Sounds like you got a pretty old tv there, its frustrating not to see the RED/WHT/YELLOW plugs on it. This is because this tv was made when that was not out yet. So are you out of luck? No, you ar in luck but it will cost you a little money.
You can purchase one of these RF modulators at Radio shack for like $29.95.
OR
If you have a VCR, Generally they have these plugs out the back of them you would plug the DVD into the VCR in the Video IN. You're TV will need to be on channel 3 or 4 (dending on your vcr) You vcr will need to be powered ON then tuned to VIDEO INPUT. You can do this by using the remote's up/Down channels buttons or pressing input on the remote depending on the VCR.
The VCR will need to be connected to the TV's coaxe port on the back, That port looks like this:
If you do not have a VCR you would purchase a RF modulator you TV will need to be on channel 3! The modulator is connect to the port pictured above above. The DVD is then introduced to the ports on the back of the modulator witch looks like this:
If you have an old TV but want to watch DVDs, you may have difficulty hooking up your DVD player. Most DVD players have a yellow RCA video output (called composite video) and an s-video output. Many older TVs just have a coaxial input.
Step: 1Purchase an RF modulator and a connecting cable. This device will convert the output of your DVD player into a signal that can travel over the coaxial cable. They can be found at Radio Shack or on eBay.
Step: 2 Hook the composite output of your DVD player to the RF modulator, and the RF modulator coaxial output to your TV.
Step: 3 Select whether you want the image displayed on channel 3 or channel 4 on your TV.
Step: 4 Tune your TV to the chosen channel.
Tips
While it is often possible to connect a composite output from the DVD player to your VCR, and then your VCR to your TV via coaxial cable, the image will often be distorted. This happens because of copy protection (designed to keep you from recording the DVD onto a videotape using the VCR.)
However it is possible that by using an RF modulator, you can stabilize the video and record the DVD to VHS.
