Is there any additional equipment I need to buy to use this to play DVD, cd, or make an hdmi connection to my new Vizio TV - right out of the box?

You need the hdmi and a fiber optic cable. The hdmi only provides the best video resolution; you need the fiber optic cable for the best sound.

I hooked mine up using hdmi from Blu-ray dvd player to hdmi input on tv. If you have a standard dvd player without hdmi output use the composite out of the dvd player to composite in on tv.

HDMI should handle it all - that's the idea. I have HDMI from my BluRay to my Onkyo, and an HDMI from the Onkyo to the HDTV. You could use optical, but should not have to. I use optical to connect the audio from my older DVD player to the Onkyo.

yes you can...but if it is anything like mine you will have to find software for it to actually play bluray discs

Unless your TV has av slots on it, you can't hook it up. Everything today uses HDMI cables. Most TV's have at leastone AV slot, if it does you can use piggyback cables to the DVD If you are using av cables from the control box to the TV, you may have to use piggyback cables to connect to the DVD if you don't have more than one av connection. It will work.

I use an HDMI cord. You might want to look into a convertor box. It took me buying and sending back 7 different DVD player's before I went back to this one. Just a warning This is the 2nd time I bought this DVD player as all the other's didn't have what I wanted or needed.

there are rca inputs on the back for bd/dvd, sat, vcr, I think tape and one other maybe aux. Google the model number for manual there should be a picture of the back to show connections

I'm not sure what you need. I just took the cables supplied and connected it up to my old Toshiba tv via a Radio Shack switch box. The box connects a vcr, a laser disc player and my dvd player.

no, I don't recall they did. You will need (1) HDMI to connect you satellite or cable box. And another for a DVD player. I also used a optical cable for the connection to my Sound Bar.

if its a new TV, then you can hook in with HDMI or USB. if its an older model, you will need a converting system like a dvd player with those inputs or a blueray player. some models come with a A/V jack, so your can go from microphone jack to RCA connectors.

You'll need to purchase your own HDMI cable. The DVD player only came with component cables.

No it will not work. It only has 1 HDMI output. You may be able to buy an adapter cable that converts an HDMI CABLE to standard component cables, but not sure if that even exists, nor would the quality of Bluray show through standard cables. Your best bet would be to buy a standard DVD player with or without WI-FI depending on what you want to do. Also just throwing it out there, there DVD players that wireless connectivity, and/or ones with an Ethernet plug.Good luck!

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

I grabbed my manual (that in itself is a plus) and it has many ports for just about any device you can think of including multiple ways you can hook up a DVD player. So go for it. My TV is still happy sitting on my kitchen counter.

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

It does not have a CD/DVD player. You have two USB ports and one HDMI port.

No one seemed to mention you can buy a $20 signal amplifier and an extra coaxial cable at Radio Shack and you should get a little better quality TV. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2463965&cp;=2032057.2032187.2032189.2032207&parentPage;=familyThese where all over my house back in analog days.HDMI is the way to go for the DVD issue. Upconverting DVD players sell for as low as $40 on slickdeals and HDMI cables are a couple of bucks on monoprice
