Question about Spectra Logic Hello Kitty 13" TV
Kt2114 hello kitty pink television) doesnt recognize we no longer have dvd signal to tv.Dvd player is fine-works on other tvs.tv doesnt seem to recognize av signal.av1 & av2 are just blue screens.
Hi Shuttle83,
Thank you so much for your reply!
We ended up switching TV's with my daughter so that she can still use her DVD player (we don't have cable set up in her room [only in our room], TV was strictly for DVD use!). We have the cable connected now that it's in our room but the only way it works with Cable is if we put a VCR in the middle of it. It won't go above channel 2 unless we connect it direct to the VCR and then change the channels that way. It's very strange!
We got the TV on sale at Wal-Mart last year for like $50 so not sure if it's worth us taking to a TV Repair place. We might just be stuck with it like this for now since it sounds like it's an internal problem.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated!

Hello crawf and Saffyrre,
I have seen this issue before, and I have good news and bad news. The good news is the problem is caused by an electronic bypass circuit, The circuit is between the AV derived from the RF input connector (for cable TV and off air TV) and the AV derived from the DVD player Audio Video input jacks. Hence the problem of being able to plug the DVD into other TVs and it works. Now my question to each of you is; Does the TV work on off air and or Cable TV.
This might range from a cold solder joint on the circuit board, to a component actually going bad. I would suggest taking the set to a qualified TV repair shop and getting an estimate. If the cost is right have it repaired, if the cost is not right replace the TV with a new one.
If you do decide to replace the TV could you both send the bad TVs, so as I could figure out what is causing this problem, design a fix for it and then provide an actual online solution to this problem because this is happening way to much for it not to be a systemic problem with all of these Hello Kitty TV sets.
Thank you both,
I hope this helps,

Hello,
I agree that it would not be worth the cost to fix this unit.
What you could do is use a modulator (Radio shack has these) and connect the DVD A/V jacks to it and the set the modulator for channel 3 and then turn the TV to channel 3 and connect a coax cable between the TV and the modulator. This will allow the DVD to be played through the modulator into the TV, you can also install a coaxial switch to switch between the DVD and the Antenna or cable connection (if used).
I hope this helps,
Thank you,

We're having the same problem. It worked just fine for months now suddenly the AV channels don't show the DVD player (while the DVD player works fine on other tv's). Have yet to find a solution online to it but many others that have had the same problem.
