01Using Component Cables
- Check if your DVD player has component video output. This usually consists of three colored cables: red, green, and blue.
- Identify the component video input on your TV. It is usually labeled as 'Component' or 'Y Pb Pr'.
- Connect the red, green, and blue cables from the DVD player to the corresponding component video input on the TV.
- Ensure that the colors of the cables match the colors of the component video input on the TV.
- Connect the audio cables (usually white and red) from the DVD player to the corresponding audio input on the TV.
- Turn on your DVD player and TV. Use the TV remote to select the input source as 'Component' or 'Y Pb Pr'. You should now see the DVD player's menu or video playing on your TV.
02Using a Coaxial Cable
- Check if your DVD player has a coaxial digital audio output. It is usually labeled as 'Coaxial' or 'Digital Audio Out'.
- Identify the coaxial audio input on your TV. It is usually labeled as 'Coaxial' or 'Digital Audio In'.
- Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the DVD player's coaxial digital audio output.
- Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the TV's coaxial audio input.
- Turn on your DVD player and TV. Use the TV remote to select the input source as 'Coaxial' or 'Digital Audio In'. You should now hear the audio from the DVD player on your TV.
- To view the video, you will need to connect the DVD player to the TV using other methods, such as component cables or a converter.
03Using an HDMI to AV Converter
- Purchase an HDMI to AV converter. This device will convert the HDMI output from your DVD player into AV (composite) signals.
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the DVD player's HDMI output.
- Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of the converter.
- Connect the AV (composite) cables (usually yellow, white, and red) from the converter to the corresponding AV (composite) inputs on the TV.
- Ensure that the colors of the cables match the colors of the AV (composite) inputs on the TV.
- Connect the power adapter of the converter to a power source.
- Turn on your DVD player, TV, and the HDMI to AV converter. Use the TV remote to select the input source as 'AV' or 'Composite'. You should now see the DVD player's menu or video playing on your TV.
