Hi there

 

A couple of things to try:

  • Turn TV off, and plug HDMI cable into the other HDMI port on the TV, then turn TV back on again. Test DVD player
  • Try testing another HDMI cable (if you have one spare), as it may be a dodgy cable. 
  • Are you able to test the DVD player out on another TV that has a HDMI input (a second TV or a  friends / neighbours etc).  If that fails, you might have a faulty DVD player
  • At the back of the DVD player, it might have other inputs outputs like composite (Red/White/Yellow), try connecting it to the TV using composite cables and test out.

Cheers
