setting up dvd to tv - have audio, but no picture?

Question

am trying to hook up dvd player to back of tv. i've hooked up the red, white, and yellow cables, but have no picture, just a blue screen. i can hear the audio of the dvd, so i know it's hooked up in some capacity. what did i do wrong? could it be something with the cable (which runs through the vcr)? help!

Answer 1

The yellow cable has to go DIRECTLY to the TV, not through the VCR. The output of a DVD player is copy protected.
