Do I have to have an HDMI Cable to connect my DVD player?

No. There are 3 ways you can hook up a DVD player, the HDMI being the best. RCA cable is one of the options.

No. Garbage in = garbage out. You must connect your DVD player using an HDMI cable in order to get an HDMI output to your TV.

An HDMI cable is the only thing needed. HDMI carries both the video and audio in one single cable. Getting the audio to a stereo receiver requires a separate audio cable (probably optical) that will go from your HDTV audio output to your stereo receiver. If your stereo receiver has HDMI pass-through, you might be able to have the DVD HDMI cable go straight to your receiver, but then you would need a second HDMI cable to go from your receiver to your HDTV, which is MUCH more expensive than an optical audio cable in the scenario I described above.

This receiver will up-convert from S-Video to HDMI, but you are askinig it to down-convert from HDMI to S-Video, something it is not capable of doing. Try hooking your dvd player to your receiver via S-Video and it should work fine.

I use an HDMI cord. You might want to look into a convertor box. It took me buying and sending back 7 different DVD player's before I went back to this one. Just a warning This is the 2nd time I bought this DVD player as all the other's didn't have what I wanted or needed.

No, but you can use HDMI cables or audio video cables to play games, DVD, or blue ray movies. Hope that helps.

No. This cable only works one way. You can send a component input (from a dvd player, etc) to a VGA input (a monitor or projector). I tried it the other way, just to see if it would work, but it doesn't.

Depending on your DVD player the highest quality is with an HDMI cable. There is also a component video input and a composite video input on the TV

yes we did. We have to go to input, top corner of the tv remote and change from HDMi mode to comp/av mode to use the dvd player. Then back again for tv. Only complication is having a tv remote, a cable remote and a dvd remote. Our cable guy was nice enough to mesh them all for us, but we still like using the separate ones for different features. :)

Your DVD Player sounds like it has RCA out. You'll need to pipe that in to an RCA input on the TV, for which this cable will probably work, but with two spare lines left over. Or do as J. Darwin says, and get an RCA to component converter. You can then use this cable to go from the converter to the TV, and RCA cables from the DVD player to the converter.If the TV has RCA input (3 wires), the simplest answer is to just run an RCA cable (red, white, and yellow plugs) between the two. If the TV doesn't have RCA input, you might be better served to just buy a new DVD player that has component (5 wires) out. Your DVD Player sounds like it has RCA out.

The main connection from this DVD player to your TV is the HDMI, it does have a coaxial connection but only 2 of the 3coaxial connections that most DVD players have

no, you need to buy an HDMI cable, then hook it up to an imput at the back of you TV that is not being used for HD or maybe your DVD recorder, make sureyou buy the one for HD TV if you have one, it will come with the 3 prone imput for non HD TVs...hope this helped

You need to hook up the DVD player and roku separately. You would buy this if you only had one input on your tv and this would be able to switch between which device went into the tv. This one also doesn't support hdmi at all.

No. This cable is for DisplayPort, not HDMI. If the DVD player also has a DisplayPort output (not likely) then you could.

Unless your TV has av slots on it, you can't hook it up. Everything today uses HDMI cables. Most TV's have at leastone AV slot, if it does you can use piggyback cables to the DVD If you are using av cables from the control box to the TV, you may have to use piggyback cables to connect to the DVD if you don't have more than one av connection. It will work.

I set up the TV with the regular cable and the power plug. I used a hi def cable for my dvd which I already had which you would need to connect a dvd player. I hope that answers your question.
