Hiya ... you have a simple lead or set up problem .. ensure that the lead is a good quality one .... and also that the correct leads are atttached where they should be on the tv & stereo... select AV....( this is also dependant on the number of peripheral attachments and their set up to the T.V... ie Digital box.. dvd player... scart or aerial connection)... after checking these... use your T.V controls.. select menu... sounds...external sounds... or digital sounds... something similar....select external devices.... ensure that you have the "phono" selected on your hi-fi.. this should sort your problem.
You should remember also that once you use your Hi-fi to listen to your t.v.... some tv sound systems will.. not allow any of the additional speakers attached to the tv to work ..... you should however be able to manipulate bass/treble settings in certain sound modes via your tv remote.
Alternatively if you have the ROCK/POP/CINEMA...etc selection modes on your hi-fi these can also be used for a satisfactory sound...
Have I understood your problem correctly? and has it helped?

It sounds like you have the "progressive scan" mode enabled. This changes the order that the scan lines (each horizontal line) is sent to your TV. When this setting doesn't match what your TV expects, you get this effect.

you could also check that the regioncount hasn't been exceeded it can only be changed a certain number of times

It may have condensation inside. Leave it plugged in for 24 hours and try again. There is a sensor on the VHS head.

Try Sony DVD-R disc's, they seem to work with most DVD players.
The best DVD-R disc's you can get are Taiyo Yuden.
The speed of the disc is not important as long as it is fast enough for your player, meaning that you can use an 8X or 16X disc on a 4X burner, but not a 4X disc with a 16X burner.

Many manufacters will reccomend the type of disc to use for best performance in the users manual.

Good day!!!!


if you together with your family,neighbor or friends please ask their help..

just follow this instruction:

1. get the RCA jack connectors that includes the player..
2. place the jack red and white for the audio out of your player (it is usually on color coding)..There are alot of choices rear,center and front..please use center..
3. the other red and white for the audio IN of your TV..also have a color coding..red for red and white for white..
4. and the yellow connector for the video please connect it to the video IN of your TV and video out of your player..

I hope this instruction will be helpful..

Do you have a CD/DVD Lens Cleaner Disk ?

What the Problem may be, is that there maybe dust or a bit of dirt on your lens inside the DVD player.

So with a CD/DVD lens Cleaner it will clean the lens so that you can run DVD with no Problems

The DVD might be stuck in the disc tray for whatever reason. To get it out, you could remove all the screws on the back and bottom. Slide out the cover to retrieve the DVD. Plug it in to see if it still works. If it still appears to be working, put it back together and hope that future DVDs won't get stuck.

Get a refund. Or new Tv.

Hi there -

You have to set the Alt Video Out setting to COMPONENT while the composite cable is still attached. Leave the yellow plug for the composite connection connected to both the TV and DVD player, change the Alt Video Out setting to COMPONENT, then connect the 5 jacks for the component connection to both the DVD player and the TV.

Once you have done this, you need to switch the input on the TV to COMPONENT. You probably select AV1 on the TV for watching the DVD player using the composite connection, but you have to select a different input on the TV when using the component cables. The correct input on the TV will probably be called "component" or "component 1". I suspect this is the part that you may not have done.

You seem to have a good understanding of how to connect it all, so I've skipped a lot of detail here, but I'm willing to draw a specific connection diagram for this player and your TV if required. You will need to let me know the model number of your TV for this.

Hope this helps. If you've tried doing it as I suggested above and still can't get it to work, please let me know the model number of the TV and I will provide more comprehensive step-by-step instructions. Once you've got the component connection working for playback, I can also assist you with settting it up so you can record to VCR again.
