Will this connect from a DVD player to a VGA monitor? What about sound? Where/how would speakers connect to this and/or the DVD player?

I think it should connect to the monitor just fine. There are to RCA output on the device that would connect up to speakers. Depending on the speakes you may need some RCA adapters for that as well.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

The HDMI signal from the DVD player has the audio encoded into the video signal. This unit breaks out the video to VGA and the audio into an analog L/R signal which you could feed into an audio receiver which is required to amplify the sound so one can hear it. Powered computer speakers may work as well if the appropriate converter is available.

It comes with an optical cable to connect with the corresponding outlet on your television. That allows you to send DVD and Blu-Ray audio through the speaker. Unless your DVD player can also play CDs, running that audio through your speaker could be a problem.

The VGA/SVGA does not carry a sound signal if you were to get a video signal you would still need a audio cable. Also I think their is a digital to analog issue there. Hope the info helped Happy NY

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.

Since no one else has answered this, I'll give it a shot. I'm not really sure, but I don't think you would get sound if you hook up a DVD player or a cable box to this monitor, even if you are using an HDMI cable. Also, I don't know if there would be any way to adjust the screen size and resolution to get the best picture out of the monitor. There may be workarounds for both, but I've never tried it.

Mine registers my wii and dvd player well. I don't know about speakers alone, my surround sound is connected differently. I have to unplug the power cable for the little white box and replug it back in each time i want to use it, for some reason it wont register if i dont. But i have never had connection problems besides that. I have a vizio smart led tv and i connected the box to a hdmi cable and then to the tv. For the price its a decent find. If the price ever goes up though I wouldn't buy since i do have to replug it every time i use it.

Yes If the DVD Player has Video RCA video Output (Yellow connector) or SVGA connector. The speakers (RCA red and white) are low power so the sound will not be so good. Beware It's 800x600 resolution so the image will not be the standard 1080p

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

VGA does not transfer the sound. It only sends a video signal. To transfer the sound, you will need a separate Headphone (computer) to RCA (TV Audio) cable.

This HDMI to VGA adaptor works great for the video only. No sound. I hope this helps.

It will connect to just about anything especially if you have any type of dvdplayer with aux hookups, it provides two aux hook ups which i plugged to dvd player than from dvd player i used the s video directly to tv, you cannot just plugged to tv speakers it was a little weird

It is only a monitor. it has RCA jacks in and out. we hook a portable DVD player to ours through the AV out into the monitor and play the sound through our vehicle speakers.

Ann, These speakers need to connect to a receiver or amplifier. You can then connect the DVD player sound to the amplifier or receiver as well.Eric C

There are "Video" input jacks (audio only) on the back of this receiver. You can connect your dvd player's audio cables into this jack. Note: you cannot use a digital coax or any other digital cable. It has to be regular analog interconnects. And, as "Outlaw Audio Seller" has already stated, this is a TWO CHANNEL STRAIGHT STEREO RECEIVER. It is NOT multi-channel.

I have the speaker hooked up to my tv so when I use my dvd player the sound goes through the speaker. I don't know if you can hook the speaker directly to a dvd.

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!
