Please help -- how do I change the source so I can connect a DVD player?

Attach your DVD Player to an open HDMI slot on the TV, and use the Television remote to choose that same open HDMI slot, either #1 or #2. Use the remote to toggle between HDMI 1 or HDMI 2, which controls what source you are viewing.

on the remote (near the top) there is a source button, scroll down to the HDMI plug that has your DVD player.

From the back of the DVD player in the aux in use RCA jacks then to the back of your direct tv box or whatever cable provided box put the RCA cables in the audio out!

Not a clue.....I don't own this; bought it for someone else. But, I'd imagine you'd hook it as any previous DVD player; don't your TV's instructions give you a clue. The plugs are all color coded. Best of luck!!

The best option would be to hook it up via an HDMI connection. If you don't have an HDMI cable, you get one pretty cheaply on Amazon, such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-HDMI-Cable-Meters/dp/B003L1ZYYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373140097&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+cable If your disc player doesn't have HDMI, then the next best option would be to use component cables. It's a cable that has 5 smaller cables coming off the main cable that are different colors. The colors match up to the component plugs on the TV itself.

No. I bought one to do the same thing, but it wasn't the correct item because it converts "FROM" VGA, not "TO" VGA. There is another device (it's powered and about the size of a cell phone - it also costs between $25-$35) that converts RCA signals (from your DVD player) to a VGA monitor. You need a VGA cord (both male ends) to connect your monitor to the converter. I am assuming you have an answer for the sound part, since a computer monitor has no sound, with external computer speakers. I needed a splitter that takes the white and red RCA cords (left and right channel sound) out of the DVD player and turns them into a female connector for a standard input/output mic-style jack for my computer speakers.

You can connect it directly. It may not be the correct signal strength from the DVD and you probably won't be able to change the volume with a remote but it will work.

Many portable DVD players use proprietary 3.5mm cable scheme. So the conventional wiring will often not work.

Theere are two (inputs) on the RCA. I would connect one from the cable box and connect the other from the DVD. I would bypass the audio outputs from your TV if you use a cable box

Truthfully I haven't connected my DVD player but there should be three different cords, so just connect those three cords to back of tv. Red into red, yellow into yellow, and white into white. Then u have to go to the output( on your remote) and then just chose the correct output.. Hopefully this helps..

Press and hold the center button (play/pause) for two seconds to change source. Hope this helped.

Your DVD Player sounds like it has RCA out. You'll need to pipe that in to an RCA input on the TV, for which this cable will probably work, but with two spare lines left over. Or do as J. Darwin says, and get an RCA to component converter. You can then use this cable to go from the converter to the TV, and RCA cables from the DVD player to the converter.If the TV has RCA input (3 wires), the simplest answer is to just run an RCA cable (red, white, and yellow plugs) between the two. If the TV doesn't have RCA input, you might be better served to just buy a new DVD player that has component (5 wires) out. Your DVD Player sounds like it has RCA out.

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

I had the same problem. Fixed it using this solution here:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/109-home-theater-box/1481206-help-samsung-ht-e5500-keeps-changing-source-2.html#post23923247

I am sorry, but I am unable to help you. I use my RCA unit only for playback of DVDs...

I already had a little headphone jack gizmo that has the red and yellow RCA jacks at the other end, that I pugged into the DVD RCA female receptacles in the back of the receiver. The HiRes DVD player connects via a HDMI cable to a HDMI jack provided by the receiver. I use an iPOD. I already had this wire thing, you can get one at Amazon or down at a mall, I guess, if you can't wait...

Have you paired your source to the receiver? Have you selected the proper input-the adapter?
