Cant get higher resolution

I bought an up-conversion dvd player from zenith and I hooked it up to the component inputs. whenever I try to bring the resolution anywhere above 480i I get a distorted terrible picture- i can't even make it to 720. Is this tv not equipped to handle such resolutions? what do i do to get them- I have tried with protected and unprotected dvds and the same thing happens.

HI i put my DVD on progressive scan by mistake ... i try to press on STOP for 5 seconds ...but nothing change ...i have sound but no picture ??

Try getting the Green component output and put it on the Yellow composite input. Your picture should be black and white. Then you can see the video to change the resolution back to where you need it. Hope this helps.

Zenith C27A24T 27" TV does

Greetings - You need to have you DVD player hooked up to the video inputs - See below. Don't mind the mouse scratch out lines. The Device on the right represents your DVD player.

You then have to choose video as your source on the TV (not channel 3 or 4) using your remote - see below.

You should be good to go.

Enjoy your movies,

Connected samsung ht x720 (home cinema system 2.1) to v+ box.Cant get picture when playing a DVD.Can hear the sound tough.Thanks

You probably need to change the incoming input signal on your tv.

In other words, your audio is coming directly out from your dvd player, and going directly to the audio power amp.

Your video does the same thing, except it goes to your tv. Your tv has multiple places for "incoming" signals to hook in to it. Take a look at where you're hooking your video in - the input should be marked ... something like "Component 1" "Component 2" "HDMI 1" "HDMI 2" ... something like that.

On your remove, there will be a button that says, "Input." When you push this, you will see that your TV brings up an input selection window. Pressing the "input" button on your remote should scroll through the ports on the tv. Briefly pause on each input selection to see if it begins receiving a video signal from your DVD player.

HDMI signal from DVD can not be down converted to analog component signal.
Connect your new DVD to a component input 1..4. Make sure that component input assigned to desired input (dvd/vcr/sat/) (setup - input setup - input - component assign - component x etc). Connect coax output of DVD to coax x input of the receiver and assign it (setup- input setup - "input" - digital assign ..). Probably you need to setup DVD output resolution to 720i or 720p in dvd setup menu.

I just had directv hooked up, I have a dvr receiver, I was told I did not have enough hook ups on the back of my tv, so therefore, I went and bought a switch or combiner. Now, how do I need to run the...

Newer directv hd receivers must connect to the av input (yellow,red, white) connections on the back/front/side of your tv. If your tv only has one of these av inputs then you will need an RF modulator for your dvd player. You will connect the (yellow,red, white) connections from the dvd player to the rf modulator and then connect the tv out on the rf modulator to the tv rf jack ( the silver threaded barrel on the back of the tv) Tune your tv to channel 3 to watch a dvd and then back to the av input channel for the directv receiver.

Cant go from 480 i to 1080 any suggestions?

How do you have your Blu-Ray player hooked up?

First, you have to set your Blu-Ray player to output 1080i (the highest resolution that the Mitsubishi WS-55511 can support). Then you hook up the player via component to the DTV component input on your set (it's the only input that can handle 480i/p and 1080i).

Good luck.

"No Signal" when DVD player is hooked up via component video

If you are using the same cables,same input and the cable box works ok. I would look into the settings of the DVD player. Such as is it a progressive playback and is progressive turned on. It is not turned on by default because not all TV's could handle progressive in.
