I have a 52 inch Toshiba HDTV that is already connected to a DISH network satellite. I would like to connect a DVD player and have no idea how to connect. I may also need help with figuring out which remote I use. Currently I have to use the TV remote that just turns on the TV and the DISH remote for volume and changing of channels:)

You just need to connect the DVD player to one of the available inputs on the back of the television. If available on your DVD player use a "component" connection, which requires connecting three cords for the picture (a red, a green, and a blue plug), and two cords for the sound (a red and a white plug). To watch a DVD use your TV's remote control to select the input to which you have connected the DVD player. Use your DVD remote to control DVD playback. Good luck.

Thank you 'Tall Guy'. Wish me luck. It is connected it just won't do anything. I must not be pushing the right button.
