I am having trouble hooking up my RCA home theatre system. Not getting a picture - only sound on the

RCA RTD206 Home theatre system. Has two audio in hookups, three video out component hookups (three plugins) and then one separate video hookup (yellow). The TV has two audio out hookups, then three input hookups and three DVD in hookups. I have an additional VCR that is hooked up in all of this. Cable runs into it, then into the TV. Nothing else is hooked up to it. So, I can put a DVD in that machine and it will play through the surround sound speakers, but when I put the DVD in the RCA system, I get sound but am not getting the picture. Can'tigure out what I have done wrong. Figured I would try this first before I call somebody in to help my technophobe self. Thanks for any help!

Call your cable company and order digital cable. They will send a tech out to hook it up--while he is there he will have to hook up the surround sound too.

Ok lets try a couple of things.



First off, if I understand your set up, you have a VCR (which is also being used as a cable box?) and the RCA DVD player hooked up to the TV through two separate inputs on the back of the TV. If this is so, you may have to change the TV's video input (they're probably called video-1, video-2, etc) depending on which of the two you are using.



So for example, if you have the VCR hook up to the video 1 input , you need to change the TV to video-1 to view it. Same thing goes for the DVD player, if that is hooked into Video-2 you will need to switch the TV to Video-2 to view the DVD. (you'll have to figure out what you have plugged into what to get it right)



Another thing, I hope you are aware that the component video outputs (3 plugs colored red, green, and blue) on the RCA unit requires all three plugs to be used at once, and they are to be connected to (3) coresponding component video inputs on the back of the TV set. (from your post, I am worried you tried plugging a single cable into one of the three and tried to feed that to the TV. This will not work)



The single (yellow) composite video out put requires only the one cable to be connected, but is an inferior quality video.



Also, it looks like you can feed the audio from the cable box into the RCA unit using the L/R Aux-Audio Inputs located just to the right of the video outputs. Just connect these to the corresponding audio outputs on the back of the VCR. You will then need to activate the "Aux" input on the RCA unit using the remote control (the "aux" button is located on the right side of the remote with the other inputs......DVD, Tuner, etc.



Hope this helps. good luck
not sure why you have the vcr running straight into the tv....you need to disconnect everything....then start over by connecting your theater receiver into the tv....now run the cable line into the vcr and connect your vcr to the theater via rca cables (red, yellow and white)...test this hook up, make sure u can get a picture...your tv should be set to av, av1, av2, etc and the receiver source should be set to vcr...repeat this step for your dvd player, playstation or whatever else you are connecting.....



ps you still have a vcr????
Don't sweat it. Does the audio change as you change the channels?
