RCA F20600ET ColorTrak
A friend of mine gave me this TV, and while it has a great picture, for
the life of me, I can't figure out how to hook up a VCR or DVD player to it. It has inputs on the back of it, but when I hook up my DVD player to it, I can't get anything to appear on the screen other than the regular channels. It almost seems that the TV doesn't recognize a video input channel or something. Does anybody know if there is a way to program the TV to recognize the video input? I've tried the antenna/cable input through the menue, but it doesn't give an option of configuration through a VCR or adding in any sort of an auxillary like a DVD player. Thanks -- any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Also one where Video Input was a channel above the highest channel. |
