Utilizing either the coaxial cables or RCA/S-video plugs. If there is 3 colored (red, yellow, white) plugs on both, you need an RCA/S-video cable to connect them. If it has a screw in type of plug then you need a coaxial cable to connect them. Good luck.

yes, I believe that any DVD player can be hooked to any TV
you just need the right hardware
A DVD player sends a video signal out, a TV displays that signal as visible video. The TV can have several input jacks for the signal to come in. Newer ones will have S-video jacks, for instance. All TVs have an antenae input.
Hardware is available to take any normal DVD player signal, and convert it to an analog antenae ready signal with a end to fit any TV antenae connection. In some cases it may take more than one converter. These converters are available on-line. Many types are sold at places like radio shack and Walmart.

I used to manage a RadioShack. You all answered this question already, so I'm going to tell you how to avoid spending $30 on an RF modulator. You can run the DVD player through a VCR if you have one. All VCR's have audio/video inputs (the red, yellow, and white jacks labeled audio and video IN). It may screw up the picture only if you try to record, so don't bother trying to record DVD's. But if you switch the VCR to that input where you have the DVD player plugged into it (take the remote and change the VCR to Video1, Aux. input, or whatever your VCR happens to call it by hitting the "input" button OR, on most VCR's, change the channel that the VCR is set to record to the channel that's below channel 2, the aux. input channel) and there you go, you didn't blow 30 bucks at one of those oh-so-friendly-and-fun electronics stores.

Yes. A man in my apartment building had a DVD player and couldn't connect it to his TV. He went to Radio Shack and he bought an adaptor. If you tv has a connection for DVD, then you are in business. If not, go to Radio Shack and they will get you up and running your DVD player through your TV.

For analog TVs, if your tv has RCA input jacks or S-video, then it is easy, just connect with RCA or S-video cable. If your TV only has 75 ohm input for antenna or cable tv (i.e. round coaxial cable) then you need an RF modulator. If you TV is really ancient and has 300 ohm flat wires for the antenna, you need a 300 ohm to 75 ohm balun and the RF modulator.
If you have a newer digital TV then you should check to see what inputs you have and what outputs the DVD has.

Yes it can. If the TV does not have video and audio in ports (being an older one) you can buy a converter at Radio Shack for about $30.00 which will take the signal and convert it for the older television.
