>>Have I answered your question... I hope?<< And a very good job of it at that! I'm assuming you are using component cables and not HDMI. My cable comes out of the wall and into the cable/HD box. That box is connected directly to the tv with component cables. I'm sure your new tv has two or three areas, usually one on top of the other where you can plug in these cables. They may even say which row of plug-ins is for what (tv, dvd, camera....whatever) My DVD player is connected directly to the tv (one of the two or three rows of color coded plug-ins) with three component cables that are red, white and yellow, the first two are for audio, the third (yellow) is for video and they are color coded so you can't make a mistake plugging them in. And that's it. Does this Swahili I just typed out make any sense for your particular situation?

Problem was, once I quit the tape, I couldn't get the TV channel back. I had the cable feed from the wall going into the player, then to the TV. Seems like that's what the directions said to do, but I couldn't get it to work. With that alignment, the player does the tuning for you. So your TV has to be set to channel 2 or 3 or 4 (check the manual) and you switch channels using the player's remote. The TV's source has to be the player to watch television. Depending on the age of that tv, the tv's remote may call the source 'tv/vcr'.
