Question

I cannot see the picture on the tv when i play a dvd or cd in the lg dvd player but can only hear audio?

Answer 1

Something is wrong with the Video portion of your cable setup....

Either a bad video cable or a bad output jack on your DVD or input jack on your TV set.....

So here is a quick way to divide and conquer the problem....

Do you have anything else connected to the video jacks on the back of your TV set that works?  If so, see if you can connect that device to the input you are using for your DVD player....just make sure it's the same TYPE of connector ...either the Yellow jack for low def video or the combination Red-green-blue video for the component jacks.

The GREEN connector is the most important one on component inputs, because it's the one that can mute the picture if no video is present on it....

So if you have a yellow only output, it can be used to check the component inputs too.....

Once you know your INPUT JACK does or does not work you can swap your DVD player to another jack/input and see if it works on that one....or not.

The BAD DEVICE will always provide a BAD PICTURE , and by trying your equipment on different inputs will determine if your TV is Bad, or your DVD is Bad or your Cable is bad.....

All you need is two different cables, and possibly another DVD / Game / VCR to verify what is bad.....or another TV
