Need help in Connecting a new DVD player to TV........ I am not a techie person
I have a 2 yr old 52" TV and it does not have a DVD slot. Grrrr. Now just bought from Best Buy a separate plug in DVD unit. Then had to buy a HDMI cord. Thought it would be easy to just plug it in.....Nope.
What's the difference between an HDMI 1/ARC and an HDMI 2 port on the TV? Do I just connect HDMI Cable *1*2 of the DVD unit, directly to TV where I have two slots, an HDMI 1 and another HDMI 2? There are other choices which say "Connecting to TV via Sound Bar/AV amplifier (receiver)" What are they for? I have Comcast internet and TV service. What are the choices 4k AV amplifier and Non-4K AV amplifier choices for? Does this have to be wired thru the modem or directly to the TV? |
Not knowing the what tv remote you have, I suggest that you go to YouTube and search for "connect DVD player to tv" Watch one or more how to videos. Watch it several times. You will amaze yourself with new to you technology skills you can learn. Good Luck!!!

Do you have a soundbar or an amplifier, or are you just using the built-in television speakers for sound? If you want to use the built in TV speakers, just plug the hdmi cable into the TV, and the other end into the DVD player. It doesn't matter which hdmi input you use. It should work fine. If you are using an external sound source, it will be a little more complicated.

You can plug the DVD player into either HDMI outlet. When you watch a movie you will use your tv remote to change the INPUT from tv/cable to the DVD player. (When you press the INPUT button it toggles through the available inputs.)

In this persons hand is a HDMI cable, let's say it's connected to the HDMI port on back of your DVD player. On the lower left of this unit are horizontal slots that fit that plug, and written next to them is HDMI. They're probably listed as HDMI 1 and 2. Plug it into one of those, you might have one already in use with a plug from Xfinity, or Directv or a Firestick. That's why you have more than one, you have more than one source.
On the TV when you turn it on, go the menu and select the source for HDMI port you plugged into. The best cable for connecting, even better than HDMI, is optical cable. There is a jack in the upper left of his TV. It's just a single wire with a squarish head. That is the best option if you have one, if you don't, just stay with HDMI. https://media.product.which.co.uk/pr...le-into-tv.jpg |

This is my setup, the cabinet has the amp on the left, center speaker, and Directv and DVD player on the right, besides the center speaker there is 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers plus a subwoofer. The best way I found was to take a picture of the back of the TV and maybe the amp as well before you take it all apart. https://scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net...9c&oe=60592654 |

Get some wireless surround sound speakers. No wires all over the walls and floors

Plug DVD into HDMI 3 slot on tv, then press button on tv remote that is labeled source or input until it says HDMI 3. The TV input will be HDMI3 which your DVD player is connected to. The DVD remote should now allow you to play DVD

Open the manuals and look at the pictures if you don’t want to read. Today they are very detailed. There are also a lot of words but not that big.í ¾í·©
