No composite out
It will be helpful to determine if the TV is capable of displaying another source on the composite video input, first. This will verify that the composite input / TV / etc. are functioning properly. If it does, next we'll have to determine if the composite output of the BluRay Disk (BD) player displays on another TV (this may be more difficult - but is an excellent way to be sure the BD player is working). If you have negative results with both possibilities, it may be a problem with the cables. This can be as a result of damage or incorrect termination (an audio output connected to a video input, etc.). Check that the cables with YELLOW plugs is terminated in the VIDEO jack on both devices. The remaining LEFT and RIGHT audio cables should be terminated in their respective AUDIO jacks of both devices. If you get sound but still no picture, remove the cables from the jacks on both devices, and use the RIGHT audio cable to connect the VIDEO jacks of both devices - try with the LEFT audio cables if you still do not see a picture. If one combination provided a picture, it means that the cable with the YELLOW plugs has failed (and one or more of the audio cables is GOOD). If no combination worked, all cables may be damaged, or the wrong A/V input on the TV has been selected, or the wrong A/V output (HDMI, composite, component, etc.) of the BD player has been selected. You should consult the BD player's manual to determine how to reset the video output to composite. On many devices - if there is a mismatch between selected outputs and connected outputs, you will not be able to view any picture. You'll also have a problem if EITHER the TV or BD player are not designed for connection to AC mains that is being supplied to them (if connected to 50Hz system - both devices must be rated for 50Hz; the same holds true for 60Hz systems and devices). Hopefully, this will solve the problem & good luck!
