I have a DVD player that’s about 10 years old that I want to hook up to a TV that is about 15 years old. This would allow me to watch DVDs in my barn/workshop while I’m working on a project.
The TV has a standard, round, cable/antenna connector on the back and that’s it. The DVD has digital out, component video out and s-video out connectors… no HDMI.
Is there a standard cable I can get that will allow me to connect the DVD player to the TV so that I can watch DVDs on this TV?
ETA: You probably could replace your TV with one that has s-video input for less than that though. Many people will give you their old CRT TVs, if you just come to pick it up–check Craigslist.
Svideo won’t give a better picture, as the colour will have to be modulated into the B&W signal , to be the same as composite video … The sound is modulated to FM, and then all that is shifted up to a transmitter frequency … so the signal arrives as the TV as if it was picked up by an antenna.
