01What You Will Need

  • TV
  • HDMI cable or RCA cables
  • Power cords
  • Remote control (optional)
  • User manual (optional)

02Step-by-Step Guide

  • Place your DVD player near your TV and ensure that both devices are turned off.
  • Locate the appropriate ports on both the DVD player and the TV. Most DVD players have either HDMI or RCA outputs, while most TVs have corresponding input ports.
  • If your DVD player and TV have HDMI ports, use an HDMI cable to connect the two. Simply insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output port on the DVD player, and the other end into an available HDMI input port on the TV. Make sure to remember or note down the HDMI input number on the TV, as you will need to select it later.
  • If your DVD player and TV have RCA ports, use RCA cables to connect them. RCA cables have three color-coded connectors: red, white, and yellow. Insert the red and white connectors into the corresponding audio output jacks on the DVD player and the audio input jacks on the TV. Then, insert the yellow connector into the video output jack on the DVD player and the video input jack on the TV.
  • Once the DVD player and TV are connected, plug their power cords into electrical outlets. Make sure both devices are receiving power.
  • Turn on your TV and switch it to the appropriate input source. If you connected the DVD player using an HDMI cable, use the TV remote control to select the HDMI input you connected the DVD player to. If you connected the DVD player using RCA cables, use the input or source button on the TV remote to cycle through the available inputs until you find the one corresponding to the RCA connection.
  • Turn on your DVD player. If necessary, use the remote control to navigate the DVD player's menu and settings.
  • Your DVD player should now be connected to your TV and ready for use. Test it by inserting a DVD and playing it on your TV.
