I have a Samsung DVD player 1080p7. It's connected to a Samsung HDTV with digital cable. When I try to play a DVD I get a message that says No Signal. Do I have it set wrong, or do I need a different cable? I know the disk is playing because I can see the time moving on the DVD player.

Troubleshooting Tips
1. If your HDTV or TV has multiple inputs, make sure you choose the right input your DVD player is connected to, such as Video, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, Component, etc. Change the INPUT or source the HDTV is set to by pressing the INPUT button on the TV or its original remote. When you try different inputs, let the DVD player play a disc and output a constant signal.
2. If your TV has the correct INPUT or Source, unplug the cable and plug it back, or try another cable or port. Sometimes cable can short-out. Be sure they are connected securely.
3. Test if your DVD player works on other TVs. It could be your DVD player breakdown that leads to No Signal on your HDTV.
4. Try connecting your DVD player to another HDTV if your DVD player works correctly.
5. Check if your DVD player is compatible with your HDTV.
6. If the TV does nt work try to upgrade your DVD.
Hi:
Try disconnecting the unit from any power source and waiting for at least 10 mins before restoring power. This should reset the units microprocessor so you can resume playing.
Your dvd recorder only has rca, red white yellow inputs it wont allow you to record in HD, although you can play your comcast box any hd, regular digital through and record. Hook up the comcast box if HD through preferably HDMI if not get one from comcast. The HD box is the only box that allow HDMI, component and regular RCA and some RF out. This way you can play HD to your set but also record through RCA or RF again will not allow for HD record unless its TiVo. Hope this helps
You must have a digital tuner built in to the tv if you want to scan for Freeview digital channels. If you have digital cable or satellite the decoder box will unscramble the signal and send it to the tv through a scart connection or HDMI cable. Not all tv's have a digital tuner built in but if it is HDTV it can show an increased resolution image if the output from the cable box or dvd player is high definition.
Are you trying to record cable programming with your DVD recorder? If so, you might want to try using component cable as HDMI does have a copy protection circuit that might be preventing your recorder from receiving the image. Just try to connect the cable box component (RED/GREEN/BLUE) cable to your DVD recorder. If that doesn't work, then try to change everything over to component cables. HDMI is a great cable to use but it the only required to display 1080p images and the only current source that uses 1080p is a bluray player. Everything else, such as your cable box and DVD recorder is 1080i and component cables are perfect for it.
