I'm trying to watch the DVD here and I'm getting the sound but no picture. The display says "Root".

The wife suddenly remembered that she put something on earlier and was messing around with the remote and it went like that. I don't know if she could really do any damage like that but I'm having no joy getting the picture back.

Help!!

Sorry, can't help much. Try pressing the "Menu" button on remote.

You could also try unplugging the DVD player from its power source, and leaving it unplugged for several hours. It may reset itself.

Don't blame your wife or feel bad. Others have the same problem (here)

(Your real name wouldn't be "Clivey" would it? )

good luck

many dvds will support different formats for signal output - could be she changed the format to tv (interlace) or computer (prograssive). Try plugging it into a tv or computer monitor - could work then and you can change the setting back.

No, I'm not Clivey - I'd already seen that. I feel a bit of a saddo having the same problem as a Clivey who no-one wants to talk to. I can't reset anything using "Menu" because I can't see the menu.

Thanks for the suggestion pandit35, that sounds promising.
