How to connect dvd player to old TV??

I bought my kids a video/dvd player, but they have a portable tv in their room thats is at least 12 years old. It has no scart lead or s-video connection only the RF, how do I connect it??

I can't afford to buy a new tv and this one works perfect with a great picture, I have connected the playstation through the RF so is there a lead I can buy for this - or save up for a new TV

  • connect the dvd / video to the tv via the rf cable. then use a scart cable to connect the ps2 to the dvd / video player.

    Brilliant, thanks. Saves me going round the shops tomorrow with everyone going mad in the sales.

    Did you re-tune the TV to the output frequency of the DVD/Video?
