    Posted: 28 Jun 2017 at 2:41pm
I just purchased a new Rpod 171 and I cannot for the life of me figure out
how to get DVD to play on TV. I can hear the sound but get no image. I have tried
all of the different input sources on the TV and nothing. I have read the manuals. I think
it is probably a connection issue. It came from the dealer all hooked up. There
is one RCA cord coming out of the wall. The white and red are audio, pretty simple. The yellow is plugged into the "L"
input under TV. I am loving my new Rpod but would love to be able to watch a movie! Any
suggestions would be much appreciated!

Red should go into the R port, yellow should go in the V port, and the remaining color (usually white or black) should go into the L port.

May sound dumb, but are you using the DVD remote?  Ours has one for TV and one for DVD.

Okay! That is not how the dealer set it up! I will give it a try as soon as
I can get it plugged in. Thanks!

I plugged in the RCA cord as suggested and I got a picture! Thanks so much!
The only issue is that the image is in black and white. I thought
maybe I messes up the default settings on TV when trying to get DVD
to work. I turned off Jensen DVD player and turned TV on. Found
two stations, both in color! Not sure why DVD image is B/W? Any
ideas on that one? Regardless having any picture is a huge step forward

I think it means you don't have the correct "source" selected.
