Check that connections are secure. And also does your tv have multiple inputs? Switch through the inputs to make sure you are on the right one. Or try using a different cable or use different ports. Also try connecting with the DVD player on and have like a dvd inside and see which input. Also try to check if the DVD player works

You need to set your tv to display from the DVD.

I've played around with different ports. I made them tight as I can. I'm still not getting any signal. DVD player works. What's the best DVD player for a flat screen tv? I have a sonny. I just got it today. Just getting frustrated.

Thank you.

Makes sure which connectors in back of the tv you are actually connected to some tvs have multiple connections for av as well as hdmi. For example if you hook the dvd to av1 then using the menu on the tv select av1 even though another setting on the menu says dvd you tv is not smart enought to auto select what you have hooked up. Now if you actually have a hook up in back that says dvd then hook the dvd player to that , that way when you hit dvd on the tv menu it should work.

Does the colors have to match on the TV connections?

This sounds like the same problem i'm having with my turntable....The TV wont recognise the signal despite being set to composite/component its connected via the multi plug red and white ...got two reds for some reason...plus lots of other colours..tried them all but still no signal..very confused..Turntable is pre amped..some one said you need a splitter lead thats red and white each end and a small jack plug built into the other end.. which goes in the black connector on the tv multi plug..off to get one today ...let you know if it works...

Thank you.i figured what was wrong with the connection.

The problem that Firecox has is different. Since the turntable is audio only the TV won't go to that input without a video signal. The solution is to connect a video output from another source. For example if your cable box is connected with HDMI then also connect the composite video out to the input that the TT is connected to,
