What cable do I need for a Blu-ray or DVD player?
A standard High Speed HDMI cable, including for 4K Blu-ray. Older DVD players without HDMI use a SCART cable, which needs a TV with a SCART socket.

Worth knowing
- If the player is going through a soundbar or amp, connect it to the soundbar's HDMI in, then the soundbar to the TV's ARC socket.
