Rear Panel Jack Problem

I purchased this tv secondhand from a friend. I tried hooking up devices to the rear panel jack, but the tv doesn't recognize the devices. The tv also will not go into AV1 mode when I go to the sorce menu-- it just goes back and forth between cable and AV2. Right now, i am just having tgo switch out the cables on the AV@ side jack to go between games, dvd, and cable. It is a pain and I want to use the rear panel jack. Why won't the tv recognize the jack?
