What channel do I set the TV on so that the dvd will play

Perhaps your dvd player output is set for channel 3 so you have to select that channel for the dvd player to play on your tv. Some older analog tvs have a separate input for dvd on the back or front. In that case you have to select that setting from the tv menu

on the remote there are various button at the top to control the functions. these include tv dvd cable etc.
When the remote is set on tv all the functions on the tv work together with the functions of dvd such as play stop etc.all except power channel up channel down etc.
THE REMOTE MAY JUST BE SET TO DVD JUST PRESS TV AT THE TOP OF THE REMOTE OR YOU MAY NEED TO SET IT BACK AND THE PROBLEM IS FIXED!!! THE USER MANUAL SHOWS YOU HOW TO SET IT.

Assuming your DVD player is properly connected to the video and audio inputs of the TV, you should be able to press the "input select" button on the remote and toggle between TV and DVD. A copy of your manual is here: http://www.emersonaudiovideo.com/pdf/manual/CR202EM9.pdf

With cable input connected to "RF in"on rear of unit make sure vidoe input is set to "Tuner". This will show up on the TV screen. Change channels numerically or using up/down arrow keys on DVR remote. Note there is a slight pause between changing channels.You probably will have to "autoscan" for channel setup/etc. If you say your TV set is old; it probabaly is equiped with coax
connection only/set TV channel to "3" or "4". when yot opt to play vcr/dvd it will override your
cable channel selected. Hope this helps!

The picture signal cable should be attached to the TV or maybe the channel is set wrong...Try channel 3 - 4 or channel 90 on TV

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in response. Your concern was just brought to my attention.

To your recording, based on your second posting (and would appreciate corrective information where applicable), your system is:

• Cable provider > Cable Decoder Box > Panasonic DMR-E75V > TV (equipment setup)
• single coaxial cable > yellow, red & white > yellow, red & white (wiring setup).

With your indulgence, a couple clarifying questions:

• to watch the Panasonic when you play DVDs, to what channel or source or setting must the TV be set to?
• to record a TV program/channel, to what channel or source or setting must the Panasonic be set to?
• what is the brand and model of your Cable Decoder Box?

Initially, pls try:

• play any known good DVD disc/movie. power on the TV and set to watch said movie;
• without changing anything on the TV, STOP the playing of the DVD;
• try changing channel on your Cable Decoder Box's remote;
• pls post back result(s); or
• do the above steps again but before changing the channels on the decoder box's remote;
• try changing/cycling through the different input/source of the Panasonic DVD;
• again post back result(s).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

if your DVD player supports a HDMI cable a single cable is enough for both audio and video channel.

but both your player and TV must support HDMI.

are you using a/v inputs or composite inputs .

Yes. You definitely need to set your TV on a specific channel - GAME, in your case. Check your TV manual how to get to that GAME channel.
