55LE5400 will no longer accept digital input from blue ray player and DVD player.
No previous problems. I can hear analog sound from DVD player but "no signal" shows up on screen. Starting the blue ray player still can turn on the TV but then "no signal" shows up on TV.

* check your warranty and call for service.(But it looks like this is a very old unit if it's a VCR/DVD combo.
* Pull plug and count to 10. Reconnect.
* check power lights. Does it say Ready, blinking time (12:00), any indication that power is on? No lights? Bad unit. Discard.
* If power okay, press open tray. Opens? Remove Disk. Insert "Known" working DVD (use a new store bought DVD that the kids did not play.) Press play.
* Is the disk reading? The DVD display should have changed while searching disk. No? Discard unit.
* Is it playing (the movie time should change as the movie plays). No video? Check cables to TV
* No sound? Check audio cables to TV (Red and White RCA Plugs)
* DVD and VCR plays disks or tapes but nothing on TV? Does the TV have an "Analog" input? Newer 2018 TVs may only accept Digital input like HDMI. A few may have the Video/Audio RCA plug input (usually used by the DVD player) though Digital TV's tend not to have this input.)
* You may need to have your old VCR tapes digitized (especially family tapes) There are "Analog to Digital" cable sets available at your electronics store or online at Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XJKSJZ8/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B06XJKSJZ8&pd_rd_wg=gXyiO&pd_rd_r=YRNMX4PQ9FDXJNVGV81H&pd_rd_w=AMvcC
It will depend on your home theater system and TV. If your system accepts HDMI in from other devices and HDMI out to the TV, connect an HDMI cable from the blue-ray player to an HDMI input on home theater system. Then connect another HDMI cable between the home theater system and the TV. This will provide the best video and audio experience.
Another option is connect the HDMI cable from the Blue-ray player to the TV. Connect the audio output of the TV to the home theater system. (This will depend on the TV as well as the home theater system. Some TVs have digital audio outputs; others have analog outputs. If your home theater system doesn't have the same input as the TV's output, you would need a converter as well as the digital and analog audio cables. This is an example of one for digital to analog: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4907 .)
If you do not want to get the best picture from the Blue-ray player and your home theater system has analog audio inputs, you can connect the composite video out to the TV. Then connect the audio outputs from the player to your home theater system. (This means only an SD picture will be provided to your TV.)
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the other devices in your entertainment system or their inputs/outputs. Then I can add specific information for your system and any tips for setting up the system.
Lacking specific connection details. Check the cables, settings (digital vs analog) and assignment of the digital input that accepts the unidentified DVD player. Check the settings within the DVD player. SWAP the DVD player's cable to another input and see what happens.
Most DVD (and Blu-Ray) players have digital 5.1 audio outputs and some (like yours) also have analog outputs for electronics that lack a digital audio input (*).
I can't get a description (or picture) of the inputs beyond its having two, one 5.1 and one stereo. No mention of digital. Even at the lame akai site.
your reciever does not have hdmi, so the audio is not going to be true DD+ or DTS for broadcast tv.
if your dvd/blue ray player has digital optical spdif, this can be used to transfer the encoded DD+/DTS digital audio.
the besat way to run your tv audio through the reciever is to hook up the dvd/blue ray player up with (perferrably) digital optical spdif, composite spdif or (least favorably) through the stereo stereo analog inputs on the reciever for "dvd" audio in and hook the video from the dvd/blue ray up to the corresponding "dvd" video component input on the reciever.
this way is only going to get your dvd/blue ray sound, next you need to hook up your cable box to the reciever so that you can get broadcast tv sound. hook up the cable box audio to the "tv" stereo analog audio ins, and hook the video to the corresponding "tv" video component inputs.
the component video inputs have separate jacks for red, green and blue ( labeled "Y" "Pb" and "Pr") and are capable of carrying a 1080p full hd signal. use the component video outputs on the reciever to output the video signal to a component video input on the tv, using the receiver's input selector to change the video source.
Many of the current stereos and receivers have a toggle switch for analog and digital sound input, and many of the devices that are coming out like HD FM, DVD, Blu-Ray players, some higher-end MP3 players...etc. can output in 5.1 or higher surround sound. In order to control the individual speakers in a system like that though they have to send the signal out in a form of data that has to be processed by the receiver before it can be sent to the speakers.
So all that being said if you have an analog (or normal) device plugged into a receiver but it's set to listen for a digital audio signal you won't hear any sound at all. It works the same way if you have a digital device hooked up to an analog input.
To fix this just look through the manual that came with the stereo and see if there's a way to make sure it's set correctly for the device. Some devices also have settings you can alter on them so that they can send analog or digital signals to the receiver. I would say to check into whichever part is newer, and easier to work with. Once you get them talking the same language you shouldn't have any problem with it. Good luck!
There are several video and audio inputs named DVD. For video you have HDMI, component and composite. For audio you have standard analog stereo and digital coaxial spdif input. You need to configure the receiver to use the correct inputs - that means HDMI and coax. Also you need to connect the BD player via coax spdif cable to the receiver, because rx-v365 doesn't support audio via HDMI. If BD player has only optical output, use DTV/CABL HDMI input and DTv/CABL Optical input on the receiver.
I came across this problem yesterday. Digital channels sound... Analog no sound. press the tv button on your remote to change it from DTV/TV
go to any channel you want. press the menu button then go along to Sound setup. In there you will see quite a bit. I went down to an option in there.. it was sound input or something similar. this was set to BG I changed this to 'I' and the sound came straight back on. Hope this helps you out.
