What to do if there is no audio or video signal via HDMI from Philips BDP5502?
- G
  Guy BrownAug 30, 2025
  If you're not getting any audio or video signal on your display device via HDMI cable from your Philips Blu-ray Player, it could be due to the unit being connected to a non-certified HDMI device. Make sure the display device is on the correct input or video source. Try performing an HDMI hotplug by disconnecting the HDMI cable from the display device, turning on both devices, and then plugging the HDMI cable back in. Check with the TV manufacturer for any available software updates and verify that the HDMI cable is a certified version.
