If your DVD player has the RCA 3 wires you could buy the WPETCHP AV/CVBS adapter from Amazon for $20.19. I bought one for my directv football package and it works great. Leon

From the way that you framed your question, you asked it the wrong way. This tv accepts all connections from common devices. You should ask the question from your device point of view. "I have a dvd player with a HDMI connection, will this tv accept it? The answer is yes.

not sure this works. usually a DVD player has A/V (single pin) output jacks to connect to a secondary screen, not to another DVD player. unless one of the DVD players has input and output jacks at the same time which is not common in car DVD systems. so check carefully your DVD players for INPUT & OUTPUT A/V jacks if any.good luck.DJ.

Well, I am not sure what DVD player you have and what connection it supports. Generally it is not something you plug to DVD player.However, if your DVD player has a 3.5 mm jack and your external speakers support RCA plugins then it will work.

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.

If you have HDMI at DVD hook up cable one end to DVD one to TV. If you have RGB connect one end to TV the other to DVD(Be careful to match colors)Select Input on TV to what you have hooked up(HDMI or RGB)

Not only will this play a standard DVD but it also will link with other smart devices such as Samsung TVs. When enabled this was, when you insert a DVD and it loads, it will automatically switch the TV source to allow viewing of the DVD. Personally, I dont use that feature as I sometimes like the DVDs to load and play through all the previews before switching. One of the nice features that I like is that you can pause a broadcast TV channel and watch a DVD then switch back to where you leaft off on the TV channel. Pretty cool device. I use it only with broadcast TV (99+ channels) and have been very satisfied.

HDMI should handle it all - that's the idea. I have HDMI from my BluRay to my Onkyo, and an HDMI from the Onkyo to the HDTV. You could use optical, but should not have to. I use optical to connect the audio from my older DVD player to the Onkyo.

Why would you want to hook up a DVD player to your laptop and then run an HDMI cable to the TV? I don't even think that would work, althought I've never tried. Wouldn't it make more sense to a.) Hook up the DVD player directly to the TV and play DVDs like most people do or b.) Play a DVD on your laptop and then connect the laptop to the TV via an HDMI cable. Just my thoughts as I'm not sure of all the underlying reasoning.

When I connected this product to my HD TV which does not have an input for a PC, I used the DVD input connection and used my remote to select input from the DVD. It works fine. (I have a Blu Ray video player so the DVD connection was available). If you have a PC input on your TV and are connected, make sure you select PC input on the TV or using the remote.

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.

You'll need to purchase your own HDMI cable. The DVD player only came with component cables.

it will not work if your tv isnt HD. This cord is for systems that has HDMI port to connect to a HD TV that doesnt have HDMI port in the back of the system. does not work for old tvs lets just say it like that. and its also good for DVD player to connect to HD TV when dvd player doesnt have HDMI port. hope that helps.

I just tried it and it works great. I used the HDMI output and that is what I used to connect it to my TV's HDMI input.

It has multiple inputs and one output. Connect all of your source components (your DVD player being one of them) to the inputs and connect the output to your TV or stereo.
