No Video But Has Audio

Your TV and A/V Receiver components may need to be using different input or source settings in order to be able to find picture properly. This will be different in every home theater setup depending on the cables that are being used, and the different components that you have installed.

If you've got no video, there could be an issue with your system's inputs. You'll need to find out which cables are plugged in where and make sure your television is set to use that input.

For example: If your cable box is plugged into the 'HDMI 1' port of your television, you would select the HDMI 1 input in order to see picture from your cable box.

Locate the Input or Source button on your TV remote.
