    ok - for a long time i have had my dvd player going into my vcr and then into the tv (i only have one connection on the tv and the sat dish uses it)

    so basically its always worked fine

    now the last couple days - when i start it up - works fine - then within 2-6 seconds - the video goes off - the audio you can still hear - if i channel up and back on the vcr - it shows up again for 2-6 seconds

    any ideas why?

    this is happening with dvds i burn, and store bought dvds

    thank you

    Maybe your VCR is on the blink?

    Maybe you need a new video cable. I have put new ones on before.

    it seems like the vcr is working fine when plugged into the back input

    but the front is doing the thing

    i tried another cable

    is there a difference btw a rca video and an rca audio cable?

    thanks

    No. Just quality depending on the brand/grade you pick out.
