Connecting Wii and DVD Player to TV – Separate Inputs, Switch Box If Needed

The Wii has no video input—it cannot accept a DVD player's signal. Connect both separately to your TV:

Standard Setup (TV with Multiple Inputs)

1. Wii → TV: Use Wii AV cable (red/white/yellow) or Wii Component cable (red/green/blue + red/white) → TV AV/Component input.
2. DVD Player → TV: HDMI (best), Component, or Composite → different TV input.
3. Switch Inputs: Use TV remote "Source/Input" button to toggle between Wii and DVD.

If TV Has Only One Input

• AV Switch Box (Manual/Remote): £10–20; connects multiple sources to one TV input.
• DVD Player with HDMI + Wii2HDMI Adapter: Wii → Wii2HDMI → HDMI Switch → TV. ~£25 total.

Important Notes

• Wii cannot play movie DVDs. It reads Wii/GC discs only. (Homebrew + DVDx enables DVD playback, but laser wears faster.)
• Wii U: Has no DVD/Blu-ray playback either.
• Audio: For surround, connect both to AV receiver → TV, or use TV's optical out to soundbar.

Simple: Two devices, two TV inputs, one remote button.
