I have a Emerson Tv that doesn't have a HDMI input is there a converter I can buy to hook my bp145 LG Blue-ray up

try connecting your blue ray player to HDMI 1.
A) If it works there, then you know the port on the TV is OK & the problem is with either your HDMI cable or your cable box.
B)If it still doesn't work then you may have a problem with the port on your MAIN PCB. if it's a new TV your warranty will cover that as long as the input connector is not physically broken.

Yes, IF your blu-ray player has another form of out-put like RCA jacks that match what your TV does have. Use this format. By not being able to use the HDMI port from your blu-ray player will only hinder video quality. Your tv that doesn't have a HDMI port already tells me video quality wont justify what your Blu-ray is capable of. Hope this helps.

Verify what input source your LG television is on. Using buttons on the tv or the remote you can change the input source. The input you want to choose needs to match the connection type of the dvd player. For example if you are connected using HDMI, than you will want to choose HDMI from the input source menu. There may be more than one HDMI so be sure to try each one.

Bluray output is 1080p. Your TV must be the same resolution for it to work.

HDMI cable will work great just plug the HDMI into the laptop and into the TV then select the HDMI for the input and you should be good to go

Make sure your X Box is switched to component and not hdmi.

LG documentation states:

When you use SIMPLINK function, you have to

connect to the OPTICAL IN 1 jack to enjoy TV
sound to your speaker system.

Basically you need to have the Audio go from TV to receiver and setup receiver to that Input to output surround sound to all speakers.

If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, hook that output into the receivers input and that should work.

My setup is DirectTv HDMI output goes into the LG Home Theater HDMI Input 1, and LG goes HDMI output into the TV HDMI input 1.
so to watch DirectTV, I switch LG Home theater to HDMI Input 1. and TV is on HDMI input 1 (to view LG HDMI output from DriectTV, Blu-Ray, Vudu, etc.)

you have to go to the input button on the remote and push HDMI

Had same problem with Panasonic PT60LC14 tv when connecting by HDMI cord to my PS3 and a blue ray disc was playing. First, read your tv manual to see what video inputs it supports . Then read the PS3 online manual (section on "video output settings").

For me I found out that my tv only supported 1080i (along with 480i/p, 780p) and the ps3 manual says blue ray outputs 1080p, so my blue ray discs will not play on my tv according to the PS3 manual. PS3 manual says to restart the ps3 (power off, then power on and HOLD for 5 seconds) - then the standard video output settings should be reset. Hopefully the ps3 menu will pop up at least. I haven't tried this yet but if it doesn't work, i'll may try to reset PS3 video out settings manually first using another tv that works with it ..

Yes, you can! But not straight out of the box. You need to purchase a DVI to HDMI cable adapter. It will convert it so your tv can use it. Here is a link to some:
