Make sure it's connected to the TV via a component video cable (it's a 5 plug deal) or HDMI cable (if your TV has one).

Congrats on your purchase!!
Thanks Cherney. Okay, I just looked up the DVD player that got tossed in for free and it is an upconverting DVD player. I've got all the cables, too, so we're good to go. Sweet!
