Can you tell me if your using Composite (Which is the yellow RCA style Connector), S-Video (which is usually a single black connector), or component (which is Red/Blue/Green).
You may need to go in the menu options on your tv for the appropriate video input. Select S-video if necessary for video input on that channel. If that is not the case you may need to reverse that and select in the dvd players menu S-video. Im assuming that its S-video by the tv.
But if you don't have any video then you are unable to view the menu. So in that case what we need to do is. If it has Composite and you are not using it. what you need to do is hook up the Composite yellow plug into the corresponding jack. Then see if you can get video. Once you have video you can then select in the menu of your dvd player what output source to use. In your case this will be S-video.
If you can give me the dvd player make and model. I can give you the exact step by step. This is just a general FAQ for the information I have. -Thanks Nate

I too had the same problem. On the Vzio there are AV plug ins on the left side (not the back, but the left side). Use these jacks when connecting to the DVD player and choose the AV button on the TV remote. Viola!
sometimes you can get the cable mixed up on the video. Make sure you have the right color cable in the right slot. The white and red cables are for sound only and they have to connect in the same gouping as the video cables.
What kind of cables are you using to hook up the DVD to the TV? Are they they composite, component, or S-Video? What are the connectors you're plugging both ends of the cables into labeled? Are you plugging the audio cables into the TV or directly into the sound system?
Are you using the component (RGB) outputs, and a Sony TV? I believe that there is something in the output of at least some Panny DVD recorders (over the RGB component path), which Sony TVs don't process properly.
