Can't get my hmdi to work on tv

It asks is it on

Short summary:

  1. Try using another HDMI port on the TV.
  2. If the issue persists, manually switch between all HDMI ports on the TV via the Input/Source button.
  3. Restart the Lorex device.
  4. If the issue persists, try using a different HDMI cable.
  5. If the problem still exists, reset the video output settings on the Lorex device.
    Hold the center button on the device for around 5-10 seconds.
    Check if you see the Lorex logo on screen after that.
    If the logo does not appear, disconnect the HDMI cable from Lorex, then connect the HDMI back while holding the center button.
  6. If the issue still persists, reset the Lorex device.
    Turn it off, and disconnect the power cable from the outlet.
    Press and hold the center button, and connect the power cable to the outlet, keep holding the center button for 30 seconds.
  7. After resetting the Lorex device, check if everything is working fine.

Hold the center button on the device for around 5-10 seconds, check if you see the Lorex logo on screen after that
If that will not work disconnect the HDMI cable from Lorex, then connect the HDMI back while holding the center button

If you can't select it is just a message like 'Check if your device' and no options for input settings from the TV
Let's reset the Lorex, please follow this:

  1. Turn it off, and disconnect the power cable from a outlet
  2. Press and hold the center button and connect the power cable to an outlet and keep holding the center button for 30 seconds
