Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?
as above
As I understand you just connect it to the TV, am I right?
I have followed the guidance in the SOny handbook
I got you, let me provide you with instructions on how to connect it again and we will follow them, ok?
are the two compatable?
Yes, sure
Could you, please follow the instructions I am going to send you, and let me know if any of the steps are not quite clear?
I'll be happy to clarify them to you!
ok go ahead
- Unplug your TV from the wall socket and turn off the DVD player
- Locate the Input panel on the rear of the TV and find the "Composite In" or "Video In" ports.
These are small, circular ports that are yellow, red or white. Locate the "Output" panel on the rear of the DVD player and the "Composite Out" or "Video Out" ports.

Ok, then just connect it with your HDMI

Turn on the power for the TV and the DVD player.
Press the "Input" or "TV/Video" button until the correct input for the DVD is select and the DVD player screen appears on the TV.
