The dvd player is a combo unit with a vcr. Connected like this.Antenna to converter box-composite out of converter to composite in on combo unit-composite out of combo to composite in on tv. TV only has composite in(1) the coax in connection is broke on the tv. When playing a dvd I can still hear faintly the audio of whatever channel the converter was left on. If I unplug the converter the low level audio goes away. I hooked a pair of headphones to the red and white outputs on the conveter box with it in standby mode and you can indeed hear the audio of the channel its on. I canonly assume something is wrong with the converter-proably because there all so cheap.
