How Do You Hook Up an Old DVD Player to a new HDTV?

Q. I have an Toshiba 42" 1080p LCD HDTV REGZA, cable box and a DVD Player. I can't figure out how to hook up my DVD player to either my TV. My cable cords use the same cords slots as my DVD player.

A. Since you said your DVD player is old, I assume it does not have an HDMI output. If it had component video (Red, Green, Blue) then you need a component cable and you can connect it to the HDTV. You still need red and white audio (composite) to get the audio to your TV. If you do not have component output, then your only bet is composite (yellow for video, red and white for audio). HDTVs are intelligent enough to recognize all the inputs you plug into them.

How do i get the best quality from my Xbox 360?

Q. We recently bought a 52" LCD HDTV. Right now we are playing the 360 in standard definiton just on a larger screen. If i buy an HDMI Cable, will that make the quality better? And is that all i can do to maximize the graphics?

A. For the most part, yes. And I'm assuming you have an Xbox 360 Elite with the HMDI port? Not all of them have that port.

You'll probably have to set your settings the first time you connect the HDMI cable, and based on the options you choose you should have a great picture.

After that the only thing you can do is buy a TV with a superb picture, but you mention a 52" LCD HDTV which I imagine will be perfect.

Oh, and another thing, the graphics will also depend on what game you buy. Some games push the power of the 360 to it's max and other's don't stress it out so much. Choose wisely.

Other than that, the only way to get better graphics is to buy a PS3.. Muahahaha.

Will a HDMI cable really change the picture quality of my LCD?

Q. I just bought a 46" Samsung LCD HDTV 1080 and was wondering how to get a better picture quality could anyone tell me what type and brand HDMI cable to buy? Would it really make a difference?

A. Of course the picture will look better with HDMI but only if your going to have a high definition source coming from it like HD cable, blu ray player, or a dvd upconverter, or ps3. But if your going to not have an HD source than a HDMI cable is useless.


Brand doesnt matter and the difference from a Monster HDMI Cable and a Phillips HDMI cable is minimal to no difference at all. so dont let the best buy employees rip you.
