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?

The video and audio are both on the HDMI cable so you should just connect and done. Thus I suggest you check the HDMI cable itself. Such as without the HDMI port, just plug the device (DVD, Cable, etc) to the TV and see if it works. Another thing to check is that the device (DVD, Cable, etc) has in the setup HDMI audio out listed. Last thing to do, is to turn off all devices connected to port and turn only one on at a time to prevent interference from the other signals.

I was having the same trouble, but I think I just figured out a solution, at least one that works for me. When I'm playing an MP4 movie off a USB stick, I get no sound. The secret for me is to hit the "Audio" button on the remote. You'll see some info in the upper left hand side of the screen. The default setting there is "1/2 AAC." You don't want that. Hit the Audio button again. You'll see that that'll switch the audio playback mode from "1/2 AAC" to "2/2 Dolby Stereo" ... and in a second or two the sound kicks in. Works for me anyway -- here's hoping it works for you too. I was having the same trouble, but I think I just figured out a solution, at least one that works for me.

I am having the same problem. It's saying something about playback might not be a feature on the DVD. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to > System preference > displays > click the HDMI output.Hope this work cause mine works fine.

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

It sounds like you may have had the same issue I had. I took it to a camera shop and all this guy did was push a few buttons on the HDMI and waited then the image popped up. So the key is fiddle with it and wait I guess.

I tried hooking up my Panasonic DVD/VCR but it does not display correctly. I have no idea what cables to use, I just used the ones I had on my old Sony, but cannot get a clear picture.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key. The last time I tried, it did not appear to work, and I recall recreating the files using handbrake or something in different formats, and was never able to make it work. I think I was about to unplug everything else and retry it when I gave up and put it on disk and played it through the blu-ray player. This is the link for my particular tv , which displays a list of the supported video formats. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201104/20110427083150372/BN68-01691A-02Eng-110427.pdf I took a snap shot, but apparently can't paste or attach via this communication mode. ( sorry ) there were some avi modes listed.

I understand that there is a firmware update that supposedly fixes this issue. Also, it is my understanding that TV must be hooked up to initially set up and play audio CDs and SACDs. As I'm only interested in audio playback, this is important to know. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps L.Go since you have the unit and have played the disks.

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

The only other thing to try would be an alternate HDMI cable, else contact AMAZON for a return/refund. good luck....mine worked great out of the box.

You have your HDMI plugged into the correct port? Make sure its on sat\cbl. It should work
