I connected my VCR to a new Samsung LED TV with the white ,red and yellow audio/video cable connection. The VCR is working but I put the tv and the VCR on Cahnnel 3 and it does not show up on the TV, WHY?

Hi if U just want to play videos the easy way is to connect 3 RCA VIDEO CABLES colour coded red white yellow yellow is picture red & white r left & right audio from the output sockets of VCR to input of TV ..then set TV to AV INPUT good luck

Y is not compatible, it is one of the three inputs for "component" video which consists of Red, Green, Blue channels - RGB. The single yellow jack is "composite" video and the red and white are for audio. If your TV has HDMI inputs which are commonly used for HD TVs now, then you should be able to find an A/V adapter to convert the composite video and the audio to HDMI. HDMI carries sound as well as video. You may also find a composite to component adapter which will take the single composite signal from the combo device and break it into the 3 RGB signals for the TV. The thing is that the quality will not be HD for any of these, but then anything on VHS tape or home made DVDs will not be HD anyway. Try searching amazon and ebay, possibly newegg.

If possible use a AV SCART connection lead as you get audio & video! If you want to use the phono connection you need to connect all 3 red/white/yellow to the TV and the VCR/DVD! Red & white are audio, yellow video!

There are generally 2 ways to connect a dvd player to a tv.1 If you have 3 rca connectors on the back of your tv (they are color coded yellow for video and white and red for audio left and right channels respectively) and the same connectors on the back or side of the dvd player.Use rca cables to connect the dvd player to the tv,connecting yellow to yellow white to white and red to red.Using the remote put your tv on video.Put the channel selector on the dvd/vcr player on video or L1 or E1 (depending on what brand dvd/vcr you have).2 connect a rf (coaxial cable from the rf output of the dvd/vcr and connect this directly to the rf (antenna) input to your tv.Put the tv on channel 3.Play the dvd/vcr to see if you have the video.If not put the tv on channel 4.Some dvd/vcr's put their signals out on channel 3 and others on channel 4.Good luck.

Check if the cables are connected properly from the VCR to the TV.

Most likely you are using a 3 cable set up to connect the VCR to your TV. The colors at the ends of each cable are red, yellow, and white. If you have audio, then I presume that your red and white cables are connected, but your yellow cable is not. Find another cable that is yellow just like the other two cables, and connect it to the connector on your VCR labeled "video" and then connect the other end of the cable to a hole in your TV labeled "Video in" or just "Video". It should be located very close to the audio connectors in the TV that the VCR is connected to.

If you have an older VCR, you can connect the cable to the vcr "in" , then connect the A/Vcables from the video and audio out of the vcr to the A/V on the set and put the set on av1 for source. If you don't have a vcr then you will have to get a box.

you need to have your basic rca cables (yellow, red and white). The cables you are referring to are composite cables and if you do not have component inputs on your tv they will be useless. You can use rca cables on any tv that has video.

I'm guessing that you would like all your components to play audio through the HTZ320. In order to get audio from all these components you will need a digital optical cable from the tv optical out to the HTZ320 optical input. And some composit audio cables (red and white) from tv audio out to the HTZ320 aux input. The video and audio from the dish box, bluray, and the vcr are all going to have to go through the tv first and then to the HTZ320. Use HDMI cables to connect the dish box and the bluray to the tv inputs and composit cables (red white and yellow) from the vcr output to the tv input. If you can give the exact model of the tv I can help you sort things out further. I hope this helps you.

Are you connecting you Wii to a progressive scan TV input (2 for audio (red)(white), 3 for video (yellow)(blue)(red)?

It's possible you have the red audio and red video inputs switched.

If you have the regular AV-Cable (2 for audio (red)(white), 1 for video (yellow)), and your TV has 5 inputs (progressive), look for the 3 inputs (2 for audio (red)(white), 1 for video (yellow). If it doesn't, connect it to a VCR and run the Wii through the VCR input.

Color codes for A/V cables:

Yellow: Composite Video
Red: Right Audio Channel
White: Left Audio Channel (mono)

Does your TV have a video & audio OUTPUT on the back of the TV?

If so, will need another set of audio/video cables and you need to connect the yellow cable from the video OUTPUT of the TV to the video INPUT (yellow) of the DVD/VCR and connect the Red cable from the right OUTPUT of the TV to the red INPUT of the DVD/VCR. Then connect the white cable from the left OUTPUT of the TV to the white INPUT of the DVD/VCR. If your TV is not in stereo, just connect up the white cable for mono audio.

If your TV set does NOT have audio/video OUTPUTS, then you will still need another set of audio/video cables and connect the yellow cable from the video OUTPUT of the cable box to the yellow video INPUT of the DVD/VCR and connect either the red or white (or both if possible) to the red or white audio INPUTS of the DVD/VCR.

You need two sets of cables because you want to watch DVD's & tapes on your TV (Path #1) and you want to record the TV channel shows back to your DVD/VCR (Path #2).

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.

Good Luck!
