No sound with dvd player - advice please.

hethmar

Put on a dvd last night and whilst picture is fine there was no sound, tried a second dvd to check it wasnt a prob with disk.

I cant work out how the sound can suddenly stop on the dvd player. As Im useless at techi stuff, is it possible for that to happen or have I made a mess of something else?

The tv is definitely not on mute - the sound on the tv channels was fine.

What cable are you using?

Scart lead isn't fully inserted, probably.

If that doesn't fix it, swap SCART sockets. then swap SCART leads to narrow down the fault.

hethmar

Oh really, something that simple, that would be marvellous. I think I have an HDMI?

macman

So it's a Blu-Ray player? Same principle applies, isolate each component/socket in turn.

hethmar

Oh dear, no it doesnt do blu ray - but Im going down right now to have a fiddle with the leads.

Many thanks to everyone, the lead was a bit loose and Im amazed thats what the problem was - I had already started looking at a new DVD player, so many thanks for advice.
