'no Signal!' On Hdmi1 Or Hdmi2 On Akai Pdp42z5ta

I just got an Akai TV and I'm trying to hook up an Apple TV and a Patriot box via HDMI cables.  No signal!  I've tried both cables with both devices, both cables running from my laptop, powering up the boxes/TV in different order, resetting the TV to factory defaults, but nothing. How can I get the TV to recognize an input signal on the HDMI port?  For now, I've got the yellow RCA video cable plugged in the the AV input so I can get a picture, but need some help getting it set up properly.  Anyone?
