i cant hook up my sony blu ray player to my samsung tv and i dont know why?

Question

the cord that came with the blue ray is a red white yellow cord, but the things on the back of the tv are red blue and green. is there any way i can make this work without the picture comming out black and white like it does with my dvd player? or even get a picture at all?? thank you soo much, i really dont want to have to return my dads gift, he really wanted this..

Answer 1

Your tv should have an HDMI input and your blu ray should have an HDMI output. That connection would be best. You can buy an HDMI cable for $10 or less.



If your tv has only component red/green/blue video, and no HDMI, then buy a component cable with the red/green/blue video + red/white audio. And use that. They cost no more than $10 also.



The red/white audio with yellow video that came with your blu ray is standard definition only, so it's useless for an HD tv (assuming your samsung is HD).

Answer 2

Red and White are usually left and right stereo audio.

Yellow is composite video



RGB is the coding for the 3 coloured guns that make up a TV picture.



You cannot therefore take the red and white signals to the TV - it is requiring RGB input - composite video is a different signal.



If the TV has a EUROSCART plug on it - you can get a red/white/yellow phono to scart cable - this is the usual way to connect modern TVs from a phone output.

Or an adaptor:

Answer 3

The Samsung would do everything the Sony would do in your case the Samsung would connect better being capable of using BD-Wise to optimize the best picture possible as well as using one remote to control everything. If you think about it why did you buy a Samsung tv instead of a Sony maybe because it had a better picture?

Answer 4

your blu ray OUT jacks.....composite.

your tv IN jacks.................component.

so you should buy a COMPOSITE to COMPONENT converter. (5 wires).



what is tv model.......is there another inputs?
