Page 1 of LG DVD/Hi-Fi Home Cinema

hi all,

i have the LG DVD/Hi-Fi Home Cinema and can`t seem to get a picture on the television, bt can get the sound out of it when playing DVD`s.

any ideas?

You haven`t tried to do the VCD hack have you?
Steve..

no, just set it up last night, got sound but no picture, i called LG and they advised to go back to the reseller, but what can safeway do, give me a new system?

I bought one of these a few weeks ago from Safeway (It looked like a real bargain fro £299), but was very dissapointed with the sound quality. Also, the video out was composite video rather than RGB through a Scart connector.

I took it back and got a full refund.

Instead I bought a Venturer Home Cinema system from woolies (Toys RUs also do them) for £179.99 and found it much better. I have also been able to hook up my HiFi, TV and Video through it so that sound can be passed all ways.

I suggest you get a refund from Safeway and do something similar!

Since you have had it from the begining of April have you had it sitting around or has it worked ok for the last couple of weeks? How is it connected to your TV what is the switch on the back set to? The best way is with the SVHS output and you need to enable SVHS on the TV or you`ll get a poor B/W picture. It is better to make sure all is working ok before you hack it for multiregion, you can see if it will work using composite output and then change to SVHS for quality assuming the TV will support SVHS (there are SCART to SVHS adaptors to enable you to connect it to your TV).
Hope this helps,
Steve..

cheers for all the advise, all is working weel now.

cheers.
