How to hook up when you have no HDMI hook up on the DVD

If your DVD player has HDMI, use it. If not, you'll need to buy a cord for it. Look on the back of the TV and the back of the DVD player. There should be colored connectors on each one. On the TV, it will be an input. On the DVD player, it'll be an output. There will be either 3 connectors or 5 connectors on the TV and DVD player. You'll need a cord with either 3 connectors on each end (red, white, yellow), or one with 5 (red, white, blue, green, red). Once you figure out which cord you'll need, buy it from any store that sells TVs and hook it up. The link below has pictures

The yellow/red/white cables are COMPOSITE cables. COMPONENT cables are RED/BLUE/GREEN. You can buy those at any electronics store. Your best bet, though, is to stick with HDMI if you can.

RED and White attachments are Audio. The Yellow is Video. Do not plug the Yellow into the Red/White/or black (if available). If you have HDMI, all of this would be solved with one cable attachment.

There are Blu ray DVD player that have audio out.

• Connect these audio out ( red and white ) to receiver aux audio in.

Sounds will be heard on your receiver.

Hi,

If you are going to hook up the DVD player to your TV through RCA cords, see the picture below.





Hook up the yellow RCA cord at the Video-in at the back of the TV and the other end at the Video out of the DVD player to get the video.

Hook up the red RCA cord at the Audio-in(right channel) at the back of the TV and the other end at the Audio-out of the DVD player.
Hook up the white/black RCA cord at the Audio-in(left channel) at the back of the TV and the other end at the Audio-out of the DVD player.

Red and white/black RCA cord is for the sound.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

both should be hooked directly to tv

VCR side of combo should be hooked up with composite video(yellow, red, white wires) to video 1 input

DVD side of combo should be hooked up component video (red, blue, green wires and red white for sound)

cable box should be hooked up HDMI or component to TV if HD or composite video if SD

hope this helps

good luck

The three picture cords (red/blue/green) often are a little larger around than the sound cords (red/white). If they are they same size, they are often grouped separate by picture and sound. Double check to verify if you have the "red" cords correct. Good luck.

U used the RCA component AV cable Y,R,W?Yes,the Yellow cable must have been damage,that the video out put cable.Ur DVD player have a HDMI port?Used the HDMI cable hook up for DVD player to ur tv HDMI port.HDMI cable better cable design.

Red is right channel, White is Left Channel, and Yellow is video.  If you just got the TV and DVD player its a pretty simple setup.  Just look on the back of the DVD player and hook the yellow cord to video and hook the other end to video on your TV.  Now just plug in the red and white cords to the audio on the back of the DVD player and connect the other ends to audio on the back of the TV.  You can bypass these connections and just get a HDMI cable which has video and sound all in one convenient cord, but they cost more.  You just connect the cord on the back of the DVD player where it says HDMI and then plug the other end to the TV where it says HDMI.

Make sure there are not two video outputs emanating from the DVD player - this is the classic reason behind b/w picture.
