No Video Signal new DVD connection to LCD TV

I just got a new SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo and connected it to a 40FT2U LCD TV player I got last year. I followed the directions in the setup guide and owner's manual exactly, but I get a "No Video Signal" error on the television. Audio does work. I originally tried with an external tuner too, but still doesn't work when TV/DVD connection only. I've tried switching the connections around (standard yellow/red/white wires) and no change. Obviously everything on the "support" website has the same instructions and can't talk to anyone who can help....can somebody here please set me straight?

With the change to Colorstream on the TV, I now have color DVD and audio...thanks, Peter. However, I still only have audio for VCR playback; even when the selection is set to 'VCR', the screen only shows as "Welcome DVD - Toshiba". This also means I cannot enter VCR menu setup for setting clock, etc
Just to clarify the original quick posts, I added since I could not get assistance on phone and wanted to make sure whoever did see this was updated with where I stood. I originally hooked up r/y/w cables per directions in guide, but change to the green/blue/red using the white and red from other for audio. I actually posted a somewhat more detailed message later the same day (as my originals here) on the DVD board, but that apparently was taken down. Here's the exact connections:
40FT2U LCD: g/b/r- green = Y/Video, blue = PB, red = PR; w/r/y- white= L/Mono, red=R; yellow = bottom on Digital Audio Out; RF modulator cable in Ant/Cable box.  These hook to...
SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo: g/b/r on 'Component Video Out' in order Green top, blue middle, red bottom; w/r/y on 'DVD/VCR Audio Out' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video Out); also have w/r/y on 'VCR Audio In' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video In) leading to...
Zenith external tuner: w/r/y - white (L), red (R), yellow (video) and RF to TV plus separate coax to antenna
I am happy about the DVD, but this combo is no good without VCR too. Your knowledge sharing is appreciated.

  • I lecture for a living. My old G4 connected to LCD projector worked great.  My new MacBookPro connected to LCD projector - the displayed images look as if I used "pastel colors" instead of bright colors.  Help !

    I lecture for a living. My old G4 connected to LCD projector worked great; image displayed on computer monitor is same as that projected by LCD. However my new MacBookPro connected to the LCD projector displays washed out images, as if I designed my Keynote lecture using pastel colors. Also my black & white x-ray images are blue & white.

    Thank you for your quick response to my question.  The Apple Genius Bar tried adjusting the color settings in my MacBookPro, as stated in the document you attached.  It did not help ... my Keynote lectures are still pastel, and my x-rays are blue & white. I should have stated this in my original query for help.
    Again, many thanks for responding.
    Did the Apple Genius explain to you why it did not work or even if it's possible?

  • Connection MACBOOK PRO to Philips LCD: NO VIDEO SIGNAL

    Hello all,
    I recently both a Philips LED TV, type: 40PFL8605H/12.
    I have a MACBOOK PRO from 2007.
    I would like to use this MACBOOK PRO as a media server on the TV.
    I have connected the MACBOOKPRO via DVI-VGA connector to the VGA input of the Philips TV.
    Result; I get 'no video signal'-message on the TV screen. I recently connected the MACBOOK to a beamer and it worked perfectly.
    Although, the TV say's 'no video signal' the display system preferences does recognizes the TV. It say's PHILIPS FTV and a different number of resolutions.
    I have tried them all, the result stays the same.
    I'll tried the Philips helpdesk and the answer was that everything seamed to be connected ok...so, no use full help there (yet)
    'Google-ing' around did not give an answer either.
    Anybody here with use full tips?

    Thanks a brody,
    I'll get me one of those cables and give it a try...
    are you sure it should work then? i see a lot of discussions and people with the same problems...
    I was first thinking to buy a new mac mini to use it as my 'home-server' and as multi media player.
    However, my 'old' macbookpro is also getting 'ware-out' and is subjet for replacement for profesional purposes...
    If I could use my good old macbookpro as media/server, it would save me a couple of euro's...
    Can you (or somebody else) advice me... my old macbook as media server and a new one as profesional lap-top or upgrade my old macbook (new harddisk extra memory) and mac mini as home server and media player...
    of course, first criteria is to get my old macbook hooked-up to my TV ...
    thanks for the advice...
    cheers

  • No video signal when connecting Blu Ray player

    I have a new blu ray player and HDMI cable. It will play just fine when connected to little cheap TV but my large Toshiba will just show No video signal when I try  to connect it and use it. I have tried everything, read the whole manual, searched online help, called the support phone number which just directed me back to the online support. Nothing has helped.
    Also when using my old DVD player with the 3 component cables, I never get any color, just black and white picture. 

    The TV likely has a shared video input. You need to tell it in the settings whether you're using a composite or component device. If you have a composite device connected and the TV thinks it's a component device, it'll show up in black and white. What model number is your TV? I'll tell you change the setting once I know what TV you have.
    Also, to what specific port is the new Blu-ray player connected?

  • Re: "Unsupported Video Signal" when connected to TV.

    i have a toshiba regza, model 42rv530u. i am getting the same unsupported video when i try to play games or some videos. i have made sure my resolution is set with the tv but noticed my video card is not reconnizeing the tv , has it listed as unidentafied monitor. i had down loaded a driver for a older pc to this tv a few yrs back . the pc i'm hook up to now is new. can anyone point me to a down load for this tv .  Thx

    I think the problem is the RESOLUTION of the TV when used as a monitor. My first computer connected had the highest resolution of 1280x1024, 60Hz -- but the options I was able to get from the Toshiba TV were different.
    Strangely enough, if I connect a normal 2nd monitor, I will get an image on the Toshiba TV and can use it as a computer monitor. But if I disconnect that 2nd monitor it goes back to saying: 'Unsupported video signal.'
    I wish there was a way to set the pc/computer resolution for the Toshiba TV through it's menu...
    Still can't get it to work by itself. 

  • Set DVD to Sleep Video Signal Sooner

    Greetings!
    PROBLEM:
    My DVD project is burning in my LCD HDTV screen.
    QUESTION:
    Is there a way to make the DVD shutoff its video signal after a couple minutes of no activity (and override the player's sleep setting)?
    I have two menus and three movies.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED:
    The forum search here seems to have changed, it searches the whole site (what's up with that?) so that was no help.
    Menu pallet> General tab> End (set 2min for audio)> Duration (set 2min)> At End: Time Out (set 1sec)
    The player led counter stops after the 2min as expected, but the menu stays on screen too long...

    There is no command in VM of DVD player to go into sleep mode, however there is "exit" command to stop playback.
    To use it you'd need to redesign your navigation scheme. For example you could make your main menu to automatically play the first movie after the menu itself have been played 3 times. So after 6 minutes of menu the movie will kick in, preventing your screen from burning-in.
    The end jump of the movies would be set to another menu that times out to a script which would include the exit command. This will end the playback and after a defined time your player will go into sleep mode.

  • No video signal toshiba tv/dvd hdmi

    fios guy set up my fios tv with samsung tv last week. everything was fine.
    I got a new toshiba tv dvd combo today. have HDMI plugged into HDMI 1. When I power on the TV (and HDMI 1 is selected) it shows "No Video Signal". (audio is fine)
    I need to un-plug HDMI and then re-plug HDMI to show the video. When I turn off the TV and then turn it back on. Same thing happens "No Video Signal"and I again need to unplug HDMI and then replug to get the video...
    any suggestions? thanks so much!

    The key problem is that the HDMI "standard" isn't quite standard yet. So you have two devices from different manufacturers trying to adhere to a common method that is still open to interpretation. Don't you just love bleeding-edge technology (5 yrs old anyway)?  I have some similar diffulties with one of my TV's, a Panasonic about 3 yrs old, and have resorted to using the component video cables instead of the HDMI cable. I really cannot see the difference in the picture or sound, so that method works fine for me. I suggest that if you can't find a workaround, do the same.
    To get as technical as I can with this, what's happening (with bi-directional digital HDMI)  is that the set-top box is "talking" to the TV and trying to decide what to do to provide the right, if any, output. One of many things being "discussed" by the two devices is for example whether you are trying to illegally record anything. The Verizon box asks the TV to supply a proper response and if it cannot, then the box shuts down and won't send anything. The TV HDMI design must be able to supply the correct encoded reply according to the standard. If it isn't quite exactly what the box wants to see, then "lights out". Don't you just love the digital age? The analog HD component video cable set (not to be confused with composite video) has no provision for any return response (it's one-directional) so it's use is not a problem. The Verizon box does not expect any response in that case and goes on happily content to send its video out to whatever is receiving it. That is why many not-quite-legal digital recording setups use the component video cable interface instead of HDMI. Good luck...

  • New Video iPod will not connect

    I have a new video ipod that will connect on one computer but not the one I want to use. I have reloaded itunes several times and checked firewall. When I plug the ipod in the computer makes three dings. Is this an error code of some type? It will not show up in diagnostics and after trying it shuts down internet connection until computer is re-booted. It connects fine on the other computer. Has anyone got any answers? I have tried different plugs and it shows to charge just will not connect.
    video   Windows XP   Sony Media Station Both computers

    You want to check and see if the other computer has usb 2.0 first.
    If it does try to reset the ipod while it is plugged into the computer. Reset is the menu and the center button on the ipod. Also make sure the hold switch is all white.
    Also you want to make you that you try different usb ports.
    If that doesn't work use msconfig type that into the search here on the support page let me know if this works.

    One of these should work, depending on the projector. Just note both will not allow you to play protected movies on the projector.

  • Copying home DVD videos, editing, and creating new DVDs

    Here is the situation:
    I have the 17" and this is my first Mac to own. I am computer literate with most my experience on Windows and Linux.
    That being said, I am trying to edit home videos; but they are already on DVDs. I got a LiteOn DVD/VCR combo recorder for my entertainment center. I have a camcorder that uses Hi-8 media and it is only able to use S-video/composite outputs (no USB or Firewire). I am using the LiteOn recorder to archive all my videos to DVDs because it has composite inputs. The LiteON has hardly any editing capability. So I want to take the "simple" DVDs I made, copy them to my HD, edit them (to cut out junk, create better menus, and give it as nice touch), and create new DVDs to distribute to my family and to get rid of old tapes.
    So in short, the process I want to do on the Mac is:
    1. Copy my family home DVDs
    2. Edit the video.
    3. Create more "creative" DVDs for my family.
    I have been looking around the website and reading posts and I don't see how to do this. I did try to create an image on disk utility, but it failed for whatever reason (maybe I am missing a step). How can I accomplish the three steps above?
    Please help.
    Thank you, Michael

    If these are true, standard video DVDs that the drive creates, there are a number of utilities that can extract and convert the videos for use in editing applications. A couple of utilities that people have reported success with are DVDxDV, Cinematize, and MPEG Streamclip (MPEG Streamclip is freeware but requires that you have Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component), and there are no doubt others.
    Once extracted, you can use iMovie to edit the clips and iDVD to burn them to a new DVD. Then you can use Disk Image or a third-party application such as Roxio's Popcorn to make additional copies.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

    I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

    At what point is the video quality bad?  Is it bad on capture?  I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead.  They capture the video at a higher bit rate.  If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder.  They capture and compress in one shot.  If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

  • Brand New ATV3 - No HDMI video signal.

    Brand New (2013) ATV3 - No HDMI video signal when plugging it in to my TV (Toshiba 52" LED).
    Ive tried 3 different HDMI cables in 3 different HDMI inputs in various configurations. Still no video.
    Ive tried power cycling ATV and my TV, and changing resolutions using the Apple remote - Still nothing.
    Ive seen serveral forums offering many but unhelpful options.
    Yes, my TV is set to the same HDMI input as the HDMI cable is plugged into.
    Please help?

    You tried difference HDMI cables, different HDMI ports, cycled the ATV, confirmed optical audio output works. Do you have another HDTV to plug in and test? If ATV video fails to appear in this case, I would say that this would confirm the Apple TV HDMI output is broken given the extensive troubleshooting you have already performed. In my opinion, this would completely isolate the diagnosis as ATV malfunction. Did you purchase it via Apple or Third party? Apple will replace the device within 14 days no questions asked, or service it within one year. If third party, contact them regarding your coverage.
    How long is my Apple TV covered by Apple’s warranty?
    Apple's Limited Warranty for Apple TV covers your Apple TV for one year. Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of original retail purchase ("date of purchase").

  • Extract DVD videos, to author a new DVD using iDVD...?

    I want to extract seveal chapters from a few DVDs, and then make a new DVD (using idvd) from these chapters.  What is the best method/video format I should use to extract the chapters to begin with, so here is minimal loss if quality in the final DVD? I was thinking of using Handbrake to extract chapters (from several DVDs) as mp4 files, and then use iDVD to author a new DVD from those files. But what format in Handbrake should I use to ensure best quality? Is Handbrake the best way to go anyway? Thanks, Fox.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
