An HDMI cable is the only thing needed. HDMI carries both the video and audio in one single cable.Getting the audio to a stereo receiver requires a separate audio cable (probably optical) that will go from your HDTV audio output to your stereo receiver.If your stereo receiver has HDMI pass-through, you might be able to have the DVD HDMI cable go straight to your receiver, but then you would need a second HDMI cable to go from your receiver to your HDTV, which is MUCH more expensive than an optical audio cable in the scenario I described above.

If your HDTV is newer, you only need HDMI. However, some older LCD HDTV's have a DVI jack instead (google it to see the difference). In this case you will need an HDMI to DVI converter cable (20 bucks on Amazon) AND separate speaker wires to run the sound, as DVI only transmits video.

We took the receiver out and hooked it up to our TV. It will hook directly to an audio source. Not sure about plugging it into a DVD player, but will plug in to the television the DVD is connected to.

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.

you will need an RCA converter cable. with an HDMI connector at one end and the three (red,white,yellow) connector at the other end. so you can connect the dvd player to your tv.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

The connection from the player to the TV is with RCA audio/video cables. They were included with my unit.

Unless your TV has av slots on it, you can't hook it up. Everything today uses HDMI cables. Most TV's have at leastone AV slot, if it does you can use piggyback cables to the DVD If you are using av cables from the control box to the TV, you may have to use piggyback cables to connect to the DVD if you don't have more than one av connection. It will work.

You get a three connection video cable. You hook up to a TV with the video - left and right audio through the standard video plugins on the set. You only get the old standard TV video output so I don't know why you would use this as DVD player.

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.

Hello from Mediabridge... Joshua, I saw your question and thought I would answer since Amazon doesn't typically respond to discussion board posts. HDMI cables are used to connect compatible components such as television and dvd player. HDMI cables will provide digital audio and up to 1080p throughput if they are "High Speed" rated. If you have a 1080p television and a Blu-Ray player, you should be using an HDMI cable to connect them, yes. Be prepared to be amazed. 1080p pictures are breathtaking if you haven't seen them before.

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...

most dvd players has a hdmi connector at the back, so simply take your hdmi cable out from back of your cable box or satellite box and plug it to your dvd

I used standard "RCA audio/video cables" (you can see what these look like by searching Amazon for "Video Cables" in electronics) . I needed some longer cables so I went to my local RadioShack. These are available at most stores.These are not applicable to HD TVs. I don't know if there are adaptors available for that type of connect. Hope this helps.

We hooked my video cables from my dish network to the tv and the audio cables to the dvd player (red, white for audio, yellow for video). We bought the red, green blue cables and hooked them from the dvd player to the t.v. I hope this helps.
