|   Component vid problem | Masked_Wolf
Jun 16, 2002 6:29 PM | | Hi all,
I just tried to hook up a Yamaha DVD player to a Toshiba rear-projection using the component video outputs and inputs. I just used normal composite rca cables as thought this was all you needed to get it to work. I used the very thin yellow, red and white cables from a Sony DVD player. However when I switch to DVD input on the TV the picture is very snow stormy with only a miniscule amount of actual picturing showing amidst the storm. Any ideas on what is wrong? I double checked that each plug wen't to the correct output. |

Although I don't know if the picture would be that bad just from poorly matched cables, sounds like something else may be the issue. The yellow wire may be 75 ohm if it is larger than the red and white wires. Use this one on the green connection, see if it improves.
Does your DVDp need the component output turned on in a menu? Also, make sure the output and input match as to interlaced or progressive signal. If both your machines are capable of progressive, there may be a switch of some sort on the DVDp, and the TV may allow progressive input only on certain inputs. |

Jul 19, 2002 3:40 PM | | Cables is not really a matter. The rest, James is completely right. In some DVD, you should set the DVD (from the menu) to YUV (component video) out to make it work.
