Sign in to disble this ad
I used to be able to get the sound and the video playing on my blu ray player.
But for the last 2 week I only get the sound but no video.
I tried another HDMI cable, it didn't maake any difference, I changed TV resolution, I also set the TV to it's original settings.
Again no difference.
Is there anything else I can try?

If you've no video output via HDMI, go component hookup (RGB if the tv has it) or standard Yellow, Red White to see if there is any video at all. Have you cleaned the lens? I don't see how it would help / hurt but I also don't see how you'd get sound but no video, so it sounds like something is toast.

|  | Registered User | | | | maybe the hd output jack is bad.
same scenario as music equipment, board mounted jacks go bad, slight amount of stress will break the solder connections.
that is my guess anyways a good fix is to stop watching tv and practice more........sorry had to say it.  |

HDMI sucks!
Connect a cable with RCA plugs into the BD player's composite and green component jacks, plugging the other end into the composite video input of the TV. If you have a receiver between the BD and TV, make sure the settings didn't change (press the receiver's Menu button and if you can see that, the HDMI cable and TV are probably OK).
HDMI sucks!
The reason I wrote that you should only use the green jack is due to the fact that this jack is the one that has the video synch signal and you'll see nothing but squiggles and gray if you use the Red or Blue, usually. You should see a B & W image if you use the Green jack and if you connect a cable to the TV's composite jack, it should look normal. If you plug composite video into the green jack on the TV, it should be B & W, but a relatively normal image. Then, you can check all of the settings- the setup menu may not show up on HDMI if the BD reset to default and the video output was set to HDMI OFF.
By the way, did I mention that HDMI sucks? |

My T.V. has multiple inputs, and we have a DVD player, plus a cable box. They're hooked up on different inputs, so when we want to watch one or the other, we have to change input settings. A bit of a PITA, but what else to do? 
Other than that, you could have a bad cable, or a bad player.

It's the simplest connection ever, yet it it's the most difficult.
It's because of the handshaking anti-piracy crap (HDCP) they put in it. If that would go away, HDMI would be perfect...other than the crappy connection that is subject to fall out at any time.
