Question: Connected with an HDMI cable, and trying to play a movie on a thumb drive, I can get sound but no picture and the message 'No display'.  Any ideas?
Document: I've had no problems with this Sylvania DVD player after 2.5 months of daily use. I'm using a HDMI cable to connect DVD player to HDTV. Playing rock music DVDs, I Get to view a great clear upconverted digital signal, showing a great picture and amazing audio. This is  great machine for price so i'll knock on wood that this Sylvania DVD player continues to perform excellent for me!
First one I ordered had a broken motor so DVD's would not spin at all. Using Amazon's web return interface I received a new one within days. Second player functioned properly. Excellent on the part of Amazon!Pros: Cheap, functions as advertised, easy setup, will play most AVI files from USB drive. The up-convert presents nice crisp pictures on the display (ours was a 22&#34; LCD).Cons: Does not come with a HDMI cable.
If you think you can play downloaded mp4 on a USB Thumb drive...forget it.It does not work. You get an obtuse menu and says it is not supported.Pass on this
When I received this item I plugged it in to an outlet and it wouldn't power on I got nothing, I tried a different outlet and still nothing I was so upset that I hit the side of it with my hand and it suddenly powered up. I guess it is VERY sensitive but since it did light up I figured I would try it out. After connecting it to my Sound System and TV I connected a Flash Drive to the USB Port which was what I REALLY wanted it for in the first place.
Good low cost HDMI Player with easy hook ups. Easy to read instructions Time will tell if it holds up. Fast delivery ! UPDADATE:  Well,  Now with 100 days on this purchase, this unit broke down displaying the message, " Bad Disc "  Upon calling customer service , listed in the setup booklet, I was advised by a person with limited english skills, that I should get a DVD player cleaner.
It is a very simple DVR and the picture is good. The HDMI quality is a good reproduction of the dvd or flash drive.
Unfortunately, we don't watch DVDs often, so I didn't try this out for a while after I got it. The first DVD I played was from the library, and I thought the vertical line in the picture was a flaw in the disc. Turns out it's on every movie I play, so I'm guessing it's the player. But it's too late to return it.
In order for me to access the back of my TV, I have to crawl under my staircase, since the TV sits right up against the wall. We had to saw a hole in the wall, etc., long story, lol. Anyway, I had to also buy an HDMI bi-directional switch since my TV only has one HDMI input and a Roku was already connected to that.This compact dvd player is fantastic; plug and play.
I purchased this player thinking it would be descent based on the brand name and on other reviews. It arrived and looks like a child's toy. It doesn't weigh anything and all of that would be fine except it won't play DVD's! I have tried more than 20 on different days and can't get any of them to work. They start to and then the picture goes to a still, then blank.
It works perfectly; great picture, great sound, nothing wrong whatsoever! I definitely would recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple DVD player.
Answer: Did you go to "source" on the TV's remote control, and choose HDMI ?
