How to Connect a DVD Player to a Cable Ready TV
A cable ready television is a TV set that is capable of receiving cable broadcasts without a receiver. Most televisions made within the past several years are classified as a cable ready TV. However, just because a television is classified as such, doesn't mean it needs to be connected to cable. In addition, a cable ready television can be connected to a DVD player without any major installation procedures.
