I want to connect an "enhanced" Sony DVD player to my LG flatscreen, which has the 5 cable connect but the DVD player only has 3. Will this work?

Hello Kate, It sounds like you have a series of red, white, and yellow ports on the DVD player: red= left audio white= right audio yellow= video The 5 ports on your TV are red, green, blue, red, white: Red= red video Blue= blue video Green= green video Red= left audio White= right audio You would need to connect your DVD to a series of Red, White, and Yellow ports on the TV. Most TVs have both the 5 ports area and the 3 ports area to input a cable. You can use this Mediabridge 5 connector cable for that. Just use the Green cable to go into the Yellow port on both the TV and the DVD player. In this setup your Red and Blue video cables on the Mediabridge cable will not be connected to anything. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

yes, sort of. Remeber that the red and white cables are designed for sound and will work fine for the left and right audio. In the traditional 3 cable (red, white, yellow) the yellow is designed for video. in the enhanced 5 cable system they broke it up into three cables to improve the video. You can use one of the three in a three cable system but you will loose some of the quality. I doubt you will be able to notice a difference (i ran the cable through my wall and I am only using 3 cables too. I purchased the 5 cable version if I should ever upgrade to a new dvd player it will be ready without have to run through my wall again) yes, sort of.

You should be able to hook up a standard 3-wire cable to the TV as well. I have a Samsung HDTV, and the connections are set up to be 5 or 3 wire. For example, we had our Wii connected via a 3-wire component cable to the TV, and now we have our 5-wire DVR connected to the component connection.

Not sure, my understanding it will connect to any DVD player. Comes with cable connection.

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.

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'm not sure what 1.3 tech is, but I can say that I have never had a problem with my HDMI cables. I am running this TV through a Sony receiver using one HDMI. I have 3 other HDMI devices that are running into my receiver (DVD player, Xbox, and Directv Receiver). When you use all soney products, this TV will recognize the components. For instance, even though my DVD player is connected through my receiver, if everything is turned off, all I would have to do is pop a DVD into the player and the receiver and TV will turn on automatically.

Im not sure I would call LG thats what I did. They told me what I needed for my DVD player.

Yes you can. This TV has two HDMI inputs plus a shared component/composite input. The HDMI is best if your DVD player has an HDMI output. If the player only has composite and component, then the component output would be the next best choice. The component/composite shared input allows for either a component or composite connection, but not both at the same time. If you are using composite, plug the cable into the green input.

I have a sony blu ray player (HDMI) and an older Phillips TV. This converter works using the S Video input on the TV and HDMI on the player. Came with cables too. :)

I had problems connecting it using HDMI even though my TV supports this type of connection (HDMI ARC). This is an LG TV and I just couldn't get it to work. Ended up using the optical connection which works great.

I just checked my son's game. The instruction booklet is minimal but there is an adaptor plug that seems fairly standard. His portable Sony DVD player adaptor worked

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

Yeah, guess I'll be living with my old multiregion DVD player (a CyberHome) as well for a while yet... still hoping to reduce the number of remotes we have to deal with (I was happy that LG included program codes for a whole bunch of TVs, so I could get the LG remote to control my TV [a Philips LCD], at least!). Thanks for the pointer: here's hoping...!

Your cable box may have 2 output connections run a pair from that to the DVD player you should be okay that way!

I'm glad you asked that question. I am having the same problem hooking up an older VCR and DVD, and my new LG TV has only one set of red, white and yellow plugs, which I had to use with my Roku 2, ( I didn't want t use the HDMI, uses too much Mbps? from wi-fi) with this I can now hook them up. Thanks

as long as the TV has the connections yes. I have a 30" flat screen TV and it's connected with the (not sure what it's called) cable that has a red, white and yellow connectors on each end, one side of the connectors go to the TV and they other connectors go to the dvd play. It plays great.

Mine works also, I've tried it with HDMI and component using RCA audio cables. Bad thing is the player only outputs 480p? i? not sure through component if your using HDMI at the same time. My LG player doesn't do that..
