How do I connect a flat-screen TV on a wall to a DVD player?

• Answer:

  Before AttachingFor the least hassle, connect the DVD player to the TV before attaching it to the wall-mounting bracket--as the bracket can block access to some inputs, depending on their location. Connect them with an HDMI cable, if your DVD player offers it, for high-quality video and audio and because it takes up much less space than the five-prong component A/V cables. Insert the cable into its input port, and attach the TV to the bracket, taking care not to bend the cable at its connection point.After AttachingMany flat-panel TVs also provide HDMI, composite and other input ports on the side and rear. Connect using these ports if space is an issue and if the rear ports are blocked by the bracket. Or, swivel the TV on its bracket (if possible) to get the best view of the back side, grip the cable (or cables) near the plug, and maneuver it up under the bracket, line it up with the input, and press it in securely.Advanced MethodIf you feel confident in your handyman skills, you can hide the cables by cutting two holes in the wall: one at the level of the DVD player (and other components) and another near the wall bracket. Run the wires and cables between the two and connect them to the TV inputs before mounting the TV on the wall.Source:http://www.tvwallmountguide.net/http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/plasma-TV-wall-mount.html
