I have a TV that has a built-in VCR player. When I hook up a DVD player to it, the video works but the color constantly changes from a darker hue to a lighter hue. Are there any way I can fix this or do I need to buy a TV without a built-in VCR player? (I have tried two different DVD players and both have given me the same problem.)

It has to do with how the tv reads in a signal from the vcr part. You might try getting an rf modulator with the read white and yellow plugins.

You need to check what kind of input and outputs you have on your DVD player and your TV.
Unless you have an ancient TV, it should have a S-Video input, which in quality is just below the 'component' type. It is a little round connector with a bunch of pins (I think 5 plus the plastic key).
If your TV doesn't even have that, you may have a 'composite video' connector. This is the lowest quality, but it is still better than connecting to the coaxial antenna connector (which is the only one that also accommodates the sound as well).
All the other mentioned video through-puts, need separate stereo audio cables. Usually red for right and white for left. Those cables that have three (an additional yellow connector) that is for (composite) video.

Yes, I have a tv with a built in VCR and i also have a DVD player hooked to it. You might try some different cables or different hookup pattern. On mine, there are three jacks but I only ran 2 cables.
