DVD to 2 devices at same time. My son is disabled. I bought him a projector to show his DVD movies onto the ceiling where he can see them better. Is there a way to have DVD go to projector and TV at same.time. i bought a splitter (male.to 2 female HDMI) but that didn't work. Any suggestions
Thanks

Hi there

This largely depends on the DVD player you have. Order models would transmit to all the outputs. Newer models with hdmi outputs most of them do not.

Older models had RCA and svideo connection I think transmit to both. What is your best bet is using a computer. To play dvd movies using a pc download
VLC media player which is free.

The link above is using a laptop but the connections are the same if you have a newer pc with hdmi outputs key to this working is both TV and projects having hdmi.

DVD only has 1 HDMI port. That's why I bought the splitter hoping that would work. My computer is old so that's not an option. If I bought a DVD with 2 HDMI ports. Would that solve it? If there is such a thing. Lol. Thx
