Best Answer

Composite Video connections are unable to transmit a HD signal. They are on HDTV's for the purpose of connecting older sources, think VCR, that do not have the newer connections like HDMI or component cables.

How do you correct HDMI connection appear colored from DVD magnavox zv457mg9?

A HDTV does not always have a HDMI connection sometimes they have a component connection which is 5 RCA type plugs that are color coded 3 of them for video and 2 for audio. The HDMI connection looks rectangle and is a single plug although a HDTV can have more than one so you can connect multiple items. You need to purchase the correct cable to allow connection based on what the DVD and HDTV have for inputs and outputs. The DVD/VCR you are asking about has HDMI, component, Composite, and S-video outputs to go to the input on a HDTV or to a Regular TV with the Composite cable. Additionally it has inputs to allow recording of shows from your HDTV or regular TV only through S-Video or Composite connection to the DVD/VCR. This machine will upscale to 1080P but does not record in HD. It will also record your TV shows with it's tuner.
