BIG PROBLEM! please help

[roccostiffready]

Recently I purchased the NAD T773 A/V receiver. The reason for the purchase is because all the composite, S-video and coaxial inputs on my TV do not work anymore. I got a quote to fix the TV at $700-800 and 3 to 4 weeks to fix. I figured invest the money into a receiver.
When I try and connect my S/D bell receiver to the TV through the T773, I can see that the TV switches but it tells me it has a 525/60 signal. I can hear but I can not see anything. The TV is a Sony KE-42ts2u. I've played with settings on the receiver and the TV but I get nothing.
Can anyone help me to get this to work?

Thanks,

Mark

sit down, take a breath and start again.

Offhand, it sounds like a conversion/scaling problem but without more info, not too much I can say.

What type of input are you using on the TV? Composite, component, HDMI or what? What's it's resolution?

What is an S/D bell receiver and how do you have it connected to the NAD? Composite, component, HDMI or what? What resolution is it outputting?

As for that "525/60 signal" message, I'm totally lost. Is that generated in the TV or the receiver? You might want to check your manuals for a translation.

How did you connect the receiver to the TV if none of the composite, s-video, or coax video inputs on the TV work? Does the TV have working component video inputs and you used component video from the receiver to the TV?

If you did use component video connections to the TV, how is the bell receiver connected to the receiver? If is by anything other than component and the receiver doesn't transcode composite or s-video to component, that would be the problem.

for what it's worth, I found this on the web.

It says great things about the sound, and I have no doubt it's true, but it's strangely lacking any iinformation on video switching which leads me to believe it doesn't do upconversion or upscaling. Considering it's basically a 2004 model, that's not surprising. If that's the case, you may not be able to get there from here.

...but I think you knew this already, didn't you? http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29079

Not knowing what the S/D bell receiver is, but you said it tells you it has a 525/60 signal but no pictures, may be somehow you are trying to feed a North America's 525 line 60 Hz (NTSC) signal to a PAL TV that only accepts 626 line and 50 Hz power, just guessing.........

Does the S/D bell have selections for PAL and NTSC?

SD BELL is short for Bell satellite dish, Bell Canada is the Network. Nad nice for music! IMO you should of bought the Marantz.
