Could be the TV or the DVD player. First, I would check the DVD players owner's manual. You may need to select the HDMI output (and resolution) of the player as it may default to another output connector such as component video, if not manually changed. Also, make sure the output resolution of the DVD player is set to one that is compatible with your TV (start with 1080i it will always work with any HDTV). Contact Denon customer service if you have problems selecting the HDMI output. I am sure they can walk you through it.

When I hooked up the hd/pvr to it (into component 1) it has blue lines that slowly scroll up the screen. It doesn't do this with regualar cable nor the xbox. Would the cables provided be the problem or is it the box itself? I just bought an insignia lcd 42″ and the xbox i have hooked up looks great, and even my old digital cable box looked decent.

The set was fairly expensive so I presume it is something I have or have not done properly on set up.

When we pause a DVD, there is a humming noise through the TV. Before this DVD player, we had a Toshiba DVD player hooked up with no problem. To replace it, we purchased an Insignia Blu-Ray player and it caused the same humming noise. We returned it thinking it was a problem between Insignia and Toshiba...salesperson agreed they'd never heard of this before and recommended the LG player. Well...same problem, so are you aware of this and is there a solution? Thanks! We have a Toshiba 50HMX96 DLP and recently purchased an LG-BD390.

It looks fantastic, however after he left i went to watch a blueray disk to find it unplugged and not working. I looked at the back of my tv and all the of connection ports are filled with cables for the HD cable box. The only two free ports are HDMI ports. My question how do i connect my blueray player back? Am i going to have to unplug my HD cable box every time??! I am so frustrated! I was also going to by a speaker system and a wii today however it looks like i wont be able to connect them unless im missing something. Thank you for your help...i need it! hello
