Sorry no need to SHOUT
This is a computer forum after all
Good thing I installed home theater systems for over 10 years
and might actually think about helping you LOL
remember we dont get paid here
stop using all caps
it is the computer version of shouting
anyway
what source are you hooked up to
cable,satellite,dvd etc
Usually will need to change the input on tv to
match your source
so for example if your cable is connected to Video 1
then on the remote you would look for a button labeled
something like (input) (source) etc and press it
until video 1 (AV1) is picked.
Make sure your source is turned on.
looking at this

and this

it is labeled as source
You need to look on input panel and see where your cables are connected
into (always a label on them)
Since you didnt give much info
It would help to know what is connected and with what kind of cables
Composite (Red White Yellow),HDMI,Coaxial (screw on cable type) etc
