My name is Joe and I live in a nursing home, my question is: How do I connect a Panasonic VCR, a Sony 24" Trinitron TV, a Panasonic DVD player and a MSN tv 2 'media player' (aka Web TV) ?
One of our aids set them up like this: The incoming cable wire is connected to the VCR. Then the VCR to TV. The TV to the DVD player and to the MSNtv2 media player. This works BUT... There is a problem: when I watch a DVD movie disc - the picture is normal then it darkens about every about 10 seconds, continuously thru the entire movie.
I'd appreciate any advice to the proper set-up to all of these items and to the DVD picture fluctuating problem. Thank you in advance for any help. Joe
Connect the DVD player directly to the TV, it sounds like it's going through the VCR. If the TV doesn't have enough inputs for everything, buy a video switcher.
