Back then, DVD players were a crucial part of our entertainment. Almost every home and media center had these players. Even though they are old technologies, most brands are improving the technology by adding more features.
Other brands have even stopped manufacturing these players. This is because CDs are becoming a thing of the past; those still manufacturing them add a USB port and an SD card slot to enable users player media from other sources. What if you want to connect the DVD player to your projector with an HDMI cable and enjoy an old movie with a group of friends?
To connect your DVD player to a projector with an HDMI cable, connect one end of the cable to the HDMI port of the player and the other end to the port of the projector. If your projector does not have an HDMI port, use an adapter to aid in the link. An audio cable is not needed with HDMI connections unless you want to use an external speaker. You can use an AUX cable to connect your external speaker to the projector.
Computers are usually the devices we connect to projectors. However, connecting a DVD player to a projector is still possible. In this article, you will learn how to connect your DVD player to a projector with an HDMI cable.
Modern DVD Players that have an HDMI port are usually Blu-Ray ones. Ideally, connection via HDMI is better than connection with RCA cables. You’ll need an HDMI converter if your projector does not have an HDMI port. Follow these steps to connect your DVD players to a projector using an HDMI cable:
Wirelessly connecting a DVD player to a projector is possible, but you will need a wireless HD video transmitter and receiver. Most ports of the transmitters and receivers are HDMI, so you will need an HDMI cable for this. You can use a converter if your device does not have an HDMI port.
Make sure you set your projector’s input source to HDMI.

If you are linking a device to your projector and it is not working, there are several reasons why that is happening.
You may not have correctly set up the projector’s input source. Check the input of the projector and set it to HDMI. If you are using a converter, set the input source to the port type of the projector you are using.
Another reason could be that the HDMI cable linking the devices has not been fixed properly. Ensure both ends of the cable have been plugged into the ports correctly and tightly.
The HDMI cable may be broken. Try out other cables to troubleshoot this. If possible, use another HDMI port (most devices have more than one HDMI port).
If you find an old CD and want to play it, you can connect the DVD player to a projector in various ways. In older players, you will mostly find RCA ports; luckily, most projectors come with RCA ports, so the connection is direct. Note that if you are linking both devices with an RCA cable, you must also add the RCA audio cable.
It is a good thing that modern DVD players have HDMI ports. Compared to RCA connections, HDMIs are much more straightforward and easier. Moreover, you’ll get better and clearer images with HDMIs.
