Battery Operated Televisions

does a portable DVD player hook up to a TV?

This may be a dumb question, but I don't know the answer. We want to get a portable DVD player to use in the car and the camper, but the screens are small. Can you plug the cables into a TV with the same plugs, to see the picture on a bigger screen? Or will you just be able to see the pic on the DVD player screen?

1. Most have an A/V connection, usually with a proprietary cable; which allows you to connect the player to A/V in on a TV, or use the display on the player as a monitor for a game console or the like.
2. Of course! Most portable dvd players have included cables that enable for you to hook it up directly to tv, receiver, vcr, etc. These cables usually look like a connection similar to headphones plugging to the portable unit, and the other end either has composite connection (red, white, yellow), and higher quality connection (svideo). Do your research before buying a portable dvd player. You can pickup these cables in Walmart or online if the unit does not come with this cable (in most cases they do) God luck
