How do I hook up my DVD player to my TV with cable?
Attach your cable to your DVD player. Plug the HDMI or s-video cable into the appropriately labeled port on the back of the DVD player. If you’re using an s-video cable, you’ll also need to plug the red and white RCA cables into the red and white ports on the back of the DVD player.
How do I connect my DVD VCR combo to my TV with a cable box?
If you want the cable to VCR to TV, then connect the cable box to the VCR with either an coax (standard cable line) or composite (red, white, yellow) to the input on the back. Then run a coax or composite cable from the output on the back of the VCR to the input on the TV.
Can you connect a DVD player to a TV with a HDMI cable?
Yes, you can connect an old DVD player to a new TV as long as your DVD player and TV have either HDMI ports or audio and video ports. Some old DVD players have both so you shouldn’t have any problem hooking it up with your new TV.
How do I connect my cable box to my receiver?
Connect the satellite (or cable box) to the AV receiver. Connect one end of another HDMI cable to the satellite receiver (or cable box) and connect the unused end of that cable to the TV/SAT HDMI input on the AV receiver (or simply choose any free HDMI input on the AV receiver).
Can I run my DVD player through cable box?
You can’t hook a DVD to a cable box. It doesn’t have inputs. If the cable box is connected to the antenna jack on the TV and that’s the only connection you will need an AV RF modulator.
How do you hook up a DVD player to a Comcast cable box?
Connect Your Xfinity TV to Your DVD or VCR Player
- Make sure your Xfinity TV and DVD or VCR player are both tuned to channel 2, 3 or 4 (depending on your converter).
- Connect the wires so the cable signal passes from the main source to the converter box, then to your television. Connect your DVD/VCR using the inputs.
Why won’t my DVD player work on my smart TV?
Ensure the video cable between the DVD player and TV is securely connected to both devices. NOTE: For best picture quality, use an HDMI, DVI, Component Video, or S-Video cable if both the TV and DVD player have one of these connection types. If not, the DVD player should be set to output an interlaced signal.
What channel does TV need to be on for DVD player?
DVD players will display on one of the Input or Auxiliary channels. They will not show up on Channel 3 or 4 like some VCRs. Some TVs will label the Input channels based on the type of input, such as “HDMI”, “AV”, and “COMPONENT.” Refer back to Method one if you have a question about which input type you are using.
