How many inputs does your tv have? and are you hooking up by component or S-video. If your tv only has 1 set of s-video and no component, get a box from radioshack with more s-video inputs or hook up by rca only. I have a 501, a 6000, a direct tv reciever, and 2 dvd players hooked to my hitachi( it has 2 component, and 3 s-video inputs)
