Do you have a VCR? If so, are the stations there when you view through the VCR's receiver?

Yep - can see them through VCR. Which lead to me RTFM. Which lead me to figure out that I had auto-sap turned on. Switched to stereo and everything works fine.
Thanks, and sorry for the stupidity.

DH and I are shopping for a home theatre system. We don't necessarily need a new DVD player (we're mostly in it for the surround-sound), but the "home theatre" systems seem to be far more in our price range than the "audio cinema" systems.
Anyway. Who's got brand recs for me?

If I only had a brain...
[Jess], we bought one of the Panasonic Home Theater In A Box systems. We aren't audiophiles; it's fine for us, and the Dolby-ized movies are appropriately growly and whatnot. (We bought ours a year ago, and as far as I can see that model is discontinued.) We wound up choosing based on which one has the largest number of different kinds of inputs, since we have multiple game systems, TiVo, VCR, &c &c...

Oh, good point about multiple inputs. Definitely something to look for.
Best Buy has a 7.1 system that's calling to me, but is sadly out of our price range.

My employer is in the process of getting ready to sell off a JVC CD 600-count network "Jukebox" they decided didn't really suit their needs.
It sounds like they might eBay it. I have no more info at this time.
Edited: 600!

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Okay. I suck at home electronics. If the dvd player is connected to the TV (into the input red yellow and white sockets), and it's on, why isn't the TV registering the dvd player, which is on, with a dvd inside? There's another circuit connected to the cable. And that's working. Is there some sort of switch somewhere, or something, that I should be looking for?
Thanks!

Is the TV set to the auxiliary input channel?

Also, what make and model is your TV? If I can look it up online, I might be able to get some exact answers for you.
