No video with Bose 321 DVD entertainment system connected to Panasonic 50 inch HD Plasma TV?

this is a new set-up. When using just the TV with cable input I get both audio and video but when I try to play a DVD in the Bose 321 I get only audio but no video.

The TV component video 1 jacks (audio and video) are fed from the cable box.

The TV component video 2 jacks go to the Bose box. The set of wires is 3 heavier wires. I think they are 'special' for better signal quality for the plasma TV

Other than what is described above the cable box has 2 smaller black (audio I think) wires going to the Bose unit labeled TV jack

Any ideas why I get audio but not video when playing a DVD but I am able to get both audio and video when watching TV thru the cable box?

If everything is hooked up correctly, and it sounds like it is, then William F is probably right. Check the Panasonic manual and see what type of input is needed to run component video 2. If it's HD only (720p, 1080i/p), and I suspect that it is, then you will have to do one of two things... follow William's suggestion to try a different input, or upgrade to a high def DVD player... preferably one with HDMI output. If the component video 2 input is supposed to accept low def (480p, 480i) inputs, then you might have a defect.... but I don't think so. These types of problems are usually hook up or compatibility related, not defects.

Did you try changing the source on the TV. What do you have the 321 hooked to in the back of the TV. Try running a direct video feed from the 321 directly to a input on the TV. Also make sure your video out and video in are correct.
Some TV's do not support 480i on the YprPb inputs

it is possible you have to hookup the DVD using a

480i connection like S-Video or use the Green of the Component cable to feed the Yellow NTSC video

for the setup.

From the DVD setup change the output mode from the

S-Video jack to Component in many DVD players made

3-4 years ago this was common

S-Video OR Component NOT BOTH

Also you may have one of the DVD players with the jacks color coded wrong

Zenith was most common for this one

Plug the Green cable into the TV green Y (PrPb) plug

then try it in all 3 of the DVD outputs until a picture is shown

you then have to determine which is red and which is blue

Flesh tone of faces is usually the easiest method

for tint determination
