Ok, I had my Vizio Blu-Ray player since Feburary this because my old TV with the built-in video & DVD players died earlier this year along with the fact that many of my movies are Blu-Ray/DVD combo packs. I found out a few minutes ago that it was being evil. When I tried to play my Dark Knight Blu-Ray, all I got was just the sound. I tried fixing the HD cable. So what else can I do?

Stuff like that, if it's not a problem with the cables, is usually a problem with old firmware. Try checking the official Vizio support page and follow the steps to install the latest firmware for your player.

did you switch your blu-ray output to a screen setting your TV can't do, like 1080p?

No, I haven't. The last time I messed with the settings on my Blu-Ray player was when I was setting it up after I got it from the local Super Target store.

Yeah it's probably because you need to update your firmware.

I figured out the problem. I just had to unplug the thing & plug it back in.

Well, that's true. At least, I figured out the problem.
