    Well, I would suggest using HDMI cable, it easier and better image. But.. anyway

    The back of the DVR should have the LR & RGB (left and right audio, and the Red, Blue, Green cable hookups, like this:




    The back of your TV should look similar to this:


    Note the upper left... you are looking for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT.
    Make sure you match the correct red cable... one is for Audio (which should be connected with the white one) the other should be with the other 2 video cables.

    Or take the easy way...
    HDMI hookup

    Go to My Cable Mart - here I even picked one out. 6.6 certified HDMI 1.3

    $6.99! And they are good quality - I have bought many there...

    There is no HDMI input on your cable box (in all likelihood). If your DVD Player has HDMI out, then the best connection would be to run out from the DVD player in to the TV.

    Not all DVD Players have HDMI connections though. So the next best is most likely component video (red, green, blue RCA for video, and white and red RCA for audio).
