Depending on the DVD player. Any DVD player will have one or more of those options. IT could also have an HDMI out. For best quality, connect it to the highest signal your television can take in.
The best is HDMI, followed by component, followed by s-video, with composite being last.
That being said, there are two different types of component. One had "b" as the second letter of the color it transmits, and one has the letter "c". Your TV and DVD player would have to match to run component. "c" is generally an older format.

∙ 13y agoComposite, S-video and component are three different analog interfaces for standard definition television signals. Component is the best quality of the three, followed by S-video. Composite is the lowest performance of the three signals.
Any of them will connect a DVD player to a television as long as both have the same connectors. Try to use component if possible but be assured that S-video and even composite still give good results.
If there is an HDMI connector on both the player and the television, this will provide a component signal in a digital format so this would be the connection of choice if it is available. HDMI supports HD signals as well as SD but note that a DVD player delivers SD content. Using an HDMI connection does not provide HD quality even if it the player has an up-converter to generate an HD signal on the HDMI port.

How do I connect a Bose 3-2-1 to HD TV and Cable?
The Bose 321 system does not support Hi-Def inputs, so the best idea is to use it just for sound. Connect the digital audio output of the Cable box to the optical input of the 321. Connect an HDMI cable from the Cable box to the TV directly.
Can you connect a high definition television to a digital cable box with a high definition multimedia interface cable and a digital video recorder video cassette recorder with a component cable setup?
Yes and No.If I understand the question correctly, you want to connect your cable box to your HDTV via HDMI, your DVR via component cable (Red, Green and Blue RCA connectors), and your VCR via component cables. Your HDTV should accept various video inputs - HDMI, component, and composite (the yellow RCA connector). Most argue that the HDMI connection will provide the best quality video. Next in quality is component video. Last is composite video. Your cable box may or may not have an HDMI connection. If it does and you subcribe to HD channels from your cable provider, then definitely use HDMI to connect to the cable box. If you have another HDMI input available on your TV, then connect it to the DVR (if the DVR has the HDMI output). Your VCR will likely have to be connected via composite cable. It's a crappy signal but VCR don't provide a great signal to begin with. Most VCRs only offer a composite (at best) output, anyway.
How do you get the Sanyo pro xtrax projector to work with your TV?
You cannot connect a projector to a TV directly. The connections on the TV for video are inputs, not outputs. You need to connect a source such as a DVD player or cable or satellite receiver to the projector.
Do you connect s video cable to the tv and to a Bose system?
s-Video is pretty much a dead standard. You should use it only if your tv does not have component video or HDMI.
What HDMI port do you connect s video wire to?
HDMI and S-video are completely incompatible connectors. HDMI carries digital data in component or RGB formats while S-video is a 2 wire analog signal. The two cannot be connected without using digital - analog or analog - digital converters. To use an S-video source with a new television, look for analog connectors on the rear of the television or in the manual. Most televisions have an analog input although it may be composite rather than S-video. Almost all sources that have an S-video output will also have a composite output. A little research into the available connectors on the source and the television should produce a workable result.
Are Composite video and 3 jack component video and S video types of connections one can use to connect a DVD player to a television?
Yes, assuming your DVD player and TV have the hookups, you could use any one of those.
Can you connect your composite satellite receiver to your component tv?
Yes, you can but you won't get the true colors displayed on the TV. The component cable uses 3 leads (green, blue, and red) for the video where composite only uses 1 (yellow). The audio is white and red for both types of cable.
If you take a video source outputting component video and use component cables but connect it to a display source that uses composite connections what's the highest display resolution you can get?
Component video is carried on three wires, normally referred to as YUV or Y, Pb, Pr. The Y component carries the luminance information - the brightness. The other two carry color information. Connecting a component signal to a composite input will be difficult as composite uses a single connector that carries brightness and color signals on the same wire. If you connect the Y of the component signal to the composite input, you will see a monochrome image. With a very, very few exceptions, analog component video is limited to standard resolution, so the highest will be 480 line (North American) or 576 line (European). Composite connections handle only standard definition and there is no composite standard for HD video.
How do you hook up a Wii to a HDTV?
Using the composite cables (yellow, white, red) that are provided with the Wii. You also have the ability to purchase a component cable (red, green blue & red white) and connect them to the TV accordingly. Some newer HDTV's may not have a composite input so you may need the component cable. Some may also have the green component input double as the yellow composite input. I have seen this primarily on Samsung TV's.

Are 3 jack component video and S video types of connections one can use to connect a DVD player to a television?
Component video and S-video are 2 types of connectors, although S-Video and Component connections are from TV's and DVD players quickly, in favor of HDMI connections. All new models of DVD players made after December 31, 2010 will only output Standard Definition video from the component outputs. 720p, 720i and 1080i will not be offered as output options on new models of DVD players. Note that neither of these connection types send the audio from the DVD player to the TV. You will need analog or digital audio connectors for that.
