Your DVD player:

Red and White RCA: Left and Right channel(s) audio out
Yellow RCA: Video out signal

What you want to look for on the TV, is a Left and Right RCA audio in and a single RCA video input. The colors are not so much important, as are the function of the output/input connections of the components.
