The Sky Glass will have HDMI sockets you can use to connect the DVD player to the Tv using an HDMI cable (providing your dvd player supports HDMI)

Glass can struggle with older optical disk players, and some DVD hardware is now very old.  HDMI #3 has a compatibility option in Settings to try and help, but you may need to consider a modern Blu-ray player instead.

 

Note that if your player has a SCART connection or is integrated with speakers as a 'home cinema' system of twenty years ago then it's really time to pension it off.

You could try it on HDMI #3 with the compatibility mode, but Glass just doesn't like older DVD players, which to be fair are now very dated technology.  Blu-ray players are more likely to be successful.

This is clear a copy right protection on the skyglass TVs . I use a bose system, and when we. first had the TV .I connected it up to the skyglass TV on the HDMI .it worked brilliantly.  I could play any DVD .now I can only get the DVD players menu up on the screen. And play copies of DVDs .but not the genuine DVDs . now I've read that old players won't work .well it's nothing do with the old DVD player. Sky have put out up dates for these TVs .and installed software to stop us playing our old DVDs. I play a Mike Oldfield live DVD .which I used when I set it up.  It played perfectly. Now won't play at all .I get no picture . But can play a copied DVD ,no problem. We have brought our TV. Now it's no good to us .what a rip off . You can't play you old favourite DVDs anymore. It's another scam .get us buy new players .it seems
