I hope my solution may help you.
Thanks for using Fixya...;-)

Hello
Unfortunately your TV is only HD ready. This means that it plays video in 720p. A full bluray disc is 1080p. Im afraid your tv will most likely not be able to handle a bluray player.
:( sorry
Hope this helps

The cable box needs to be set to send different signals when using hd tv and standard tv. Usually a good setting would be 720p in hd and 480p in standard. The tv is working fine it is the cable box sending the signal. If you have another hdmi source such as a dvd player you may hook that up to show the tv is working just fine.

It may be the yellow RCA plug ,which is the one that controls the picture is bad on either end. Try this. Unplug the red connector from the DVD player and the TV. Plug that red connector into the Yellow jack on the TV and DVD player.If that works it means the yellow wire is bad. Just go to Wal Mart or Radio Shack and buy a new 3way wire system. Check to see how long you want the wires to be as there are different lengths available.

Try rechecking all wire connections for proper placement and fit too and from the tv.
Try adjusting the video format on the DVD, flip through 480p and 1080i. See which format works best with your tv. Do the same with Wii.

See if this helps.

hello try changing the picture ratio...what i mean is try 16.9 widescreen or 4.3 ledder box the tv is tryn to produce a pic bigger or smaller than what you have keep tryn different picture ratio's

If the input to a HD tv is not in HD format the tv won't display an image very well. Be sure your input to the tv is compatible with the tv's technology for optimum performance quality Also re-check the input source (such as converter box, dvd player, etc..) and be sure you have the correct input/output ports connected properly. Try to reset all yout tv settings back to manufacturers defult specs. When an input signal is sent to the tv most modern tv's have software built in to select the proper format to display the input image. There may have been a mismatch communication error when your tv software tried to "handshake" with your converter box input signals from its firmware. So try a reset solution and re-connect the tv without the converter and see if that helps. If not e-mail me and I'll determine if the tv needs technical servicing.

Sounds to me like you need to change your input feed oin the settings menu of you TV to HDMI. If it doesn't work then you can either return the DVD player because using an HD DVD with a non HD capable TV is pointless, or you can upgrade to an HD TV.

There is an input imbalance. Either try connecting your cables to different inputs on your TV, or try connecting to different outputs on your DVD player. (Only worry about the yellow video cable bit initially). Alternatively, try a different cable type; you'll have some ins and outs that don't use RCA connectors.
