> Thanks Stephen, that helps a lot. I'm going to print that out so I can study it a little. There is a pretty good audio system sitting next to our TV, so I might try running the sound through that.

I definitely would. You have tons of options for sound outputs on DVD players, and I guarantee there's a way to hook it up to your stereo receiver.

> If our TV has those colored outlets, they must be on the back. The set is at least 10 years old. Our grandson comes over and hooks his DVD player up to our TV in about a minute, so I may have to consult him. Unfortunately, when he goes home he takes his DVD player and his XBOX with him.

Yeah, chances are you have composite inputs. Using RF (co-axial cable) for video game systems and DVD players is not standard anymore, so the grandson is probably using composite inputs. You should be fine hooking a DVD player up to the television.
