Everyone is on the go these days, with Ipods, Cell phones, PSPs, and so many more handheld devices, but if you still want to play your big video game system on the run, you can easily hook it up to a portable DVD player. Not every portable DVD player may be compatible, but more of them are and will allow you to play your favorite video game systems anywhere.
Instructions
1. Make sure that your DVD player is compatible. The first things you need to look for are input/output ports. Most of the portable DVD players will have headphone jacks and power outlets, but you need to find audio/video ports, usually, black, red, or yellow.
2. Make sure that the DVD player accepts incoming connections. There will be a small switch on the side of the player that indicts whether you are using the ports as an input or output.
3. Purchase two RCA to Mini-plug adapters. These are essential in hooking up the system, and without them it will be nearly impossible to connect it. You can find these at a local electronics store like Radioshak.
4. Attach the adapters to the ends of your video game system RCA cables. There will usually only be one audio input, so use the white audio cable and just leave the red hanging.
5. Plug the audio jack into the proper slot on the portable DVD player. Plug the video jack into the proper slot on the portable DVD player. Set the switch to “Input” on the portable DVD player.
6. Look for the gaming system start up on the DVD player screen. If you do not see the video game system load, the cords are either loose, in the wrong spot, or the adapters were not put on correctly.
7. Purchase a power converter for your car and plug the video game system right into the power source that is connected to your car to make the gaming system truly portable.
