The thing must have been defective to give him a shock like that. There’s no VGA output or input that would cause a shock on a normal DVD player or TV, even if you linked input to input. Looks like it had a short.
Even a “short” in ANY of the outputs would not do that, it’s all low-voltage past the power supply.
Totally unrealistic, but then, this IS a comic strip and the laws of reality do not apply. Otherwise, the Coyote would have been dead the first time he fell off of a cliff.

That DVD player didn’t last long in his hands.

Famous last words: I don’t need any stinking instructions. I know what I’m doing!

I’m like that: I HATE manuels – it’s like reading a novel in technicalese.

real men don’t read instructions or ask for directions and when they do they still get lost…

Since when do signal hookups, even wrong, cause a power outage?

That’s probably what happened to the first one. Hooey! What guy doesn’t know how to set up a DVD? Desktop, maybe, DVR, maybe, but DVD?

All these years and he still doesn’t know better.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

The old one was hooked up before so he knows how to hook it up.

Look at the bright side, it’s probably still under warranty.

REAL men never read directions or ask for directions. Didn’t you know that?

So am I really the only person on the planet who can get a significant shock off of a cablevision cable?
