Why there is no image from HDMI connection on Emerson DVD Recorder?
Check the HDMI connection and the status of HDMI related indications.

Also, check the HDMI settings and ensure the output format of this unit (HDMI FORMAT) matches the supported input format of the other connected device. If the unit is connected to an unauthorized display device with an HDMI cable, the audio/video signal may not be output when playing back a commercial DVD-video.

Ensure all connections are securely re-connected and that the connecting cord is not damaged. Check the connections to the amplifier input and verify that the input device setting on the amplifier is correct. Note that when the unit is in pause mode or slow-motion playback, sound is not output, and this is not a malfunction. Similarly, sound is not output in fast forward or fast reverse mode, which is also normal. Also, while the setup menu or timer programming display is shown or while the screen saver is active, the audio is muted.
