The problem lies in modern LCD TV's. They all use some form of auto-sensing to "see" what's being input and switch modes accordingly. I have the same problem with hooking up my retro consoles on a new-ish Sony LCD TV. Sometimes it just wont latch onto the video signal and and all i get is audio, no images. The only "remedy" is to keep power cycling the console until it does get detected correctly. Very frustrating

I have my N64 connected to a modern Panasonic LCD. Sometimes I have the problem that MK_II describes (also with the PS2), but this occurs very rarely. Maybe in one of fifty cases when powering on the console. I think what Huachiman said is more likely: You have to choose a different input on your TV. There's almost always a button on your TV-remote where you can switch video inputs. On my remote it's labeled as "INPUT AV", or sometimes it's "SOURCE". You have to press it multiple times to choose different inputs.
