Make sure the item connected to the component is turned on. Also try a different TV or take it to a friend and see if it works there. That will at least narrow it down to the TV, cable, or the actual component.

SOURCE: 50" Vizio Plasma reads "No Signal" on all inputs?

Well, your TV is still under warranty. That's the good part.
The only thing I can recommend without voiding the warranty is leaving the TV unplugged for 30min. That way, the TV can reset itself and hopefully correct the problem.

If that doesn't solve the problem, it's time to use the VIZIO warranty.
Here's contact info if you need it.

No sound

sound problem is your input menu or your cables r plugged into wrong ports.push input ,go to s video ,component hdmi,or av 1 or 2
make sure,if your tv hasside av inputs,you plug your coverter box(direct tv etc.) into the side inputs,then use remote

If no power from external inputs,then most likely its an av axial capacitor only it will be grey and look like more like a relay

How do I hook up a HD satallite dvr to a av reciever dvd player and HDTV using HDMI cables

Things You’ll Need:
  • HD television
  • HD satellite or cable receiver
  • DVD player
  • Stereo receiver
  • AV cables
  • Cable connector
  • HDMI cables
Step1Examine the back of your HDTV. You will see a series of input jacks for AV cables, (typically color-coded white and red for audio and yellow for video), as well as an antenna input and one or more HDMI input jacks. There will likely be a number of them, but each one should be distinguished with a label ("video," "cable" or something similar). Step2Attach the cable connector from the cable or satellite receiver to the antenna input on the back of the TV. Step3Connect the AV cables to the DVD player, VCR, stereo receiver or whichever other component you wish to connect to the television. The cables should line up by color: place the white cable in the white input jack, the red cable in the red input jack and the yellow cable in the yellow input jack. All three cables from each component need to go into the same label input jacks. Usually, they will all line up in a vertical row. Step4Find the HDMI output jack on your receiver or DVD player (some receivers will not have them--they are necessary to receive a high definition signal--but can still play on the TV through the cable connector or AV cables). Attach one end of an HDMI cable to the output jack of the receiver and the other end into the input jack on the HDTV. Step5Turn on the TV. Access the menu with your remote, and follow any instructions it gives you. Your HDTV may require a few additional steps to complete the hookup of the receiver (though not all of them will). Step6Access the "input" button on your TV remote. This will allow you to switch the TV signal to one of the cable connections you have just made. For example, if you attached the HDMI cable to the first of two HDMI input jacks, the TV will flash "HDMI 1" on the screen to tell you that is where it is receiving its signal. Hope that helps..........

I AM TRYING TO CONNECT A DX-UPDVD2 PLAYER TO MY TV. I HAVE DVR FROM CABLE COMPANY THAT IS CONNECTED TO MY TV AND NOT ENOUGH PLACES TO CONNECT DVD TO TV HELP

Hello,
Depending on what type of connection you are using from the cable companies DVR to your TV and what type of connections you have on your TV you can try the following..
1. As your DVD player supports HDMI, component and composite video out, check to see which spare AV inputs you have on your TV and connect the corresponding free input on your TV to the matching connector on your DVD player. You will also need to hook up audio from the player to this AV input on your TV using the options available on your TV (either RCA phono or optical in).
2. If you have no other AV inputs on your TV then buying an HDMI switcher or a component switcher or a simple an RCA phono y cable for composite video will allow you to connect both your DVR and DVD to the same TV input.
Hope this helps.

How to Hook Up a Receiver to an HDTV

Though it utilizes the most sophisticated technology on the plant, an HDTV is extremely easy to hook up to a receiver. Home entertainment systems are designed for compatibility, whether it is a cable or satellite receiver, a DVD player or a stereo sound system.


Instructions

things you'll need:

* HD television
* HD satellite or cable receiver
* DVD player
* Stereo receiver
* AV cables
* Cable connector
* HDMI cables


Examine the back of your HDTV. You will see a series of input jacks for AV cables, (typically color-coded white and red for audio and yellow for video), as well as an antenna input and one or more HDMI input jacks. There will likely be a number of them, but each one should be distinguished with a label ("video," "cable" or something similar).

Attach the cable connector from the cable or satellite receiver to the antenna input on the back of the TV.


Connect the AV cables to the DVD player, VCR, stereo receiver or whichever other component you wish to connect to the television. The cables should line up by color: place the white cable in the white input jack, the red cable in the red input jack and the yellow cable in the yellow input jack. All three cables from each component need to go into the same label input jacks. Usually, they will all line up in a vertical row.


Find the HDMI output jack on your receiver or DVD player (some receivers will not have them--they are necessary to receive a high definition signal--but can still play on the TV through the cable connector or AV cables). Attach one end of an HDMI cable to the output jack of the receiver and the other end into the input jack on the HDTV.


Turn on the TV. Access the menu with your remote, and follow any instructions it gives you. Your HDTV may require a few additional steps to complete the hookup of the receiver (though not all of them will).


Access the "input" button on your TV remote. This will allow you to switch the TV signal to one of the cable connections you have just made. For example, if you attached the HDMI cable to the first of two HDMI input jacks, the TV will flash "HDMI 1" on the screen to tell you that is where it is receiving its signal.

Tips & Warnings

*

Not everything that can be hooked up to an HDTV is capable of playing in high definition. The signal needs to be HD as well, which means that only HD broadcasts, HD DVDs and Blu-Ray DVDs can play in full high definition (though "upgrade" DVD players will allow normal DVDs to play at an enhanced picture). You can still hook receivers up to an HDTV, and it will still play broadcasts from them as clearly as the signal permits.

Just installed my new 32le5300. Cant switch to dvd player. manual won't play on my imac. Can you help?

The manual is available as a PDF here: http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-lcd-tv-32LE5300.jsp . Click on Support and then the Televisions Manual on the right. Just above is a link to Adobe Reader if you need the program.

LG doesn't always support Mac systems but that shouldn't change the manual access if you have a working optical drive. If you have Adobe Reader, then the problem might be that the disc won't autoplay. Try manually accessing the contents of the optical drive. (Open the File explorer and then the optical drive.)

Next: is your DVD player a stand-alone device or is it part of the computer? How have you connected the TV and the DVD player? The model number would help. Generally, you need to change the source for the TV to match where the DVD player's cables are going into the TV. There is a button for this on the TV's remote (and on the TV, just left of the power button) - labeled Input. The DVD player should be off when the TV is turned on and then set to this source. (The TV can get confused otherwise.)

The HDMI and HDMI2 ports should work with a PC connection (1920x1080 with the input label set to PC for the TV if you change the label for the HDMI ports). The entire list of inputs should be TV, HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, PC (VGA), AV in 1, Component in 1, AV in 2, Component in 2, HDMI4.

I hope this helps.

When i press av on my remote control i have tv ext and digital options but where has the options for ext2 and 3 etc gone

Dont know your specific model, **** some new tv's will only allow access to av inputs that is connected with cables and a component. Move your cabling from ext 1 to ext 2 or 3 and see if you can access the av ext. If still no access on ext 2/3 the av input board or backup memory could be faulty.

NO sound and NO cable signals

Is your tv connected to your cable box through HDMI, AV, or component?
_____________________________

If its through HDMI then your cable carrier needs to load updated frimware in your box to communicate properly with your 2005 tv. The firmware loaded in your cable box needs to be "reverse compatible" for first generation HDMI from your 2005 tv. If your using AV or component hook-up and there's no sound then re-check all of your audio settings within the tv's menu. Also recheck the cable-wire your using and proper input/output ports.



ON your dvd player, is your tv connected through component, AV(rca) or HDMI?

If its through "component" then you need an extra audio cable to and from the DVD and tv.
