Question by Pat: Dvd player?
I am visiting my parents in Arizona, and a few days ago, I noticed that their DVD player and VCR weren’t working. When I asked them about it, they told me that they didn’t know how to hook them up to their TV.
It took some effort, but I managed to get their VCR working, but I couldn’t get the DVD player working.
My father said something about hooking it up to the stereo/sound system to get the sound, but it didn’t make any sense to me.
*TV- Old RCA (not sure of the year)

*DVD player- Symphonic (fairly new)

*VCR- Emerson (couple of years old)

*Cable Box-DirecTv (maybe a year old)

*Stereo- SHARP Energy Star (also fairly new not sure of year)

Any suggestions on how to get the DVD player working?
There are only three little holes on the back of the TV and they are used by the cable box and two other things-there aren’t any color-coded connectors.

You should have put pictures on that showed the connections on the back. Usually you would connect the sound through red and white RCA cables from DVD to Stereo. The video would be yellow RCA or a round connector thst kind of looks like an old mouse connector and that would go from DVD to TV. There should be a way to select the input on the TV. THE dvd and TV might have component jacks that would be Red, Green and Blue. Those are best where the round mouse like one is better and the yellow rca is good.
