Standard TV Compatibility? Is this DVD player compatible with a standard TV?

It has an S-Video output and composite stereo sound output on the back. I hooked it up to my old Sharp stand def TV, reduced the video to 480i and change the sound to stereo. It looked just fine. I think the bigger question is your future expansion plans. Are you thinking about getting an HDTV within the next year or so? Do you need DivX playback? Do you need HD? Because if not, there are many inexpensive DVD players out now that you can get. Then when a year passes either a better product will be out, or the price of this DVD player will have dropped. Good luck!

No. This is completely separate. Double check all wiring connections between your TV and DVD player and make sure you select the same TV input as you've connected your DVD player to.

If your DVD has an optical Toslink audio output and your TV has a digital coax audio input, then yes, this is the proper device. However, if you're talking about connecting a DVD player for both audio/video to a standard coax cable/antenna input, then no, this is the wrong device. To do that... If your DVD player has composite output (red/white/yellow plugset), use Audiovox part # CRF907R If your DVD player has component (red/white/red/green/blue) or HDMI, you probably should return the DVD player and find one that supports composite video, or you should probably replace the TV.

It should read standard DVDs just fine. If you are trying to watch a digital movie, it has to be in MPEG-2 format.

We have used our dvd player as our streaming unit. Our tv did not have streaming capabilities. Hope this was helpful.

Thanks N. Singh. Glad to hear about the standard def direct TV box. Still puzzled why the 910 will upconvert the TV signal (both audio and video) coming in via component but only the video and not the audio signal from the DVD player also coming in via component.

Honestly I don't know. This television did not work when I received it. It would not even turn on so I couldn't see if the DVD player only took blu ray. Very disappointing.

will accept any type dvd player. I will add that I'm very dissatisfied with this tv. I would not recommend it.

Yes it will. Blu-Ray players will play standard dvd and usually upconvert them even, though standard non blu-ray players upconvert ones or not WILL NOT play Blu-Ray discs.

Yes, there are component outputs and the resolution can be set to match the TV you connect it to. As a blu-ray player it has HDMI and full 1080p, but even the HDMI connection as well as the component connection resolution can be set to 720p. Standard DVD play can be upgraded to 720p. This is a very capable player with outstanding abilities and functionality. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD and Blu-ray discs.

It can be connected if the tv has composite audio outputs. Some older ones however, only have inputs in which case you can't. If that is your situation though, you can always connect the video (yellow) output from the dvd player to the video input of the tv while the audio outputs (red and white) go to to the audio receiver.

It is backwards compatible so will work like a regular DVD. Will play regular, blu ray and 3D DVD's. You can't run 3D unless you have a newer 3D TV, but any tv will show a regular or blu ray DVD.

Hi, The DVD player Support just support the Analog TV, but not digital TV. Hope you can install the antenna and the channel search. Hope this helps.

That is not true as I only use standard DVD's and it is beautiful and works perfect. I really like this TV and would definitely buy it again as it does exactly what I purchased for.
