Solved! AV Input on Hisense TV?

[Calcharmac]

I have a new Hisense TV (Model 40H5590F) and want to connect a Toshiba DVD/VHS player to it, but there is no AV listing when I press input on the Hisense TV. How can I make this connection?

Assuming that you have connected the DVD/VCR correctly to the TV it might need to be turned on for the TV to allow you to select that input.

It is turned on, but I get only 4 input choices: HDMI 1, HDMI 2, Composite, and TV. There is no AV choice.

try selecting composite, unless you connected via hdmi. if it works rename to dvd/vcr

When I choose composite, it says "no composite found' and there seems to be no way to rename it. I'm using HDMI I so that I can connect to Fios.

If the DVD player is connected to the HDMI port, then you select one of those from the input options. Or are you talking about your cable box connection? How the FIOS box is connected does not matter here. I don't see a port list for that TV, and you did not list the DVD player model and what types of connections it has. Since you have a new TV, may be a good idea to get a DVD/Bluray player with HDMI to use with it.

How you connect your Fios box doesn't affect the DVD/VCR.
AV is the same as composite. The issue may be in the DVD/VCR. The composite out may only work with the VCR. The DVD may work with HDMI and composite. Check the owners manual.
