A neighbor gave me a Coby 224 DVD player.
RCA jacks on back as well as a coaxial. Odd thing is that the coaxial jack's hole is for an RCA cable.
When I connected the RCA video/audio cables to my small (Sony) tv's front a/v jacks (which I access on screen by selecting the "game" option, which I suppose is the same as a TV/VCR option), I saw and heard nothing even though the DVD was "on."
Given the strange "coaxial" jack, there was no way that I could directly connect this to the back of the tv's coaxial jack.
The instructions said the DVD player could not be connected directly to a VCR.
I connected the RCA cables to the front "LP2" a/v jacks of my VCR and I was able to view all functions of the DVD and to operate it as intended.
Two questions - what's the story with a jack labeled as "coaxial" that is built like an RCA cable jack? And why was the small Sony's "game" setting not operate like an LP1 jack? I have my digital converter box connected to the front a/v jacks (and set the tv to "game") and am able to view tv output from that setting - I'd think I could do the same with another source being connected to the same front a/v jacks. (I disonnected the digital converter's cable from the front a/v cables to allow me to connect the DVD cables.)
