No picture from a connected video device
If a video device (i.e. cable box, Blu-ray player, game system, etc.) that is connected to your system does not display an image on your TV, try the following:
See if the issue is with connected devices or the built-in video player.
Try playing a DVD on the disc player built-in to the system console. If the issue persists, see No video from the built-in DVD player.
Confirm the TV is on and the proper input is selected.
Some TVs have a feature where input selections can be turned off or hidden from the on-screen menu. For help changing TV inputs and enabling TV inputs, refer to the TV owner's guide.
The system will not pass a signal through in DVD mode.
Be sure the desired source is selected
Reset the connected audio or video device.
Electronics may need to be reset from time to time—much like rebooting a computer. Disconnect power from the device for 30 seconds, then wait for it to start up.
Check that that the correct audio input source is selected.
If multiple audio sources are available or connected, be sure the correct source is selected. For example, if the audio device you want to hear is connected to the auxiliary input, be sure that input selected.
