am struggling with my dvd 5.1 home theater system. Everything works EXCEPT the dvd.. I can see the blue dvd symbol but it can't "read" the dvd. an rf modulator used to work for this prior to Tivo. No I have a pretty nice plasma hoping the updated tech would solve the prob...yeah, no! I feel as though I have tried everywhich way, but apparently I have not. My 5.1, the direct tv box, the super surge protector and the tv...I have adopted the cable jungle. Any tips?-   hapi chk

Karri,

I do not have the photo of the back, but attached is a general wiring diagram for any Audio-video Home theater system. If you have a Home Theater Receiver, then hook it up as the diagram. If not, hook it up per the comments in the diagram. This is how I hooked up my ONKYO HT system with my SONY Combo DVD recorder and my Mitsubishi TV.

One thing to note on Combos, is that the VCR Tape section will not play through the High Definition connections (HDMI, and Digital Audio). You have to use the older method of Audio-Video (AV) cables or the Co-axial antenna cables.

You can ask more questions if there is any confusions.

Hope this helps you. Good luck.
