Cannot play a dvd on Sony living room tv

[JJC]

For the life of me, I cannot get a DVD to play on our Sony TV. we have a '13 Landmark and I have checked the cables. Sounds plays from the surround, but nothing on the TV. I tried resetting the HDMI from the TV settings to. No avail and I'm sure I have the right input selected (see attacHed pic).

I would appreciate any insight.

Most likely the sound is playing from the surround sound. Is that correct?

Maybe run a separate HDMI cable directly from the Surround Sound to the TV input, to verify you do not have a bad cable hooked up now.

Also check where the HDMI cable is plugged in. It may be plugged into the wrong input or output.
Or just try selecting another HDMI in the TV input menu.

Ours quit working. It "ate" DVDs and refused to give them back. The DVDs wouldn't play either. We replaced with Sony home theater (with speakers) from Walmart for $198. We didn't replace the speakers as they were same connection so we boxed up the extra speakers and will be putting them in storage.

Correct. Sound is coming from the surround. I've cycled through all the inputs, but I'm sure the dvd is HDMI 1 as I traced the cable from the DVD to the TV and even reseated the cable to ensure a solid connection. Since I have sound (just no video) and the DVD plays on at least two other systems, I believe the DVD is fine.

Try switching the HDMI cable to a different HDMI input on the TV . . .

And if that doesn't work . . . try a different HDMI cable.

Last resort after trying different HDMI cables and HDMI outputs/inputs, might be going to component (RGB) or video (yellow phono plug) output/input connections (if available). I believe HDMI output in the DVD is a separate IC from lower generation styles of output chips, and this IC might have failed. Also, contact restorer spray can work wonders.
