I like the price/offer, but do we need an HDMI cable if we get a new DVD player (ancient TV from mid-90s)?

It depends on your tv. One that old will not have an hdmi port, however the DVD player will. Though it will have the av cables too. So no, you don't need one.

Thank you, Erika. I'll be getting some inexpensive HDMI cables, then, most likely the AmazonBasics. Happy New Year!L

Nope, not necessary. You will probably want a 1.3 spec Cat 2 cable. That will set you back about $5 plus shipping. The cable people are at monoprice.com. Most HDMI cables are 6 feet. If that works for you this is what you should buy... http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=3992&seq=1&format=2.

No , you will need another source, I bought a Panasonic DVD player for about$120.00 which has Amazon Prime streaming on it works great.

Caitlin Gagnon, The HDMI cable is not included in the box. It would need to be purchased separately. There are a great number of inexpensive HDMI cables available on Amazon here that should work just fine:

No, you did the right thing. There isn't really any difference between component cables and HDMI. 91 bucks seems pricey, I bought one a year ago for 30 bucks. The only advantage over HDMI is it carries both audio and video. Also when HDCP is implemented you don't have to worry about your videos not playing over component, but that won't be done for years.

No, Most newer model TV's such as the Smart TV uses the HDMI cord. If you are hooking up a DVD/Blu Ray player check to make sure it is compatible before you purchase.

Yeah you can use both cable in conjunction with each other, but why? The reason for having an HDMI cable is to get get the best picture possible. I would recommend getting some more HDMI cables for your other components, that way you ensure your getting the best quality. If your DVD player doesn't have HDMI inputs, than you have no choice. The rank in video cables from worst to best is as follows: RCA, S-Video, then HDMI.

Yes. You connect an HDMI cable to the back of your DVD player and the HDMI connection on the back of you 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.

Well the question is, what's an old tv? You need to use an HDMI cable. So if your tv doesn't support HDMI then the answer is no.

You can also purchase HDMI cables at Monoprice.com..for around $5.00 and $6.00 for shipping..they are excellent..no middle man I was recommended by Audiophile/Videophile friends!

This may not help much, but if you have a decent cable provider you might consider having them hook it up for you. I have Cox cable, and they only charged me $12 to come out and hook up a new TV and DVD. Technology advanced beyond my capabilities a few years ago, much easier to let professionals do it, and the cable company tends to do it cheaper than (for example) Geek Squad, just FYI, hope this helps.

The only cable you will need to purchase is an HDMI cable! Everything else is included. :)
