Hello, looking for help if anyone can. I bought an Olivia 237T from Target on Black Friday. Don't have digital cable or sattelite. Just basic expanded cable. It does have the built-in HD tuner so I am geting a lot of over-the-air HD channels and the tuner is also picking up some digital channels as well. Happy with that setup for now.

Yesterday I bought a Phillips DVD Recorder/ VCR. IT said it had up-conversion with a HDMI cable so I bought one of those. My TV is 1080I. After I got everything hooked up I put in a DVD just to see what the up-conversion looks like and it was real cool but now my HDMI source is not working. I have to use it on the Composite source and of course it's not up-converting my DVD's. When I use the HDMI 1 or the HDMI 2 and try to play a DVD thru it the screen goes black for a second like it's going to kick in. (This is what it did when I first tried it and it worked the one time) but now it is not kicking in. It flashes the display properties on the screen when the black screen is there for a second and it says it is on 1080i playback but then all it does is go to a blue screen and flashes "no-signal". It seems like it tries it over and over because the black screen will pop up but then go away after 1/2 a second or so and go right back to the blue screen flashing "no-signal". I can watch the DVD's thru my composite 1 source but I am wanting the HDMI picture as you can imagine. Just not sure why it would work the very 1st time and now it doesn't.

Thanks

I would start with the connections. Maybe try another HDMI cable.

Yea, check the connections or check the settings on your player as to what the output is set to.

It also appears your TV is a 720p model. Set your DVD player accordingly.

# 16:9 Widescreen Aspect Ratio
# 1366x768 Resolution
