 HELP needed with HOME INTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
I just bought a RCA RTD258 system and the DVD sound is great but I'm
getting no video to the TV. I can hear the movie playing but I can't
see it.

I know the cable is good because I'm using it also to go from my
satillite box to the TV input.

Any ideas?

Sounds like the audio is working fine (no pun intended)
but you have a problem with the video. Perhaps an
audio newsgroup isn't the best place to ask about a
video question.

There seems to be some discussion about that model and
even your problem here....

I'm not personally aware of any Usenet newsgroups chartered
for discussion of home entertainment systems, but maybe
somebody else knows one?

I fixed it.
It was in HMDI mode.
You have to press the SUBWOOFER button to change modes.

Works great now.

Thanks,
