It starts up with color bars on the tv and is unresponsive to the clicker except for the tray.<br /><br /> When working properly, it shows a big, ugly fullscreen menu on the tv, though it's probably less ugly on a modern widescreen digital display (strangely, 1080p doesn't look great on 4:3 NTSC), and responds to play pause etc. buttons on the remote.<br /><br /> Loading a dvd, then powering it off, then powering it back on usually works, but sometimes it takes a couple of cycles to catch. I'm thinking there's a power up delay in the new converter, so I may hook it up to a usb charger so it's always powered on, to see if that makes a difference. Right now it's actually more of a hassle than our old player with its sticky tray (which we still have). <span class="emoticon e_confused" title=":-S"><span class="e__">:-S</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42275.30&return_msg=42275.30" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42275.30"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42275_31"></a><div class="message" id="message_42275_31"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">14 Jan 2019 19:48</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 14 Jan 2019 20:02"></span></span> <span class="message_count">31 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.31">42275.31</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.30#a42275_30" target="_self">42275.30</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Could be a power up delay or it may not initially give enough power over the USB.
