Sony Bravia I just picked up this Sony Bravia 1081 40" LCD HDTV. I matched the connections from my old tv to the Sony. I have Verizon Fios and a dvd player connected. I am able to watch DVD movies- and get sound. I can hear tv stations through FIOS, but I'm not getting any video. Did I screw up the connections? or is there something I'm not doing right?

found the problem after reading a post on this site. Last thing I used was DVD player so disconnected DVD Sony player, followed the factory reset instructions and now the volume works normally! It was the DVD player. Thank you so much for the info and lead. The problem is DVD not TV,

when the sound goes out again ..try connecting a dvd with the same wires and input ...this will let you know if it is a tv problem ...and if it doesnt go out ...when you do this .. verizon need to check the sunrise readings to your set top box

Check the connection cable. If the Verizon box and the DVD player are connecting to the same TV input, ensure that the Verizon fios box is connecting to DVD input, and DVD output is connecting to TV.

If you connect DVD out to Verizon box input, and then TV , you will have to turn off the receiver box to see DVD.

If you use only one TV Input connect Verizon output to DVD input and DVD out to TV.

If instead you use separate inputs on TV, then try using the source/select input button on TV remote, and try different cables.

Regards.

the only thing that i can think of is that the cables and connections are bad but if that is not the case it may be the internal components of the tv. my guess is that the tv was dropped or jumbled around while transported and what happened was internal components were broken or just mixed up so go to the retailer and get a refund or a new tv. hope this helps

This problem appears to be an issue with numerous Sony Bravia owners of the same model. Although still seeking a soulution, it would appear that our cable provider (Verizon) has replaced all of their components and the Geek Squad from Best Buy where we purchased the unit, points the finger at Verizon. None of our other Fios-equipped TV's exhibit this problem so I am glad we bought the service plan with the TV and will continue to seek a remedy.

Go on the Verizon website and request a new remote, the Verizon P265 Remote model. It will have all the newest firmware and it should have the code. I know this because I had a TCL 32" TV and the code wasn't on my old Philips RC 1445302 model. TV and new remote are "talking" just fine now. Verizon won't even want the old one back.

The DVD player may have multiple output formats that can be displayed. Sounds like you have the composite output selected when you have the component output selected on the DVD player. Check the menu options on the DVD player and confirm they match the way you have the player connected

Just respect the colors. Green output from the dvd to green input tv, Red output from the dvd to red input tv and the same with blue. All 3 cables (green , red, blue) are for the picture, so you got to plug another 2 for the sound.
