  First, ensure the HDMI cable is not defective; replace it if necessary. If the issue persists, press the button on the remote control, and then press “731” on the numeric buttons to restore the picture. Alternatively, the picture should recover automatically after 10 seconds. Also, if the Blu-ray player is connected to an unauthorized display device via HDMI, the audio and video signals might not be output.
