ok i just bought this lcd

[url=http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2651DXXAA.asp?page=Specifications][/url]

it has a hdmi plug on the back.

and I have this for a dvd player

[url=http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/en-US/modeldetail.html?ProductID=DRC8052N][/url]

also with hdmi plug


so heres the problem. i hook the the dvd player to the tv and it says no input signal.... wtf why not????????????

I toggled through the hdmi modes on the dvd player which is 480i 480p 720p and 1080i

only one that worked is 480i

and being completely new to this HD stuff I went and bought an HD DVD disc... and it doesn't play... that is because i need a dvd player that plays HD DVD correct? I wasted my money right?

k so please help me understand what the problem is that i have the cables hooked up and not getting any signal.

im confused i dont understand i need help!

there may be a setting on your tv for the dvd player resolution but in not sure. you are using HDMI cables for your dvd player to tv correct? and also you said that that the tv had no imput signal, yet you said you got it to work on 480i, so it does work? as for the HD DVD yeahhhh you have to have a HD-DVD player not a regular DVD player but HD-DVDs are fairly new, and quite expensive. so playing normal DVDs are still great if you feel your missing out on the true HD experience :)
