Have a look on your tv and dvd for a rectangular socket with lots of pins.
If you have these sockets, just google for scart leads. If you do an image search using google you will see a picture of the connector. These are usually called SCART leads.

What kind of connection does the TV and DVD have? If it has reg cable you would put the coax cable coming off of the cable box to the in line on the DVD player and then connect another coax cable to the TV. If you have the 3 RCA connectors 1 white 1 red and 1 yellow you would connect it to an input in the back of the tv and follow the colors red to red white to white and yellow to yellow. Let me know if you need more help
It will depend on the TV/DVD combo and the DVD player. Most TV/DVD combos can have another device attached but you will need to get the cable. Since you posted this under the Insignia IS-DVD1001, I'm not sure which TV or DVD player you have.
In general, look at the back of the TV and the DVD player and see what ports are on both (input on TV and output on the DVD player). If you have HDMI out on the DVD player and HDMI in on the TV, get an HDMI cable and use that; generally you do not need the most expensive cables available. The next best choice is Component video and A/V audio. One cable with three RCA plugs (red, blue and green) on both ends carries the video and a second cable with two RCA plugs (white and red) carries the audio. The third choice is composite video or S-video and the audio. (Composite video is usually designated by yellow and is again an RCA plug. S-video is like a large version of a PS2 (keyboard or mouse) connector. All of these cables are available at electronics stores, stores that sell cables or electronic accessories.
If the two do not have the same ports, you need an appropriate converter (or modulator if the input port is the coax port on the TV). You can find many of these at RadioShack or online.
There are two other posts with the same issue. I had the same problem yesterday. First, I tried a DVD lens cleaner, but to no avail. Next I tried a manual cleaning with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. The problem still persisted and I noticed that the laser remained in the middle position each time I changed disks. I manually moved the laser to another position to see if it would make a difference. I finally got it to work by moving the laser to the home position (closest to the center). My DVD player is working now. I apologize for the travel diary, but the solution might have been a combination of the steps I took.
Remove the cover and clean the glass laser eye with cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. This will fix the problem if it is self-fixable. If problem persists, you may have to buy replacement or get new laser in yours
