Hey there guys, I was hoping someone could help me with a problem Im having. I purchased a Yamaha DV-S5650 today and have been having alot of trouble getting a picture up on the TV. I connect the DVD player to the TV with RCA cables, and using these cables Ive tried both the component and composite video terminals on both the dvd and tv. The closest to a picture I got was using the component video terminals, but even then the picture couldnt be discerned - it was just a bunch of scrolling coloured snowy bars. Ive tried all AV channels on the TV and many DVDs to no avail. The HUD also displays one word when the DVD is playing - "ROOT". Could this mean anything? Ive tried a search but came up with nothing. Ive all but given up on it. Is there anything else I can try to get it to work? Or could this particular player be a dud? Thanks very much in advance for any help on this.
Is it on progressive scan? You can only use progressive if you have a digital TV. Some players have a switch in the back to turn the progressive on/off, others do it in the menus.
