how to link up a portable DVD player to a tv?

Hi,

I have a portable DVD player and wanted to know how I can link it up to show on a TV rather than the portable/built in screen.

This is a photo of the ports I have on the side.

Any ideas what lead(s) I need?

Thanks

What you need is 3.5mm jack to phono/RCA, either as an adaptor or a lead. Audio will be stereo, video just 'mono'. Can buy from Maplins, or CPC as below -

Examples -

ADAPTORS - use with normal phono/RCA leads - audio (http://cpc.farnell.com/_/759-495/phono-to-3-5mm-adaptor/dp/AV11816) / video (http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg01657/adaptor-3-5mm-p-to-phono-s-mono/dp/AV15205)

LEADS - audio (http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/nlwt-202/white-3-5mm-to-2x-rca-cable/dp/CS13474) and video you need 'mono (didn't spot this lead on the site, or you could use the same as audio - I think it will work).

Hope that helps.

Although tbh I've seen this done with a cheapie player and the picture was pretty poor for some reason. Emergencies only I'd say, especially given the price of a new home player.
