01Check Available Ports

  • The first step is to check the available ports on both your DVD player and your TV. Look for alternative ports that can be used to transmit the audio and video signals.
  • Common alternative ports include HDMI, Component, S-Video, and VGA. Depending on the available ports, you can select the most suitable method to connect your DVD player to the TV.

02Using HDMI

  • If your DVD player and TV both have HDMI ports, you can easily connect them using an HDMI cable. HDMI provides high-quality audio and video transmission.
  • Here's how to connect using HDMI:
  • Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the back of your DVD player.
  • Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your TV.
  • Turn on your DVD player and TV.
  • Use your TV remote to select the HDMI input channel that corresponds to the HDMI port used.
  • Your DVD player's screen should now be displayed on your TV. Enjoy your movies!

03Using Component Cable

  • If your DVD player and TV have component ports, you can use a component cable to connect them. A component cable consists of three color-coded cables - red, blue, and green - for video, and two additional cables for audio.
  • Follow these steps to connect using a component cable:
  • Plug the red, blue, and green cables into the corresponding component video out ports on your DVD player.
  • Connect the red and white audio cables into the corresponding audio out ports on your DVD player.
  • Plug the other ends of the component and audio cables into the matching component in and audio in ports on your TV.
  • Turn on your DVD player and TV.
  • Use your TV remote to select the component input channel that corresponds to the component ports used.
  • Your DVD player's screen should now be displayed on your TV. Enjoy your movies!

04Using S-Video Cable

  • If your DVD player and TV support S-Video, you can use an S-Video cable to connect them. S-Video provides a better quality video signal than composite.
  • Here's how to connect using an S-Video cable:
  • Plug one end of the S-Video cable into the S-Video out port on your DVD player.
  • Connect the other end of the S-Video cable into the S-Video in port on your TV.
  • Plug the red and white audio cables into the corresponding audio out ports on your DVD player.
  • Connect the red and white audio cables into the corresponding audio in ports on your TV.
  • Turn on your DVD player and TV.
  • Use your TV remote to select the S-Video input channel.
  • Your DVD player's screen should now be displayed on your TV. Enjoy your movies!

05Using VGA Cable

  • If you have a DVD player and TV with VGA ports, you can connect them using a VGA cable. VGA is commonly used for computer monitors but can also be used for video playback.
  • Follow these steps to connect using a VGA cable:
  • Plug one end of the VGA cable into the VGA out port on your DVD player.
  • Connect the other end of the VGA cable into the VGA in port on your TV.
  • Plug the red and white audio cables into the corresponding audio out ports on your DVD player.
  • Connect the red and white audio cables into the corresponding audio in ports on your TV.
  • Turn on your DVD player and TV.
  • Use your TV remote to select the VGA input channel.
  • Your DVD player's screen should now be displayed on your TV. Enjoy your movies!
