Cant see picture on my tv screen on cable mode vcr ok

The screen may become dark if Picture mode is set to Cinema or Custom. If the screen continues to remain dark after changing the picture quality mode, go to the Backlight, Picture, Brightness menu and adjust the brightness to your liking. When Power Saving is fixed to Low or High, the screen becomes dark. Some TVs have a Light Sensor so the picture will just become brighter or darker depending on the lighting in the room.
You can also try programming from a different source, like a DVD player or VCR to check whether the problem is caused by the device that sends the signal to the TV.

sr you can disconect hdmi cable and use a litle speaker and check for audio in rca cables output , when you put your vcr play you can have audio in rca red cable and rca white cable i think when you put hdmi your loose in rca the audio , remember in hdmi you have audio and video , if you dont have audio in vcr the audio head are bad thias is used only in vcr mode. good luck

The key is having at least a Universal Remote ($10.00 or less) that will operate your brand of TV. Your TV is only looking at "stations". You need to make it see Aux-1, Aux-2, or Line In mode. BUT, another trick is to run the DVD into your VCR (if capable). Select the VCR proper "input mode" (Aux-1, Aux-2, or Line In mode) then the DVD will play through the VCR and it will play through the TV on either channel 3 or 4. Problem solved!

try opening it up and clean the remote with alcohol and soft cloth.let it dry.while drying, check the rubber buttons for breakage.then assemble.be sure your batteries are ok.

Is this a LCD or Plasma?

Such a simple job. First check if the cables are connecred properly
1. Audio OUT from VCR to AUDIO IN of TV.
2. Video OUT from VCR to VIDEO IN of TV

Then switch the TV ON. Select 'Video' on the TV/Video
selection button on the TV's remote control.
Your TV screen will show a display like 'Video' or 'AV'
Play a cassette and you should be able to see the picture...
Happy Viewing.
