5.3 Addressing the “Audio but No Video” Problem
When experiencing audio without video on your Jensen DVD player, first inspect the connections between the player and the TV. Ensure all cables, such as HDMI or RCA, are properly connected. If using an HDMI cable, try switching to a different HDMI port on the TV. Restart both the DVD player and the TV to reset the connection. Check the TV settings to confirm the correct input is selected and that the video format matches the disc. If the issue continues, test the DVD player with another TV or monitor to identify if the problem lies with the player or the display. Consult the manual or contact Jensen support for further assistance if needed.
Connecting to Other Devices
Connecting your Jensen DVD player to other devices enhances your RV entertainment experience. Use an HDMI cable to link the player to your TV for high-quality video and audio.

Additionally, auxiliary inputs allow connectivity to external audio systems. Always match the component colors (Y, Pb, Pr) for proper video output. Refer to your TV’s manual for input selection. Test connections with another device if issues arise to isolate the problem. Ensure compatibility between devices for optimal performance.
