My VCR will not display on my TV using s-video.


When I returned from vacation, my VCR would not display on my TV. I checked all cables, etc and everything was fine. I took it to the Repair Shop and he cleaned the unit and said it works fine. Of course, as expected, it still DID NOT work for me so I returned to the shop and told him to check the s-video connection I was using. He reported the unit worked perfectly using MY s-video cable on his TV. I re-connected the unit to my TV using the RCA plugs (and not the s-video cable) and it works fine. What is going on?

No disrespect for your tech, but unless you personally saw him use your s-video cable successfuly, I would try another s-video cable -- cheap from Radio Shack.
Did you have your TV unplugged while on vacation? Maybe you lost your setup due to the length of time the TV was unplugged. Maybe you need to go into your TV setup and select s-video.

You might try the same cable and the same input on the tv----with your DVD player.
These are great suggestions. Yes, my TV was unplugged while on vacation so I will review the TV setup and confirm the s-video connection. Thank you very much.
