Need to know what/how to play video player. Set it to AV with no results. Please advise...granddaughter is waiting. :)

Not sure if this is helpful at all, but according to this youtube video, this unit never had a remote. It uses a 9-pin game controller. Not sure if this is only for playing games, or if it's used for programming the unit as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crqMoog_Eiw&feature=youtu.be&t=44s

Looking at a closeup of the control buttons at the 36 second mark of the video, there does not appear to be any button that can be used as an "ok" button.

The back of the unit has a number of audio/video outputs, and 2 game ports.

The type of disk you put in the unit should determine whether it is recognized as a DVD or as a game disk.

As the author of the youtube video mentions, these were very inexpensive units (he got his for $30).

You may want to consider getting a major brand DVD player that includes a remote like the Sony DVP-SR210P which can be found on eBay for under $30, as well.

Some newer TVs do not have the traditional "yellow" video input, known as an "AV" connection. Even without that input, you should be able to use the standard three-color Wii AV Cable that came with the system.

What to Do:

1. Look for "component" inputs on your TV. These connections have a row of five differently-colored inputs (green, blue, and red for video, white and red for audio). If you have more than one set of component inputs, it's the first set that generally works with standard AV cables. Look for a set that has a green input with yellow around it, or the word "video" just above or below it.
2. Plug the yellow end of the Wii A/V cable into this green "Y" input. Plug the white end into the audio "L" and the red into the audio "R." Leave the blue and second red holes open.


3. Turn on your Wii console and set your television to the input select being used.
4. If you are seeing the image from the Wii in black and white, try the following to get the image in color:
   • Cycle through your television's input channels (usually with the "Input Select" or "Source" button on your TV's remote control) to find the input select that has the image in color.
   • If you're only finding the image in black and white, you may need to switch the setting of the input select from a component signal to a standard AV signal. This can be done by:
     • An on screen menu option. This is often accessed by using the "Menu" button on the remote.
     • A button on the remote that switches between the standard and component signals. These can be labeled such things as "AV" or "Video."

I'm assuming you have hooked up the video player and tried, and haven't got it to work? If so, Run the video cords to the correct places, i.e. yellow (video) to yellow port (front/back); white and red are sound, insert each to their corresponding places as well. Next, turn the tv on, as well as the video player, (dvd/vhs/etc) - next, if you have a remote use it to access the menu - then scroll through the list (usually with the volume up/down button, channel up/down buttons, or there will be arrow keys to use). Find in the menu the selection to choose which video port to use i.e., video 1, video 2, or AV, which is more commonly used - AV is usually the ports on the front side for tv's like this. If you do not have a remote, to access the menu (if not "menu" button is available on the front of tv) try using the channel up/down buttons on the tv, by pressing them both at the same time - also, using the channel up/down, or volume up/down buttons to scroll through the menu - to select, there will either be a "select" or "enter" button, or as one set of up/down buttons are used for scrolling, the other two up/down are used for selecting. Once you have determined the uses, find the channel selection, and try AV first. You may be able to find it easier first by simply flipping through the channels on the tv until it appears on the screen usually in the upper right hand corner in big letters -- AV. This will be the channel to use for video - if not, there is one other way to make this work - if the tv and video player have a co-axle port (cable cord connection) then use a co-axle cable. Plug it in to the back of the video player, and then the back of the tv. Select Channel three/four ( some video players have a switch on the back, so make sure they are both on the same channel). Most commonly used is channel 3.

Finally............. monkeying around with the remotes, we discovered the basic little remote that turns on our TV was the source of connection. We now hit AV twice, and Go Video works. Voila. It took quite a bit of time to try every possible angle, finally realising we needed to leave Direct TV Remote out of the equation. Just the Go Video remote and our basic little simple remote. Go figure!!!!!

For now, we are good. (knock on whatever:)

Hi kdg 1026,
The wire from the Nintendo should have 3 plugs on the end. Yellow, Whit and Red.
OPn the baqck of the TV you have inputs that are color coded, Yellow, White and Red.
Plug the wires into the color coded inputs.
Turn on Nintendo. Press input button on your TV remote until you get the picture.
Let me know if this helps.
Please rate this solution. Lone99star


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_77a19afa8d604dee

My tv has a "game" button and that is the only way my dvd will play on it. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Could you pls try:
1. Remove DVD or video from the player.
2. Press the ‘Set-up’ button on the remote control.
3. Select the ‘System Info’ mode from the on-screen menu.
4. Using the remote control 10-key type in ‘1101′
5. ‘Region code’ should appear as an option on the ‘System Info’ menu. Initially the region code will be set to 2. Press ‘0′ on your remote control using the 10-keys to set to multi-region.
6. Press ‘OK/Enter’ on the remote control.
7. Finish by pressing the ‘Set-up’ button once more.
This was actually intended for a Sanyo DVR-V100E &HVRDX610 but I was made to understand should also work for DVR-DX600. This was originally posted here.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

I had the same problem with my nokia n80.

The solution i found is:

with the remote go to bluetooth phone. then on the remoete av menu. now you can select bluetooth as it's not grey anymore. i would advise search device with a new pin and not the standard 0000.

Good luck.

Let me know if it worked. It did for me. (eu model)

You will need to go back into the menu and see what ia available in the video input mode. You may have switched the type of input you can use such as default or componts ect. If you have an isntruction manual, look in there or call the manufacturer, should also be in the instruction or user manual. Good Luck

if you tryed to hook up into another video input you also have to switch the inputs on the remote in the input menu from input 1 or 2 to the same.
