Im trying to connect my coby dvd player to my samsui tv

Do you have the DVD player for the system? You connect the DVD player to you TV then connect the surround sound system to the DVD player.

That is called a TV, DVD combo. You either need the 6 legged sound IC chip replaced or the tuner needs a resolder on a cold solder joint inside it. (i've done this a few times, with a large magnefying glass)

you have to check to see if your TV also has "AUDIO OUTPUT" ports, they would be red/white (not next to a yellow - those are inputs", you would hook up red/white from back of the TV to the back of the DVD player where it is labeled "input", you then turn on the dvd player and press the 'source' button to switch it to the right input for your connection. P.S. - it will only do the front two speakers because your tv only outputs 2 channel audio.

I have had some very bad luck with Coby products and am sorry to hear that you have too but please make sure that the connector jack is clean and functioning properly. The connection jack has a device inside it that knows when the plug is inserted and then sends the audio and video out to the TV. If the connector is really dirty it could be that the connector is not working properly.

There isn't a lot more to look at unless there is some obvious problem with the screen such as a loose wire or a broken hinge.

Not certain, but have you tried Coby's 1086 code?

Shana, What are you really trying to do!!!! Do you understand what the jacks on the Coby DVD player are for?? Can you connect the Coby player directly to TV AUX inputs and play a DVD?
Is the satellite 'box' still connected to TV/Monitor using TV Tuner set to chann 3 or 4? Is the TV you
are trying to use have any or none of those YELLOW/RED/WHITE jacks on the back of it that you
have never plugged anything into them. Is the TV always set to Ch3, and is never changed to any
other Ch number??? Do you only change Ch up or down using the satellite "box" tuner? ALL these
questions and more must be answered by you before anyone can help you out. You must know your
own equiptment and its capabilities. The COBY Player will never be found by the satellite dish tuner.

What format is the TV?

Hi all

I had a similar problem with Coby dvd 7500 the screen was faint almost black but could hear the movie sound. I cleaned the lens as suggested but it didnt resolve the problem.

I tired to rest the player by removing the power supply cord and the battery for 30 mins as suggested in the manual but that also didnt work. What I did was left the player without battery and the power cord overnight and it did start working in the morning!!

This worked for me and hope works for you guys too...though I cant explain the reason as am novice myself. But give it a try as it really worked for me.

All the best.

Cheers

what is the model of your tv and the method in which you are trying to connect the dvd (ie rca cable, component, composite, hdmi) and do you hear audio

do you see the laser light come on when the disk spins if not it has probably lost power or failed, if so sometimes the laser head gets moved to close to the drive mechanism and the motor cant pull it out. i have found several of these that had this problem.
