  If your LG Portable DVD Player shows no picture on the LCD or TV, ensure the video cable is securely connected. Check that the A/V IN/OUT switch is correctly set: to OUT mode while playing a disc, or to IN mode while viewing video from other equipment. Also, verify that the LCD mode is not set to OFF and that the Brightness control is not set to the lowest level. Finally, make sure the TV is set to the correct video input mode to receive the DVD signal.
