Connecting old dvd play to sky glass

[Geordie+Gal]

I'm trying to connect my Philips DVD player to Sky Glass using an AV2HDMI up scaler 1080P. Power is to come from TV. Will it be 720P or 1080P? Also, where do I connect the lead? Looks like normal USB lead.

Glass has no useable USB socket. There is a USB-C socket but this is reserved for use by the ever elusive 'Smart Camera' which has been promised for a very long time but has never materialised. 

I would suggest you may need to buy a new DVD Player, or better still, a more modern Blu-Ray player with HDMI output.

The HDMI lead would go to Glass HDMI #3 which has a compatibility mode for older optical hardware (activated in Settings).

Hi, thanks for information.

I tried this, but only got black and white, no sound. tried with scart too - no. May go with previous responders recommendations and buy a new unit.

Tried lots of suggestions, nothing really works properly. hdmi3 only gave me black and white and no sound, even tried scart to sky+ HD box and plugged that into hdmi1. I have given up. I think the best solution will be to get a new DVD player - but will definitely research first. I had also bought usb cables in order to attach pc to tv - no usb on tv, only the mini usb for the camera.

Thanks for you assistance.
