Trying to connect Phillips surround sound to Sony Wega Trinitron

That is closed captioning text mode you have on. Turn off in TV menu.

The inputs you refer to should be colored as follows.
Red
Blue
Green
Red
White
(not necessarily in this order)
These are what are called Component Video inputs and is one of the way that HD capable equipment connect to your television. It will not get true HD picture but this input will provide you with a crisper clearer picture.

Good Luck and Happy New Year.....

Can you get me the Model # of the TV located at the rear panel starting from "K" and the Surround Sound system? If not, please mention the ports available on both the units. I can help you with this.
Regards

Check first your dvd player settings if it is in PAL or NTSC.

Hi There,
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like your sound module or IC needs replacement. Hooking the surround sound won't help because you have no Audio Output. I hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

if your trying to use the dvr still your probably not connecting it all properly. make sure that. having a sony trinitron you have alot of connections on the back. if you connect all of the accessories that you have on your tv directly into each input and use the tvs main output connection to connect straight to your surround sound. this should fix your problem. plus you wont have a bunch of stuff hooked up to your surround sound receiver

Check is RF Antena/ Cable connected? If yes, go to TV Menu and select Auto-Program. TV will start tuning and search all available channels on cable/ on-air. If there is no channel reception, TV has defective Tuner. If you know basic electronics knowledge, replace the Tuner or contact nearest Sony repair shop.

hello

connect your sound output from the rear of the TV to your surrond sound system input.
and all should be well.
Thanks Guy9

Sounds like you have a problem with the high voltage regulation or the power supply. This condition is called "blooming" Stargazer

First thing that comes to mind is that the horizontal driver transformer has bad solder connections on the primary and the secondary windings. Also a set this old could also have a defective regulator IC if you dont know wht m saying , b=est thing to do is find out how much an estimate is then go back to best buy and see what a new set cost cause man you got your moneys worth outa this one for sure!!!!! Good Luck
