I believe it's HDMI #3 that's recommended for optical players, and there's an option somewhere in the settings to increase compatibility.

 

Compatibility Mode: When plugged into HDMI 3, press the Home button on your Sky Glass remote, go to Settings > Inputs and toggle on the older device compatibility setting. 

 

An actual DVD player is going to be rather old, though: a Blu-ray player may be more successful.

 

DVD players built-in to 'Home Cinema' systems with an attached speaker set are truly obsolete.
