How do I connect my dvd player to my big screen tv?

Which connection do you use to connect your hdmi blueray DVD player to your big screen which is an older model tv?

• Answer:

  Televisions that are a few years old are almost certain to be standard definition and will have analog inputs. If that is the case, HDMI cannot be used as it is a digital signal. The television will also not be able to handle high definition signals. The only likely option is to use the composite or standard definition output from the Bluray player. Although the HD quality won't be seen, at least this will offer a way to watch HD discs. Almost all Bluray players have a standard definition output but each model is lightly different so check the manual for each one.
