You can use one of 3 types of cables:

1) Composite video - yellow/white/black. This is the basic cable that almost all DVD players ship with. Basic standard definition video and analog audio

2) Component video + Analog audio - red/green/blue + white/black - This is for progressive scanning DVD players and TV's 10 years old or newer. Better video but analog audio

3) HDMI - one cable. This is for upconverting DVD players. 480p to 1080p video (not high definition) plus digital audio.

You may have a DVD player and TV that have a S-Video player (multi-pin single cable), but that connection standard has almost completely disappeared.
