How to Connect a DVD/VCR Player to your TV

[@carolynkauppila346]

Thank you from the bottom of my old grandma heart. I was organizing my stash. Records, CD's ,VHS tapes. And remembered I have a vcr/dvd player.I knew the DVD player had died along time ago. But going through my old VHS tapes there were some I really wanted to watch. I also have an older tv that I don't use. Thanks to you I was able to do this myself. Grandma is happy.Thank you again.

we are trying to show my grandpa old DVD s and we've been trying for months :( tech uncle can't help either :(

[@linnieg3246]

Such a cute comment. I second that.

[@smileyone1612]

Thanks so much! Got a used vcr/dvd player off of Ebay. My son won't be here for awhile, and I needed to make sure it was working properly before the return period expired. 63 years old, and feel pretty darn good about doing this myself! Only because I watched this video!

60s year's are awesome

You’re the best

[@catoob8372]

smiley ~ I couldn't have said it better. this simple video is exactly what I needed. now I don't feel as much of a stupid old fool as I thought I was.

[@patriciafaison9197]

This by far has been the most helpful and uncomplicated tutorial video I have ever seen. I was just getting ready to either return VCR/DVD or go to a local Shop and most likely ended up wasting money. Thank you so much!! You're an awesome Teacher.

[@candacelaska5151]

Me too

[@uniquenessunicorn3518]

Thank you so much for teaching this semi ole lady how to hook up my go video (DVD/VCR) machine I rescued from my previous home that I was going to discard after watching video after video on how to hook it up to T.V. Thank goodness your tutorial explained that that on the back of a T.V. the Y is for Yellow/Video no matter if the Y is displayed with a different color. My T.V. has the Y in mint green leading me to believe I had to have a mint green connecter. HAHA! It was like a light bulb went off and an Awwwww moment! Now I can watch my old VHS tapes and DVD's knowing that with your help, I did it without giving up or asking for help from my loved one. I feel victorious!!!! Thank you so much!

[@SierraJude]

I can't thank you enough Peter! Was about to toss my equipment thinking it was too old to connect to a newer TV. I'm so grateful to you as I can use my VHS/DVD player again!!!

[@lisajosvanger2432]

Thank you. I have been fighting with this off and on for a month. I was convinced that I had to buy different cords until I saw your video instructions. So easy!!!

[@leanageraghty7489]

I've watched SO many videos that didn't explain exactly how to do this but yours was easy to follow and I got this done in no time at all. Thank you for your help....loved it!!

[@Lena-Holley]

Thank you for clear and specific step by step instructions. This video blessed me with a quick fix. I had everything right but could not find out how to set the channel. On my smart TV , instead of ATV , I had to change it to COMP (Composite). Best video for novice in 2020 👌🏾

[@jacksinthebox01]

Oh My Gosh, you are my hero of the night!!! I spent hours trying to figure this out. We rented a movie for my grandson and he got so tired of me trying to figure this out that he fell asleep. Oh well, thanks to you, he can watch it tomorrow. Thank you!

[@mikehoncho6324]

Thanks so much! Me and my grandma found an old collection and she got to see her parents who passed a while ago. This video is truly a blessing. I hope you and your family stay healthy. Again, thank you.

[@saltwatertaffy7020]

You are an angel! Thank you!! I have to lose weight, and I thought I would have to buy new cds to replace my old vhs tapes; you saved me a ton of money!!

[@LuisMorales-if4hu]

Don't know if you are still there; but from the bottom of my heart a big THANK YOU. This video is a MUST and you are an excellent teacher You saved my marriage !!!!!

[@musu8410]

Thank god for you I found my VCR player from 2005 and it was never opened and I could finally watch my favorite movie Independence Day.

[@fayesalomone7678]

Thank you thank you thank. A simple, straight forward, unsullied direction. Hooked up it about 45 seconds!

[@dianew.1767]

Thank you so much for taking the time to help people like me who had no idea how to hook it up. Others who said their yellow hooked in to the green one was what got it working. Thank you again!

[@kevseb66]

OMGOODNESS!!!!! Would you believe I've been trying to figure out how to get my VCR/DVD player to work with my flat screen for at least two years. To say I'm not tech savvy is an serious understatement. I was literally heading to Best Buy tomorrow get some advice since I want to be able to view some of my favorite Christmas videos. I followed your simple directions and just like that my vcr is finally communicating with my TV. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@taraknight413]

I was sitting on this floor for about 10 15 mins before I said forget it and came to KZbin because I knew this question of how to hook up the DVD player to the TV would be here for those of us who forgot because of Netflix and Hulu and peacock.... Thank you.......

[@kaybonette]

My husband just found you today. I bought a Visio tv and a Panasonic dvd player at our local Goodwill this morning. We tried putting the colored wires into each and we got nothing. Then he watched your video. You said to push the AV button on the tv remote. By golly we got George Strait in Pure Country. Yay thank you so much.

[@theredheadisreading2251]

This helped me with my DVD player! The yellow spot on the TV was green for some reason, but it had the right label. Thank you!

[@HelmetVanga]

Thanks. Peter you made it clear.... you showed the DVD/VCR player and the back of the TV.. good video. Other videos just show yellow, red, white but you do not know if it is the back of the TV or VCR..... But you Peter made it very clear... I got my connection in 3 minutes. Thumps up.

[@precisionbrown6829]

Lol now who feels like an idiot? I’ve been a musician for over 25 years and like a moron I had to watch the video Thanks dude. To the point short and sweet

[@Gemmeg2120]

Omg thank you!!!! I could cry! You saved me from having to buy anything and finally figuring how to connect everything. Now I can watch my old home vcr movies! Thank you thank you

[@mewdreamer]

Thank you so much. I've been struggling with connecting my DVD player for awhile and I was worried if I needed to buy another one or more cords. It turns out that I just mixed up some cords for the audio this whole time. I just feel so much relief that I got it working in time to watch some of my favorite Christmas movies on DVD. Thank you again.

[@505SHY]

So happy I came across this.. All the others were not nearly as simplified as this one and quality of explaining the colors and cord's were on point.. Thank you sir

[@handmadebyderya]

All I needed was the color and we got it! We were using the red blue and green cables and we had this one in storage. Thank you for your help!!!

[@ajbee4790]
