Question:

black RCA connector on back of DVD player marked coaxial?

I want to connect my dvd player to this TV. The problem is that the TV only has the kind of screw in cable connection that comes from the wall. Now I have knowledge that the screw in cables are called coaxial cables.Does the black RCA port on the back of my dvd player marked coaxial have anything to do w/ the standard screw in RF coaxial? can i splice two ends together?

Answer:

Bumfighter is absolutely correct. It looks about right, but it's for sound only (and digital sound at that) so you'll get nowhere hooking it up. Try a converter as advised and you should be fine. Good luck
No. The black (sometime orange) RCA connector on your DVD player is for digital sound output. You use it to connect a digital source to a receiver with digital coax inputs. What you need is an RF Modulator of some sort. The basic ones will take in one composite input (RCA, yellow, red, and white/black) and output via RF coaxial cable (RG-6). Others will act as a switch with multiple inputs, sometimes multiple outputs. You're looking at a cost of $25-50 retail for such devices.
