Can't view dvds

My toddler was playing with the dvd&tv and possibly the remote controls and now I cannot view dvds.  The dvd will play correctly in the player but the picture is not appearing on the screen.  I have been flickering through the channels and can hear the sound from the dvd on the SVHS & AV2 channels but can't seem to figure out which channel shows the picture.  Does it make a difference if the channell is on MONO or AV?  Thank you.

This is going to take a few

This is going to take a few more questions to sort this one out.  How did you play a DVD in the past?  Is the DVD player hooked through a Video input on the TV set?  What type of DVD and TV set do you have?

Thank you for your reply. 

Thank you for your reply. 

I have realised that there is a lose connection with one of the wires (there is a little screw that keeps loosening at the back of the dvd player)  Sometimes the dvd works and sometimes it doesn't!  Thank you for your help anyway, may have to get a new player

 There is no need for a new player.  If there is a loose connection at the wires,  then the RCA jack probably is loose internally.  This is a simple fix if you know how to solder.  These jacks take a bit of abuse from the weight of the cable hanging from them.  Sometimes they just get loose.  If this is the only problem with the unit, perhaps a local shop would repair the connection for you cheaply.  I know that this type of repair would cost about $20 from me!!

 

Good luck,

Dan
