We got a new SONY HDMI flatscreen TV. On our old TV, I could just hook up the 3 red/white/yellow cords from TV to VCR and it worked fine. But on this new TV, I tried doing that but the picture won't show. Do I have to get an S-video cord?

Thanks for all the responses guys! I checked the cords and I accidentally hooked yellow to white and vice versa lol.

While a s-video cable will probably give you a little better signal, if your new TV has a composite video input, it should work just like your old TV.
Trouble shooting:
a. Make sure your TV is set to the composite input
b. Check to make sure that the video (yellow) cable is plugged into the video out on the VCR and the video input on the TV.

Nope, you can use it the same way. Make sure you have it on an input not an output. On the back it will say which input it is and then just change it to that input on the tv and it will be fine.
