Switch input mode

Use the remote controls' TV/AV button, or input select button; to select the inputs. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Take the VCR remote, check VCR output settings ( scart1, scart2 , RCA) and signal format (PAL) etc

There should be an input button on the tv to allow you to switch between dvd, tv and any other device you have connected.

Try hooking up the dvd player and turning it on. Then use the setup and add/erase channel feature to look thru all of the channels. On my older GE tv I found that channel 91 was the correct channel for the video input. I saw the logo for the dvd player on this channel. I just added that channel and now it works. Your channel might be different.

going to have to get a universal remote with input button on it, or tv/vcr button, had same problem!!

Switch on t/v press TV / DVD button on remote to ensure it is in TV mode. Select DVD by pressing

AV button once or by using input select menu

Press TV /DVD button until DVD RC appears on top left (The remote is now set to DVD mode)

Insert disc ensuring label is to rear of set and Auto play function will start

use tv/video switch

Check the cable connections and/or replace the cables to the AV2 input.

If replacing the cable doesn't provide a solution, try running your DVD through the input. Since it works fine now, you would be checking the input AV2 by putting your working DVD. If the DVD plays with no problems, the input is fine.

Also try the VCR using coax into the TV instead of RCA into AV2. This will give you some idea about the condition of the VCR.

I suspect either the VCR or the cables.

Make sure to switch the TV's tuner mode to Video or Aux mode.
You can change the mode using the original TV remote or directly from the TV's control panel.

Again, tuner mode picks up all live broadcast airwaves and Video or Auxillary mode displays what is inputed into the TV via second device..

Good Luck!

On some sets you can use the menu button to enter the menu and navigate to the page which shows what input is currently selected and change it there. If your set does not have that option, then you will need the remote to do it. I have found that on some universal remotes, the TV/VCR button switches the inputs on the TV when the remote is in the TV mode. If that button does not work on your remote for your set, and you have tried all possible codes for JVC TVs, then the only way to switch inputs is to invest a few dollars more and get an original remote from JVC or have the set repaired so that the input button on the TV functions again.
