How to connect DVD player to FIOS TV (with standard TV)

The Verizon techs installed my FIOS system. I already have the router, DVR and standard TV connected and working. How do I add a DVD player to the mix?
I found wiring diagrams for my FIOS DVR, but they do not include my configuration. Here is what I found:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Receivers/Wiring+Diagrams/Motorola+7232+HD+DVR/12763...
The above diagram includes an A/V receiver, which I don't think my configuration includes. The tutorial does not offer a choice of configuration that is just the DVR, standard TV, and DVD player.
Where do I find a wiring diagram that connects my DVR, standard TV and DVD player? Do I have to do anything to the router when I connect the DVD player? Sometimes I see references to set top boxes--are they the same thing as the DVR?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry to hear about you trouble.
If you are using a standard TV you need to check the back ports for RCA connections. They are listed as video/audio inputs, with color coding.
From your DVD player use RCA output jacks, yellow for video, red and white for audio
Take other end of RCA cables and connect to TV inputs at the back
Set your TV to what ever input was used for DVD player and this should allow you to see DVD from TV.
I sent you a PM if further assistance was needed.

How to reinstall DVD Player?

Hi everyone -
For some reason my DVD Player (4.6.5) wasn't playing my DVDs (originals, not copied) and kept giving me the error message "Supported Disc Not Available".
So I trashed the DVD player and emptied the trash. I downloaded the DVD player off the Apple site and tried to reinstall, but it says that it can't reinstall since a newer version exists on my HD.
Any thoughts on how to remove DVD player completely and reinstall?
Thanks!

Yangster:
Glad your issue is resolved.
Let me reiterate what Steve said that you do not delete applications as a remedy. Re-installing when there are problems in the system does not necessarily remove the problems, and may create more.
If you don't mind, please take a moment to mark any posts that were helpful or led to your solutions, if there are any.
Good luck.

How to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with bluetooth to my mini mac?

how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.

What external DVD player plays commercial movies with a 2008 iMac?

What external DVD player plays commercial movies with a 2008 iMac?
I have a Samsung external player/writer but it will not play movies.
Only shows data in it's finder window!

Toshiba & LaCie.
I must have spent ten hours researching this.
What did the manufacturer tell you?
but even VLC wouldn't play it.
VLC plays anything you throw at it. At least 99.999999%. What type of file (suffix) is this movie file? Where did you get the movie from?
iMac 2008, OS 10.9.1
External Samsung DVD/CD writer player
You need to determine from the vendor if the player is compatible w/Maverick. Have you done this yet? If not, why not?

DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
Thanks for any help given.

How to connect to Windows 2008 VPN server with certificate support

Unfortunatelly if I select any Windows 2008 server compatible protocol (PPTP, L2TP) I cannot select PKI certificate, its only available for Cisco VPN. Yet my company has 1000 laptops and utilizing Windows 2008 Server for VPN (Cisco is too expensive and unnecessary because VPN is part of Windows Server). PKI certificate is required for connection security.
Any plans to enable certificates for PPTP or L2TP in 2.1 firmware? Even better would be to add SSTP protocol with certificate support, because it takes only one standard TCP connection (https) per user (uses least possible NAT resources for heavy loaded NATed WiFi spots). Also in some public places https is the only option to connect as PPTP and L2TP are filtered.

How to control DVD player menu functions in DVDSP

I have built a DVD with DVDSP and have everything working as intended except for one thing.
When I press the Home button on the DVD remote, it goes to the DVD player's menu and shows a DVD icon, then when I select the DVD icon, it shows the title list with 4 titles:
1. Warning (which has all User functions disabled)
2. Chapter 1
3. Warning (which I don't understand because there is only 1 warning track)
4. Menu
I want to set this so when selecting the DVD icon you are directed to the DVD's main menu, and it doesn't display the title list at all.
Just to give more info, the way the DVD is set up is: In the DVD remote function area, I have my title, Menu and Return buttons all routed to my main menu.
There are 4 menus (Home, About, and 2 chapter menu pages), 4 tracks (First play = .25 sec Black which end jumps to a Warning and disclaimer track which end jumps to another .25 seconds of black which jumps to main menu. These have all user functions disabled. The 4th track is the main video with 16 chapters). There are no scripts.
I have tried this with many store bought DVDs and they behave differently. Most show a DVD icon then when that icon is selected, it goes to the main menu screen. Others behave by showing each chapter as a title after selecting dvd icon.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance!
Attached are 2x diagrams, how the dvd is currently acting, and how i'd like it to.

Finally, something new here lately! (well, besides the new look)
In my 13 1/2 years working with DVD Studio Pro (starting back when it was 'simultaneously' Astarte DVDirector and Spruce Maestro) I've never seen a workflow that included the DVD player's system menu as a navigational component in the flow chart for a functional DVD.
Hi T20,
First of all, are you sure you want to know the answer to this?
The area you bring up is almost a 'blue pill / red pill' kind of thing, or choosing to turn into a 'grasshopper'..., or something like that. Definitely a rabbit hole. But if you're working for paying clients and are going into mass distribution, i.e., replication, then your question brings up a precisely the kind of multiply connected DVD specification components that are crucial to understand; especially working with an authoring system like DVD Studio Pro.
Of course, if you're good at following directions and would have the trust enough to carry out the successful experiment, then it could be a one-and-have-fun-getting-it-done operation...with full understanding of what just happened reserved for a later date.
Though, to answer your question fully here would take some doing.
Here's what I'm willing to share on this public board about the matter: The short answer would be to remove all of your warning material from the Title Domain in the VTS Spaces, i.e., eliminate the warning clip / black frame Tracks. You should have one Track in your project, according to the intent of the DVD Specifications for your project type.
Important Note: Putting a short duration warning or black frames in an entire VTS is a "best practice" promulgated for years out there that has gotten a lot of good authors in trouble in many types of players; errant navigation, player crashes, disc recalls, etc., and should not be done. In most cases, nothing should be put in a Track that you would not want the viewer to be able to Resume to; and more importantly, the DVD Studio Pro abstraction layer authoring system can not afford to have the first VTS 'wasted'. Real program content with video and however many audio and subtitle streams should reside in the first VTS for all DVD SP projects (more DVD Spec kinda stuff to go over the reasons why).
Once your project is setup optimally, then it's a matter of understanding the DVD Specification "Stopped State" and what both happens and what you want to happen afterwards; which depends on where you were when you got into the stopped state and other factors.
The below page images (unreadable, but to show there's quite a bit to it) are from the official DVD Specifications for Read Only Discs - Part III VIDEO SPECIFICATIONS. The page image on the left starts the several page section in the DVD Specifications devoted to what's allowed for navigation commands between domains - and what navigation commands and (unfortunate) circumstances cause playback to go into the "5th domain" - the stopped state. The Image on the Right starts the section in the specs for what happens and what's allowed by the remote control user operations (UOPs) between domains, including from the Stopped State.
The player will use what's allowed by spec in the UOPs to take you out of its setup menu and into the chosen target in the various domains. Though, I have found several players that pretty much do what they want in this regard, as well, but my method takes care of them, too (what player model are you using, may I ask? I have over 200 players here, and might have that guy).
The somewhat challenging part is working with DVD SP's abstraction layer auto-programming so as to anticipate this revival of playback from the Stopped State - which never occurs from the authored First Play PGC, as well as player variances with options they allow from their system menus.
So an adjusted startup First Play program routing (looks kinda 'weird' in the DVD SP project interface) would then handle a chosen Menu to play from that players system setup screen, whether the viewer chooses the "Menu" or the one remaining "Title" option. It took me 3 years to figure this out, but has been working flawlessly for hundreds of replicated titles since the fall of 2006.
Good question, t20. It takes quite a bit to get me out my 'bat cave' these days. Also, I'm about to start up my old "TFDVD.com" DVD SP support site again soon (adding Scenarist Professional support), this time under what I hope to be a true "DVD Producers Guild", and it's great to see some of this kind of 'life' still out there!
My first major article for the new site is tentatively entitled "The Most Perfect DVD Startup Action" and I will, in 'excruciating detail', cover not only the many reasons a discs startup strategy is crucial, and how to implement the DVD Specification and DVD player experience based startup principles for various types of DVD Projects, but also how to keep control of navigation during startup from the Stopped State in players. This article will have illustrated specific instructions for the DVD Studio Pro and Scenarist Professional authoring systems (Note to my good 'little monsters' from back in the day; this is not the same article from my 2001 article with a similar name).
Take care,

How To Get DVD Player Back?

I was once dumb about 2 months ago to go under accounts, click on advance options and simply change the name of my account name. I changed it because I didn't like it; it was the first time i've ever done this and had to manual drag and drop everything from an old account to a new one. My Macbook runs perfectly but I have to assume that the one thing I missed during the process was DVD Player...
Recently I've had to use Front Row only when viewing DVD's. Not the worst thing, but a big downer when I want to surf the web at the same time or work on other apps.
How I can I get DVD Player back?
All advice is generously welcome.

DVD player doesn't live in a particular user account. It sits in the Applications folder at the root level of the hard drive. Migrating from one user account to another could have no effect on it. As mentioned, you can reinstall it from the install DVD using Pacifist. while you wait for your install DVD, you can use [VLC player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html] to play DVDs.

How to change DVD player sleep time

I have some DVDs that I like to repeatedly play video clips from. However, I'm having a problem with the DVD player going to sleep before the clip finishes, resulting in a very noticeable delay and message "waking up DVD player" when the time comes to repeat the clip. How do I change the DVD sleep parameter(s) to prevent this annoying behavior?

Connecting DVD player, speakers and stereo receiver to mac pro

This entails connecting my living room speakers and digital DVD player to my Mac. My stereo receiver is outdated so I plan to buy a new one. The reason I want to connect the DVD player is so I can use the remote control with it. Unless there's a remote I can buy for the Mac Pro ?

CANT connect DVD player to '5.1 inspire' via DIGITAL CABLE!! arrrg!

I have a "CyberHome CH-DVD 300S" DVD player and a "Inspire 5.1 5200" Creative speakersI want to connect the DVD player directly to the speakers system and maintain my 5.1 sound. Both the dvd player and creative speakers are capable.
Heres my problem
The 'digital coaxial' jack that comes from the DVD player is 'Composite RCA' style and the digital input jack on the creative speakers is '1/8th inch' or headphone jack style. NO PROBLEM nothing radio shack cant fix. ... I plug it all up and turn my dvd player to output digital signal and nothing happens.
Are both of these runing different protocols?
Surely someone has attempted this.
Thanks in advanced.

My setup writes DVD's in almost ANY format. Still SUX! But... yes, what she said. You'll always need to decode and, if I'm thinking correctly :smileyindifferent: you must specifically have digital speakers to "go" digital on yer settings, et.al. At the very least you'll need an RF Modulator just to hook up to cable box (or sattelite, etc.). Keep your Brave Face on for this one-it may take some extra dollars to achieve your goals. Good Luck, and... we're watching. G!
