My dvd player is hooked up to the samsung receiver. I am using two remotes, one is the cable box remote where I hit tv and power and then cable and power and then the red power button on the samsung remote and the tv comes on, I can switch to music on the radio and everything is fine but tried to use my dvd player for the first time and the dvd player comes on and is playing because the numbers are counting but can not get the dvd picture, the tv remains on. I tried hitting the dvd and power on the cable remote and that didn't work, then I hit the bd/dvd on the receiver and it didn't work either. I think I am just not hitting the right thing don't know what to do.

What you have to do is select the proper item on the receiver since that is what you have the dvd player connected to. Pressing bd/dvd on the receiver is not necessarily the right thing to do. All receivers have an input or source or function button that will enable you to choose the correct area where your device is connected. The way you have this hooked up may not be right but first things first. You will need to have a movie playing in the DVD player so that you see the numbers advancing. Go to each input/source/function on the receiver until you hear the DVD. Ok great! Now getting the picture is a little more tricky so please follow along carefully.

The cables going from the DVD player to the receiver: The cables should be connected to where it says OUT on the DVD player or hdmi out from the DVD player to one of the receivers INputs. Once that proper connection has been confirmed make sure the receiver is connected to the television for both video and audio. You must have a video cable as well as audio cables between the television and the receiver or an hdmi cable. If it is not connected to the television in this way that is the problem right there. In fact you probably have a cable going from the television's audio OUT going INto the receiver. In order to see your DVD player you will also need to connect the receiver's video OUT to the television's video IN.

You will need the television's remote to be able to change the source/input/video/aux on the television. You might be able to change it with the cable box remote by pressing tv and then input/source/video.


ALTERNATELY: You can connect the DVD player's Video OUT directly into the television's INput. The DVD player's Audio OUT cables would be connected directly to the receiver's IN.

Either way you will have to choose the correct input on the receiver as well as on the television itself.
Good luck!

Yo tengo un problema con mi TV, no se porque no se quiere ver el canal de IMPUT pulso el boton en el control y no hace nada solo aparece el numero del canal donde esta puesto pero no cambia a IMPUT, he revisado muchas veces el menu pero no se que hacer, parece como si estuviese bloqueado algunas opciones
