I recently purchased a new 42 inch plasma TV. Hooked up my RCA VCR model VR673HF and it worked fine. About a week later I tried to tape a show by going from Component 1 to TV and instead of a screen where I could input the program info I got a black screen on the TV and the words no signal. Did I push a wrong key somewhere on the remote? By the way I have digital high definition TV. I have tried pushing several keys both on the TV remote and the Cable remote, but to no avail. My son from out of town set up the set for me and I;m afraid I;ll press a wrong key and not even be able to watch TV. Would appreciate any help I can get.
I assume your plasma set has one or more auxillary (component) inputs, and to one of these is where you should hook in the VCR. You will have a video input jack, and a set of audio input jacks (probably 2 for stereo) for each of these aux. input sets. While exact setups differ, depending on your cable box(es), DVD players, and whatever other equip., a likely hookup is from the VCR video & audio outputs to one set of the aux. inputs on the plasma set. When you want to use the VCR for playback, you must select that particular aux. input with the plasma remote. Some of the hookups these days get complicated by all the equip. some have, but the above is at least a start. Thanks
