Are portable dvd players compatable with tv's?

Question

can you use a portable dvd player much like a normal dvd player and play the dvd through a larger television?

Answer 1

Most of them do, best thing to do would be ask the store staff when you go to buy one :)

Answer 2

all the ones ive seen will do it. they come with composite cables red, white and yellow.

Answer 3

Yes, for all the ones I've seen.

And I've seen many.  Name brands and off-brands too.

Answer 4

Gosh, I'm not sure. It sounds as though it would be possible. But if you haven't bought the portable DVD player yet, I wouldn't want to risk it.

To be honest, you can pick up DVD players in Tesco's for £15 now. So if you want to watch DVDs on a large screen it would be better to do this than spend £70 or so on a portable DVD player. The portable tend to be more expensive because they are more "trendy" and manufacturers know there are people out there who will buy them whatever the cost!
