I have been trying to hook up a regular dvd player to this tv...all I get is sound but no picture. Plus, there is no yellow hook up for the yellow RCA, so do I need to purchase an HDMI cable and a new DVD player that has an HDMI cable hook up?

i have a different model but similar issue- the color was only black and white. the green is a shared port so use it as yellow and go in to the settings - go to options then down to input options. then go to AV input and change the setting to VIDEO. I bought a tv and the online trouble shooter said bad tv so I ordered another and it did the same. this time I called support and they helped

Don't bother with the yellow cable. It only does the lowest quality video. Buy a component cable, if your dvd player has red.green.blue output and connect to the TV. Also make the audio connection between the two. Download the user manual from Toshiba for whatever else you need.

Hi Audrey, unfortunately the HDTV does not have a yellow RCA input, you would have to buy a new DVD player and hdmi cable in order to watch DVDs. Unless your DVD player has component inputs that match the same colors the tv's input, if that makes sense. Hope this helps.

Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs. Don't buy the expensive cables - but do buy good ones from one of the two I mentioned. They are both good suppliers - I have bought from both.Which cables you will need will depend on the devices. For example; is the the DVD equipped with HDMI or component or S-Video? RCA plugs for sound or optical.Better let your son know about each one ASAP so he can get the proper cables in time for him coming home for the installation (that's what I did for my mom recently).Good luckYou will really enjoy your new Samsung - it is a fine piece of equipment.Geo Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs.

I'm almost certain it came with AV cables (red, white, yellow). I don't think this was component (5). However, I'd highly recommend buying an HDMI cable if your TV supports it otherwise it's a waste of the potential this player has to offer in picture quality. HDMI will replace the need for AV or component cables.(Hint: Buying HDMI cables on Amazon is MUCH cheaper than heading to a department store--compare $5 per cable to $30 at the department store!)

You are right, Toshiba TV does not have a yellow input port for video but it has 3 inputs for HD video in just above the audio inputs (red and white color inputs). So if you own an old DVD player without the HDMI port, you can try to buy an eForcity HDMI to VGA/3 RCA cables on Amazon for $4.31. But I recommend you to get a blue ray DVD player with HDMI output to get good audio and video quality. They are quite affordable nowadays.

You need to hook up the DVD player and roku separately. You would buy this if you only had one input on your tv and this would be able to switch between which device went into the tv. This one also doesn't support hdmi at all.

Can anyone with this DVD player answer Keith's question? I'm interested in buying it but only if it upscales with component cables and not just HDMI

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

Just connect the hdmi cable from DVD player to your tv . It's simple . When you turn on DVD player on tv remote control find HDMI AND CLICK THERE and voilá ! Enjoy

The yellow cable is for standard definition television . plugging it in won't do anything. You have your audio cables (red and white) and your HD componet cables (Red green blue) and standard definition video cable(yellow) if you are not using an HD TV with component plugs such as an CRT TV the yellow video cable needs to be plugged in to the color coded slot (sometimes represented as a Y above another color slot)

This is straight out of my manual that came with the TV. Go to your source menu and scroll down to DVD. Select the DVD mode and then Insert your DVD. The data side of the Disc has to face towards the front of the unit. The player will load the Disc automatically and there will be an on screen indication letting you know that the Disc is reading properly. The DVD will switch to play mode automatically. The on screen Disc Menu will display for your selection. I'E' Play, Rewind, Fast forward, Etc. I have two of these 15 inch Curtis TV'S and both DVD players work just fine. If you still have problems with the DVD you might have to send the TV back for an exchange or a refund. Good luck! This is straight out of my manual that came with the TV.

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.

You would need a RCA cable, the cord that comes with the dvd player,(red,white,yellow)

It has 2 RGB inputs which carry the component signal. All you need is a RGB to component cable, you can get them on Amazon for like 4 bucks. Most DVD players have component out. By the way Component is capable of carring a full HD signal in analog format, you won't notice any difference in picture quality verses HDMI. RGB does not carry any audio signal. So you would have to hook up audio seperately.

Dang, I wish someone would reply to this. I've had this DVD player hooked up to a Sony 40 inch for a few days and I'm having the same problem.

RCA audio input on TV is fed the red and white RCA audio output of the little box - that's it, the TV will play the audio signal.The question is does the TV have the 3rd RCA input [YELLOW] for video RCA yellow plug from the little box?????If so you, are set to go.....ALSO IF NEW BLURAY PLAYER HDMI HOOKED TO TV HDMI DOES NOT ALLOW AUDIO SIGNAL TO PASS, PERHAPS HDMI CABLE OR BLURAY OR TV IS DEFECTIVE.....TRY TO DO SOME CHECKING.

If you are using an HDMI it provides Audio and Video. So you can HDMI your dvd player to the sound bar in one of the three slots provided and then use an HDMI cord from the sound bar to the TV. If it isn't working make sure your TV has ARC and go thru the menu options in the sound bar and turn on HDMI pass through. Hope this helps!
