To connect a DVD player to TV, first unplug both devices. Set the DVD player such that its cable can reach the TV. Use all the important cables (like HDMI) to connect the DVD player to the TV. Plug in the DVD player followed by the TV and turn both of them on. Change the TV settings to View DVD and check if the clock on the DVD player is properly set. Take a DVD, insert it into the player, and use the remote to start it.
