The small prongs on the red, yellow, white av input cord have gotten broken off and are stuck in the slots when the tv was moved. How can I get them out?
Thanks, Bob! Don't have one of those extractors, but I'm sure going to try the needle nose. Wonder if tweezers are "skinny" enough to get in there? Will sure give it a try. Really appreciate your response!

I use a screw extractor,
a tapered threaded tool that binds on the inside of bolts et al, you wind it inside the broken end and pull gently.
where the item is a press fit and very small, needle nose pliers may provide sufficient grip.

The red, white and yellow plugs from the reciever will plug into the red, white and green input plugs on the TV. Be sure to select "AV" mode on the TV and not "HDMI". The Green plug on component inputs is the Video input. Otherwise you can find an adaptor that will go to your hdmi ports via the rca jacks!!

Are you using an AV cord between your VCR and TV or a standard coax? If you are using a standard coax then first make sure the tape is functioning properly. Next try a new coax and if the problem persist there might be an issue with the coax output/input on the VCR or TV itself.
If you are using the AV inputs (red,white and yellow) you want to remember that the red and white are for audio and the yellow is for video. So in this case you want to
Make sure the tape is functioning correct. Old tapes that have seen their better days will produce audio but no video and vice versa.
Check the connection of your yellow AV input (audio). Make sure it goes from the same output on your VCR to the same input on your TV as the audio cords are running to.
If this checks out then try a different audio cord and see if this fixes it.
If not then try using a different output on the VCR and input on the TV all together.
At this point it is possible one of the AV audio jacks are bad either on the VCR or on the TV.
Run a three color AV cord (red, white, yellow) from the output of your surround sound receiver to the "DVD" input on your TV. The yellow is for video and the red and white are for audio so make sure you plug the tips into the same color ports. Now look at where you put the 3 color cord (AV cord) into the TV, which "input" did you use? Video 1 or Video 2 more than likely. Now turn your TV on and in the menu settings select the same video input you hooked the AV cords into on the back of your TV. This will get your theater set up. The remote is slow to process after you push buttons so give the remote a few seconds to respond.
If you are unable to view video on your television set, the issue may be that the TV's video input selection does not match.
The TV input source must match how the equipment for example DVD is connected to the TV.
* Plug the RCA cables(red,yellow,white cord) to the designated ports. * Grab your Apex TV remote and attempt to cycle through the video inputs by hitting the "Input" button at the top of the remote multiple times. * If you have used a DVD player or similar external device recently, you may have neglected to switch the video input back to the one assigned to your TV programming. * Devices such as DVD players often reside on the AV 1 or AV 2 video input, and failure to switch back off of one of these will result in a dark, soundless screen when attempting to view cable or satellite television. * Cycle through the inputs until you land on your cable/satellite input once more, which should result in an immediate restoration of picture and sound. * If it does not, approach your Apex TV and look over the A/V cable connections. The A/V cable has two sets of prongs, one on either of its ends. Each prong is either red, yellow and white, and plugs into corresponding A/V ports on the back of the Apex TV and the back of your cable or satellite box. Make sure the ports and prongs are color-corresponding and have not been switched up.
The
PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a high-definition gaming console that supports
both standard AV connections and high-resolution connections (such as
HDMI). Most of the older Philips TVs come with a standard AV input.
Newer, flat-panel Philips TVs include standard AV inputs and
high-resolution inputs. To get the best video quality
out of your PS3, using an HDMI connection is recommended if the option
is available. The PS3 does not include an HDMI cable, only a standard AV
cable
2
Connect the flat end of the PS3 AV cable into the "AV Multi Out" port on the back of the PS3.
3
Connect the "red," "white" and "yellow" prongs on the
opposite end of the PS3 AV cable into the corresponding "red," "white"
and "yellow" AV inputs on the TV (usually located on the side or in the
back).
4
Press the "Source" button on the Philips TV remote.
5
Select the "AV" video display mode.
6
Turn on the PS3. The PS3 logo will appear on the screen.
If your hooking it directly to the tv depending on how old the tv is use one of the inputs. Hook the two red and white to red and white and the yellow to the video in input. If it's an older tv you will need whats called an rhf adapter. Hook your color codes together and use a cable cord to go from the antenna out to the tv's uhf input. I hope this information was helpful........... : )
PRETTY SIMPLE, CONNECT YOUR 3 PRONG CABLE FROM VIDEO AND AUDIO OUTPUT ON THE COLBY DVD TO THE INPUT VIDEO/AUDIO ON THE TV.SWITCH AV INPUT ON THE TV TO VIDEO 1.
