Waaaaaaaah! My DVD player broke! And in a weird way! |
|
How weird is it?
It's so weird... it plays sound but not video.
I replaced the cable. no luck.
I moved the video cable from the DVD player to the VCR and the VCR displayed fine.
So the DVD player's gone bad.
I don't know why.
Once again: Waaaah! :cry:

2. You may have set it on progressive scan. |
|
Do you use video out or RBG to connect it?

4. Actually, by using s-video with a svideo-composite converter, |
|
progressive scan WORKS (albeit in b&w only).
But prog. scan was off originally. :(
The whole setup is composite (video out/in)

3. You didn't accidentally move the switch |
|
to component video or anything like that, did you? I did that once, and it took me a while to figure it out.

5. Nope. I triple checked and use the VCR to test the connections. |

6. Because DVD players are built cheaply |
|
and durability is not built in. (Open the case if you don't believe me-- it's a circuit board, some cheap plastic gearing, and a lot of air. That's why they sell players for less than forty bucks now.)
