bought a dvd player, but av channel is very wavy when the dvd is plugged in, been thru the channel tuning process but it seemsd to skip the av section when i try to fine tune it, any help would be appreciated, regards

A DVD player would connect directly to the scart socket on the back of the television and the AV channel selected and so does not require tunning but you may experience a problem if the DVD player has Macrovision installed (this prevents copying DVD's to tape by producing an unstable picture).

thanks for the prompt reply, but it appears that the av channel isnt tuned in properly as the picture is wavy, its the same if i plug freeview in to this channel too, its just that i cant seem to adjust any picture when its in av mode, dfo i need to get a repair done or can it be adjusted manually

Yeh it should work with freeview using the A.V button on the remote.
Enter the menu in the television and try both composite video and also RGB modes with a straight standard 21pin scart lead (not gold plated or using shared scart adaptor) and if no luck try chaging these same settings in the freeview but if still no luck try another scart lead.
