DVD Player Recognition by Television...

Hello,
My DVD player is connected via HDMI to the television, and even though the HDMI cable is fine and the TV HDMI port is working, the connection between the player and the TV is not established. Is there any reason why, despite the proper connections, the "synchronization" does not occur?
Thank you
Tof

Hi Tof,

Actually, "Composite" is what I proposed you to do in my reply <6> (Audio: Red and White + Video: Yellow).

You can still try with the YUV connection since your TV and your home theater are equipped for it, and for that you need 5 RCA cables.
Here's an image, you'll understand better ;-)


You connect the RCA cables, Red (YUV); Blue (YUV); Green (YUV) to the TV and the home theater to get the picture, and then you connect the RCA cables for audio using the RCA outputs (Red and White) from the home theater to the TV which has the RCA AUDIO IN.

Well, I just downloaded the manual for your TV and of course Samsung has once again differentiated its connectors from other brands...

In fact, COMPOSITE [Yellow (video) + Red and White (audio)] and YUV [Red, Blue, Green (video) + Red and White (audio)] are essentially the same thing, their connection is summarized to a 2 JACK to RCA adapter, as you have already tried this solution, I suggest you wait until the lockdown is more relaxed to go to someone else's place to try your player on a different TV than yours.

If it doesn't work on another TV, then there is definitely a problem with your player.

As for whether the repair is worth it, don't forget that your player is already 9 years old, and it's already a miracle in itself that it has worked until now, the same goes for your TV ;-)

You could possibly ask for a quote as long as it doesn't cost you too much and also see if spare parts are still available for a potential repair, but who’s to say that once it's repaired, it won't be another part of the player that fails?

It's up to you to decide ;-)

Best regards and have a good afternoon ;-)

Hi,

You probably need to check the output in the player's menu

But for that, you probably need to connect it analogically, just for the duration of the operation.

I'm not sure, but I've seen that before.

Good evening,

Please note that some TVs do not "switch" automatically when an HDMI device is turned on; you need to select the source manually on the TV.

So, if the DVD player is connected to HDMI 1 on the TV, you need to select HDMI SOURCE 1 on the TV for the DVD player's menu to appear on the screen.

Best regards and have a good evening ;-)

Re,

You have to go by elimination: have you tried all the HDMI ports on the TV?

And if possible, connect it using analog on the TV just to see...

Best regards ;-)

Attached are the back of the player and the front of the television with the messages from the different sources which clearly show that the connection is working since I see it displayed (BD-HDD Combo) but when I select the source, I still get the no connection message.....
Thank you for your help
Best regards

Hi,

As suggested above, have you tried connecting your BD-HDD Combo in analog to the TV via RCA cables (Red and white for sound; Yellow for video)? Just to see if the transmission works in analog or not.

It would also be a good idea to provide us with the exact brands and MODELS of all your devices, I already suspect that your TV is a Samsung ;-)

Thanks in advance ;-)

To open Autoplay, click on the "Start" button Image of the Start button, then on "Control Panel". In the search box, type autoplay, then click on Autoplay. Or in "start", "search" type "autoplay".

Hello, when you put a disc in the player, it should automatically open on the TV. Of course, the HDMI connection must be properly connected to the DVD player.

Hi there,

For your response to be valid, the player menu would need to be visible on the screen, but since the signal transmission isn't working between the player and the TV, it's going to be a bit complicated to do; one needs to be a bit logical sometimes too ;-)

Best regards and good luck ;-)

Re,

So you're telling me that with an RCA (analog) connection there's no communication between the player and the TV? Is that correct?

I assume that aside from that, the TV is still functioning well?

We shouldn't forget that your devices are "already" 9 years old, which is an achievement, and for my part, I would think that the player is nearing the end of its life; no outgoing signal in either digital (HDMI) or analog (RCA) is a bad sign.

You should be able to try connecting your player to another TV; this would confirm whether it’s the player that’s faulty. The same goes for the TV, connect another device to each of the HDMI ports to see if the TV receives the signal.

You need to proceed by elimination.

Maybe we should try the Composite output as well.

Yep, that's not wrong, but if there’s no HDMI signal and no analog signal through the RCA, I'm afraid there won't be one on the composite side either, but you never know ;-)

Thank you Stargate 43 for these tailored responses.....
But what is the composite output?
And in your opinion, the repair isn't worth it!
When I can go out normally, I'll try the player on someone else's TV to see......
Best regards
