I have an old JVC TV - not a flat screen. I do have a cable connection. Will I be able to use this? (I'm a techno dunce.)

I don't have cable either. However, while I too am a techno dunce, I can only tell you it works on my TV which has a master antenna. Even though I don't need it, I still use the box that I got for digital use only because I like that it gives me more info regarding each channel. The set up seemed the same as it was with my old (not flat) screen.

This DVD player has both a hdmi connection as well as a RCA connection so you can hook it up to pretty much any tv that you might have. Just keep in mind that if you are using the RCA (red white and yellow ports) you will not be able to upscale your DVDs

The DVD has 1 video out and 2 (L&R;) audio outs that take RCA connectors- if there are matching inputs on the TV you're golden. As for the cable, you'll need a cable box. The co-ax cable will connect to the cable box then from the box to the TV. Your cable company can provide the converter box (usually a couple bucks a month rental) and cables can be found at almost any store that sells TVs. Radio Shack is usually cheaper and has a large selection of lengths in stock. All the plugs on the DVD player and TV will be labeled, just match the labels and plug a cable in. It should take 5 to 10 minutes to do. Good luck. The DVD has 1 video out and 2 (L&R;) audio outs that take RCA connectors- if there are matching inputs on the TV you're golden.

when you say cable I'm assuming you mean coaxial cable. You don't hook DVD players up like you do VCR's. Edward Basile pretty much answered this.

When you say "cable connection," do you mean coaxial cable only? If that's the only input your TV has, you won't be able to use this. I think the extra expense of this player's upscaling ability would be lost on your tv. You could get a less expensive DVD player with similar results.

Yes. There is an inexpensive adapter to allow the yellow/red/white cable and your cable line to attach to your cable connection on the TV. Amazon sells it under "cables and adapters" in electronics section..

It doesn't have a coaxial cable input. If your TV signal can be supplied with HDMI, VGA, or DVI, you're okay. If you only have coaxial or 300 ohm (flat TV antenna wire) this unit won't work for you.

I would venture to guess "No" unless you have an HDMI output on that older model RCA TV, which is possible as HDMI has been around a while mostly for computer monitor higher resolution connections. Can you take a pic of the back and post it somewhere and put the link in here (I doubt you can attach photo's here directly). A quick glance at the back in/out panel will tell me if this is possible or not.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

Thanks for that, Jim! That's about our setup, too, except that the only composite plugs on the back of our Sony TV are in use already - by an old VCR - and I wanted to use one of the set's open component video feed for the Roku. We still occasionally use the VCR for family movies, etc. So I was interested in the DV > component video adapter someone mentioned - since the Roku doesn't have component video outputs. Maybe I'll check Radio Shack or Best Buy.Thanks, Reid

VCR to TV type connection should be great. Problems occur when connecting high end computer graphics to high resolution monitor.

If your computer has an HDMI port to connect to the TV. I found the VGA connection to be rather poor. But when i connected through the HDMI it was flawless.

I understand the first part of what you said. I'll look for a TV with a VGA port. Is there a special cord or connector for that? The second part sounds like a lot of work just to watch a movie. I truly thank you for your help

All that really matters is if your TV can accept a yellow RCA [circle with 1 large whole ] , S-Video [circle with 9 little holes in it] or VGA input. [ trapezoidal end with 15 holes (typically blue) Check the back of your TV for input choices :)

you would have to get some special cables to connect to your computer.mine is hooked up to the vcr.consult radioshack.they would be better able at explaining it

I think you would need a TV tuner, cable box, or satellite TV box with an HDMI output. Connect that output to the HDMI input on the monitor and it should work. I haven't actually tried this, however, so I can't say for sure.

See response from jlukeraid. Just know that this is not a standard HDMI to HDMI cable.
884728
Yes, whatever you have hooked up now should work. The connection to the T.V is a simple HDMI cable.
2181867
You should be able to make this connection-if the TV has a vga connector on it. It likely does.

I know of no way to connect it to a TV. It is for connecting a video projector. There used to be a cable adapter that had a TV connection. But this one won't.

you would probably have to get an adapter...but we have had awful luck with this product...I would not recommend this video unit to anyone.

I sent an earlier reply, I called the friend I bought the adapter for. He replied that he likes it, it worked with his JVC and would recommend it to one and all.
