Hello, Mary -

Your cable TV provider probably requires all TVs accessing the cable service to have their own cable converter boxes.

Note: An extra cable converter box will probably cost an additional monthly fee.

We have AT&T Uverse as our cable TV provider and need a cable converter for each TV.

Is the HDMI port 2 work? Try to turn it off and turn it back on. If it is still not working then the HDMI ports have gone bad. You will need to replace the main board.

SOURCE: I have a VIZIO LED/LCD VF551XVT hooked up to a

I have this same problem, when I turn on the TV there is no sound. I have cycled through HDMI and off air signal and comp 1, all with no sound. The only way I can get it back is to go in to the menu and change the sound to fixed from variable, then it will pop back on. Since the lack off sound happens with digital tuner on local channel I know it is the TV and not my Direct TV box.

SOURCE: TV is hooked to comcast

Hi,
You need to select HDMI 2 in tv to get bluray playback picture and sound.
Select HDMI 2 source by either tv remote or buttons on tv itself then tv will show bluray picture.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

When I hook up my LG plasma to PS3 and Cable box, I don't get any sound or colour on the PS3. The TV /cable box works fine. Any ideas on the wiring?

What type of connections are you using? HDMI? Component? Composite? What audio? HDMI? Optical Digital? Analog audio?

Are you saying you get video from the PS3, but it is in Black&White only? Is there an NTSC/PAL selector on the PS3? If so, it may be set wrong. Set to NTSC if you're in the United States.

My TV won't play the sound from my laptop when I hook it up with HDMI cable.

Connect the hdmi (in) to the TV and the computer hdmi. Go into the sound settings (control panel or settings in Windows... preferences on a Mac) and choose the hdmi as the playback device. Also check the volumes on your TV and computer. If you said what OS and what version of that OS you were using, I could be more specific.

I have my television, cable box, and apple tv running into the tuner with HDMI cables with the tuner hooked up to surround speakers for the sound. I'm having trouble separating the audio and video. I would...

The only way you can do this is by connecting the Cable Set Top box HDMI directly to the TV HDMI input and switching the TXSR508 to Apple TV. And if you want to hear the Cable sound through the TXSR, connect analogue audio out of the TV to one of the analogue inputs of the TXSR ( Aux or Video In ). You may not get the Cable TV's Dolby 5.1 sound but you will get stereo sound which on using the TXSR's dsp setting ( ProLogic II ) can be made into 5.1.

Turns on but blank screen just says no signal. Also blinking red light

If you have an lcd or modern thin screen tv, go into your menu and make sure your input selection is correct. If you're hooking up to a cable network, you will want to select the HDMI input coming from the cable box (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.). This is for the newer cable systems that have the HDMI cable plugged into the tv. If you have the older, bnc connection (round with a wire in it), you will have to select TV or the input.
If all of the input selections are in order, you could have a faulty cable, or a bad cable box. Try to swap the box out with another tv, if available, to verify if the box is, indeed good.
If you have a standard tv, check the cable box on another tv, also, and swap out the cord to check it, also.
Otherwise, if the cable box is good, and the cords are good, you may have a problem with the tv itself, in which case servicing will be required.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

Hookup wrong? I can't get the menu to come up for the VR375

New HD tv. Have digital cable box connected to tv., cable box connected to DVD recorder, but can't get setup menu to come up on tv screen. I had a similar problem. I have a HD tv connected to a digital cable box. I hooked up the DVD recorder with the wires it came with, but it would not play or give me the menu. However it was correctly hooked up. So the next day I connected a HDMI wire from the DVD recorder to the tv and everything works now.

Sony str-dg820. having a problem getting video on tv

Hook up Composite / Component Monitor Out wire from receiver to TV video input because receiver will not change analog input into HDMI
You need to connect receiver and TV through analog video terminals as above.
Actually you are expecting that receiver will convert DVD player and Xbox analog video input into digital HDMI signal for TV and This is incorrect.
