Your TV may have a shared component-composite video input. Check the manual.
If it does then I would suggest you connect the cable box to the TV with HDMI. If your box doesn't have HDMI then your cable provider should provide one to you at no cost. You will get a better picture using HDMI. Then you can connect the DVD to the shared input.
Or get a new disc player with HDMI out. It makes more sense to do this then use an AV to HDMI active converter.
