I just got a new dvd player but i cant hook it up to my TV because i dont have the jack with the red, white and yellow conncetions. is there any way i could hook it up without buying a new TV? I just spent all my money on the DVD and i have no money to buy a new TV. Or maybe there is a connection out there that i can buy.

You need to check what kind of input and outputs you have on your DVD player and your TV.
Unless you have an ancient TV, it should have a S-Video input, which in quality is just below the 'component' type. It is a little round connector with a bunch of pins (I think 5 plus the plastic key).
If your TV doesn't even have that, you may have a 'composite video' connector. This is the lowest quality, but it is still better than connecting to the coaxial antenna connector (which is the only one that also accommodates the sound as well).
All the other mentioned video through-puts, need separate stereo audio cables. Usually red for right and white for left. Those cables that have three (an additional yellow connector) that is for (composite) video.
Hope that's clear? ;-)

Yes you have to get an adapter to plug into the coaxial cable input on your TV. I would check at your local Walmart or Radio Shack.
You can also buy a multiple input link that allows you to connect different sources and select different sources.

Forget all that...... go to Walmart and by a uf modulator for 9.99. Easy instructions. and it will save you a bunch of money. U don't have to by any more cables or a new TV.
