Can this be used for media players, such as cable box, DVD players?

It is much smaller than it appears in the picture. A cable box would not fit nor would a DVD player. At least the cable box and DVD palyer that i currently have. Hope this helps!

No. As others said, the shelves are triangular, relatively small, with no holes for cables out the back. This would not be a workable solution for electronics.

no, the back panels are solid. it also seems kind of narrow to house those items, also, unless they are small and rectangular NOT square.

No. This box is used to make an older television (with only one or two ports for rabbit ear antennas, vcrs, and the like) compatible with a dvd player or other newer electronic equipment that require a connection using red, yellow, white and black plug in cords.

I use this to switch between the TV signal and the wii. You just use the RCA (A/V) cables to connect the audio/video. I use it in conjunction with other equipment. This unit has the A/B switch built in. I'm not sure it will work in your situation.

You should be able to if the tv has output RCA jacks coming from the tv or dvd player. I believe most still do.

No because DVD players would need the opposite to this .. This is is d for plugging ing multiple audio divices together I use it with another chord to run a 7.1 surround sound for a computer thrpught my tv

It should, if your direct TV cable box has mini displayport vidoe/audio out. I have only tried it on computer.Be care though, mine only lasted three months, and I was only occasionally watching movie with it, so if you use it for TV...

It should. It depends on the input needed for your DVD player. If it is a 12V input, you should do fine, from what I have seen.

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.

I am using mine to route my dvd player, vhs player, roku player, and regular TV's antenna, into my TV, and it works great. I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to use it for your audio devices. Each of my devices are transmitting video and audio through the splitter. Hope this helps. Maybe do a Google search, to see if you get any other info that might help you out.

It depends is the correct answer. If your cable box settings under "audio" has a PCM selection, the answer is yes. See my review for more insight.

It should be perfect for that use. I have a cable box hooked up to an old TV and it works great.

I use it for my cable box and a blueray player that's plugged into the cable box. Works great.

Yes. They can also be used to connect your cable/satellite box, surround sound receiver, dvd/blu-ray player, video gaming, etc. Plus they are made of high quality components that provide high quality visual results.

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.

I use it on a Denon reliever, too. in the aux input though it should work in cd DVD or game inputs too.

Yes, if your TV has a mini outlet similar to an MP3 Player or Computer Audio Outlet. Otherwise there are adapters available that can do the job.

Yes, you can, but not directly use the DVD or other audio devices hooked up by cable or optical.
