Connecting a DVD player

What are the connections for a DVD player to the cable box? My video out is used to the TV, what's left is the Y Pb Pr plugs. Can the DVD player be connected to the cable box or do I have to go directly to the TV?

You need to go directly to the TV. All the inputs on the back of the STB are disabled.

How to connect JVC DVd player and video cassette recorder to QIP 7100 and Panasonic TC-32lx44

What cables do I need to connect my DVD/VCR recorder through my QIP 7100 to see on my TV? I would appreciate any assistance with this since I am a novice.
Thanks

You cannot run ANY signal through a Set top box to a Television. The only input on the boxes that is actually functional is the coaxial cable. The only way your are going to connect your DVD player to the TV is via one of the AV inputs on the Television itself.
Hopefully your Television has at least 2 sets of AV inputs, because you are going to need them. 1 for the VCR and 1 for the DVD player.
Depending upon the TV, VCR and DVD player, the connections possible are:
1). HDMI cable from TV to DVD if the DVD player has HDMI and the TV has a 2nd HDMI input. It is very unlikely your VCR supports HDMI.
2). Component Video (RGB) plus Audio AV cables from audio and component outputs on the DVD player to a set of component and coresponding audio inputs on the Television. It is unlikely that your VCR supports component video.
3). S-VHS cable from DVD player or VCR to S-VHS input on the TV (if there is one), and audio AV cables from the audio outputs on the DVD/VCR player to the corresponding audio input on the TV for the S-VHS cable. If S-VHS is not available, you can use composite video instead. HDMI and Component video will give you the best picture and composite video will give you the lowest quality picture, but depending upon the equipment, your VCR may not have an S-VHS output available.

How do I connect a DVD Player or game console to the X-Fi Platin

Perhaps the answer is simpler than I think, that's why I didn't find the answer anywhere. Sorry if it's a stupid question. So, how do I connect my DVD Player, PlayStation 2 and Gamecube to the X-Fi Platinum. I use optical cables for the first two and analog stereo cables (Red and White) for the Gamecube. I plug them in, but I can't get any sound out. What do I do? Thanks in advance.

months later and I still can not get the sound from the tv to sync with the sound from the pc over the digital link.
edit to say I just saw this post
"The Audigy features BUILT IN decoding, you are almost talking like it is being done through software, this is a built in hardware function of the audigy"
It is being done in software on the host CPU. No Creative soundcard has hardware based decoding. If you don't believe me try it yourself. Check the CPU utilisation in SPDIF mode and DVD playback software decoding mode. There won't be any difference in CPU utilisation between the two modes. In fact on my machine with the X-Fi doing the decoding the CPU utilisation is higher than the nVidia audio decoder.
no there's something else I didn't check before buying. there goes blind faith in a company you have used for over 8 years.
The way that the x-fi is being marketed is very aggresi've. I will know not to trust anything this company say on their box, especially until I have read second and third opinions online. Vreati've, you have just lost this customer. Next year I will buy a card that just does what I need and not one that looks like something I should have and at a ridiculous price for a sound card that doesn't actually do hardware decoing that a ?50 piece of plastic can do.

I realize this question is ubiquitous in this forum....I guess I'm specifically interested in knowing WHY won't the Extreme software recognize the Express unit?

Connect a DVD player through SPDIF? (Audigy 2

Hi
I have a SB Audigy 2 ZS and a Cambridge Soundworks 550 set. I often watch DVD movies using the PC DVD-dri've, but since it's impossible to get widescreen TV output from nVidia cards, I've been thinking about getting an external DVD player. The ones I've been looking at only have digital output for sound, so I'm wondering if there's any way to connect it to the sound card and get 5. sound (speakers doesn't have digital inputs)?

I've a Audigy2zs and i use the internal connection on the card with the name "CD-Digital" it's a sp/dif input on the card.
Perhaps you can make (just like i did) some nice cables to a 5inch baycover front(that's on the computercase)
connect a rca panelconnector to a sp/dif computercable(disconnect on one side the 2 pole sp/dif compu connector and solder the rca connector to it.(beware of + & - are right,the center of rca=+ the outside=-). Mount the rca panelconnector to the 5inch baypanel of your computercase. Insert the original side of the sp/dif computer cable in the CD-Digital in of the internal connector on the card. And you're done. Then you've a sp/dif input on your pc.
Connect the sp/dif audio out of the dvd-player(hifi external) with a rca coax wire to the yourself build sp/dif in rca panelconnector on the plastic 5inch baycover that you've made.
Then in the surroundmixer use the CD-Digital slider.
You can check/control the sp/dif signal in AudioHQ>Device Controls>Bit accurate mode Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on 02-03-2005 08:42 PM
technically sp/dif = highquality stereo but let the hifi dvd-player send dolby signals to the sp/dif and just see what the Audigy2zs encodes/found on it's CD-Digital...(i've a Philips DCC730 with sp/dif connected this way works perfect 8bit/48KHz but stereo (it's the digitalcassettedeck that sends stereo, instead of more(dolby)channels)Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on 02-03-2005 08:46 PM

Connect sony dvd player to internet

I want to connect my sony blue ray dvd player to the internet but my router is in another room far away. I tried to connect the device directly to my verizon set top box and was unsuccessful. Do I have to buy another router and a splitter for each room that has a dvd player that I want to connect to the internet? Does anyone have a solution?

unfortunately the ethernet port is not operational, so unless the player is wireless, then you will have to hardwire it.
Two solutions.
1. the router can be moved to any room that has a working fios cable box. You will need a 5-1000mhz two way splitter, and then you take the cable out of the wall, put that splitter at the end of it, then one cable goes to the cable box, and the other to the router, and then it is now close enough for you to hardwire your player.
2. you can buy an inexpensive used actiontec off of ebay, and then use this configuration and it helps to extend your FiOS network to rooms that are too far for ethernet cables to reach.
Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax?

Inspire 5200 - connecting to DVD player?

Is there any way to connect this speaker system to a DVD player? Since the subwoofer doesn't have rca input jacks.

sanafabich,
If you DVD player have 5.1 channel RCA input jack, you could always get yourself some 3.5mm stereo minijack to dual RCA cable for the connection.

M4500 anable to connect with DVD player

Hi,
Kindly help me I am not able to connect my Creative M4500 speakers with DVD player.
Regards

Not sure what your asking as it should be very simple, you are talking about the X-fi front bay unit right? You have a DVD player with R&w outs, you simply connect to those and then the same R&W connectors on the bay unit. I believe its treated as Linein2 in the mixer. Should be very simple to figure out

30" inch Cinema Display Connected to DVD Player

I've read a bunch of stuff about using a cinema display for other uses but can't find a conclusive comment. I have a new 30" display. I'd like to hook it up to a DVD player via DVI to HDMI (using a female DVI to male HDMI conversion cable). No computer involved. Is this possible? Can the display be used with a straight DVD player at all? If so what kind?

Absolutely it cannot be done. Gefen might sell some kind of box that would allow this type of interface, but a simple cable adapter, no.

How to connect DVD player to FIOS TV (with standard TV)

The Verizon techs installed my FIOS system. I already have the router, DVR and standard TV connected and working. How do I add a DVD player to the mix?
I found wiring diagrams for my FIOS DVR, but they do not include my configuration. Here is what I found:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Receivers/Wiring+Diagrams/Motorola+7232+HD+DVR/12763...
The above diagram includes an A/V receiver, which I don't think my configuration includes. The tutorial does not offer a choice of configuration that is just the DVR, standard TV, and DVD player.
Where do I find a wiring diagram that connects my DVR, standard TV and DVD player? Do I have to do anything to the router when I connect the DVD player? Sometimes I see references to set top boxes--are they the same thing as the DVR?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about you trouble.
If you are using a standard TV you need to check the back ports for RCA connections. They are listed as video/audio inputs, with color coding.
From your DVD player use RCA output jacks, yellow for video, red and white for audio
Take other end of RCA cables and connect to TV inputs at the back
Set your TV to what ever input was used for DVD player and this should allow you to see DVD from TV.
I sent you a PM if further assistance was needed.

Connecting DVD player, speakers and stereo receiver to mac pro

I'd like to 'integrate' my living room system with my Mac Pro.
This entails connecting my living room speakers and digital DVD player to my Mac. My stereo receiver is outdated so I plan to buy a new one. The reason I want to connect the DVD player is so I can use the remote control with it. Unless there's a remote I can buy for the Mac Pro ?

There are several remotes for the Mac Pro that will control its DVD player, such as

CANT connect DVD player to '5.1 inspire' via DIGITAL CABLE!! arrrg!

I have a "CyberHome CH-DVD 300S" DVD player and a "Inspire 5.1 5200" Creative speakersI want to connect the DVD player directly to the speakers system and maintain my 5.1 sound. Both the dvd player and creative speakers are capable.
Heres my problem
The 'digital coaxial' jack that comes from the DVD player is 'Composite RCA' style and the digital input jack on the creative speakers is '1/8th inch' or headphone jack style. NO PROBLEM nothing radio shack cant fix. ... I plug it all up and turn my dvd player to output digital signal and nothing happens.
Are both of these runing different protocols?
Surely someone has attempted this.
Thanks in advanced.

My setup writes DVD's in almost ANY format. Still SUX! But... yes, what she said. You'll always need to decode and, if I'm thinking correctly :smileyindifferent: you must specifically have digital speakers to "go" digital on yer settings, et.al. At the very least you'll need an RF Modulator just to hook up to cable box (or sattelite, etc.). Keep your Brave Face on for this one-it may take some extra dollars to achieve your goals. Good Luck, and... we're watching. G!

Connecting an external dvd player

is there any way of connecting an external (tv use) dvd player to an iBook G4?
I understand the latter doesn't have video input...but are there adapter cables one could buy or something?
any helpful clues would be much appreciated.
thanks

Hmmmm
You could pick up an EyeTV, which would let you connect the DVD player to the iBook.
Why do you want to do this?
