guys-- i just picked up a 1994 model as mentioned, 27" screen, for a guest room. no remote, no manual. i cannot figger out how to get it to show signal from DVD player. has cable coax input and yellow video input. i have sat coax going into coax input, DVD going into yellow video.

there is no control for going back and forth between the two sources. there is no S-video either. what am i missing?

thanx

if it's anything like other Thomson sets of that vintage, tuning the TV to channel 91 should do it.That's where the video input is on a lot of those sets, including my '95 ProScan (CTC-169 chassis).

If that doesn't work, then there would have been a TV/video button on the remote. Most universals should be able to do that for you. If it's a hotel model, then that feature might be disabled. Can you access all the menus?

don't think it was a hotel model. all menus can be reached with the menu button on the control panel. i've even got a couple old rca remotes around, but neither works, even with fresh batteries...

can't get it to go to channel 91, or 92, or a lot of channels btw 68 and 99. ideas?

seriously these sets use 00 for video input.

If it wont go over channel 69 its not in cable mode; it thinks it's hooked up to an antenna.
