Sound but no picture on my DVD player

Question

I have a new 2016 Forest River Micro-Lite and I can't get the DVD player to work right. I put a movie in it and I get the sound of the movie but no picture. I've tried changing different stuff on the TV but still nothing. I was going to take it back to Camping World and let them fix it but I was told they don't know how long it would take and I don't want to let it sit in there for the summer. I told the lady it might be operator error and if someone could give me a quick five minutes it might not be broke. But she said I would have to drop it off. Go figure!

Without knowing the DVD or TV models some obvious things to look for.

Does the TV give a picture on other sources?
Are the correct video cables being used? and are they good? (it would be helpfull to know if you are using video, HDMI, RGB cable)

My suggestion is to join the Forest River Forum and address your question there. This is a very active forum with a lot of knowledgeable people and it covers all the types of RV's that Forest River manufactures: Class A, Class C, towables, fifth wheels, etc.

I'm sure someone on that forum has experienced the same problem that you have and can give you assistance with it.
