Connecting Sony CD/DVD player and cable box

Bob331 New member Username: Bob331 Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-11	Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 12:35 GMT I have a HD TV hooked up to a Time Warner cable box . I was just given a (used) Sony CD/DVD Player. The Sony manual does not contain any instructions as to how to connect the player when you have a cable box. Help, please ? thank you. Bob
