Do I have to have an HDMI Cable to connect my DVD player?

No. There are 3 ways you can hook up a DVD player, the HDMI being the best. RCA cable is one of the options.

I Doubt it. I purchased an hdmi cable to connect my dvd player to my tv. Mine is different from the one pictured. Mine is just a plain hdmi cable.

Can I use this cable to connect the optical outlet on my dvd player to an HDMI outlet on my TV?

It only has HDMI. You would need something like this. Lingstar 5Ft 1.5m HDMI To 3-RCA Video Audio AV Component Converter Adapter Cable For HDTV DVD

No. This is completely separate. Double check all wiring connections between your TV and DVD player and make sure you select the same TV input as you've connected your DVD player to.

I ran my HDMI cable directly from my dvd to my TV. You have to run a seperate sound cable anyway, so why add another switch and cable to it. Works just fine and no loss of pic quality.

Yes and know, adding speakers and perhaps your cable box and a DVD player is not hard (HDMI wires). The more important part is performing the calibration check which does check if you have the speaker wires correctly connected - can take a few tries but if patient, you can do it.

If you want to watch HD DVDs you need either an HDMI cable like this, or what's called a 'component video' cable plus audio cables. HDMI is cheaper, easier to use, carries both video and audio, and gives you the full benefit of your HD DVD player. Bottom line: use an hdmi cable with your new player.

Yes, your DVD will work fine... though limited in its connections, it is still a great buy. I listed all the info in my review. Nothing new that is not covered there already by myself and the others. The best manner to connect the DVD will be with an HDMI wire ($5 -$10) if the DVD player has such an input. If not perhaps a component video wire ( RED, GREEN, BLUE ) combined with RCA wire for the audio.

No. This cable only works one way. You can send a component input (from a dvd player, etc) to a VGA input (a monitor or projector). I tried it the other way, just to see if it would work, but it doesn't.

Yes the unit has HDMI and Video connections that will allow you to connect to most DVD players in the market.

No, but you can use HDMI cables or audio video cables to play games, DVD, or blue ray movies. Hope that helps.

You have to use an RCA cable. the red and white audio cable that "back then" came with your dvd player. You connect it from the audio out to the red and with dedicated input on the euroliveb205d. Let us know if you still have problems.

No. This cable is for DisplayPort, not HDMI. If the DVD player also has a DisplayPort output (not likely) then you could.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

Nope, just bought one. My tv is avi hdtv so have to get the adapter cable. Would be hard for phillips to supply a 30 dollar plus cable with ever dvd player for every type of set up. so only rca type composite cables are supplied.

It has 2 HDMI inputs 2 USB and 1 AV input. You wont need to connect a DVD player tonit as it plays DVDs. So you could connect a cable box and a PS3 and anything else without a problem. And it has great sound.
