Take your AV cords, and find the plugin that says your console name, mine was Xbox 360, plug it into the back somewhere near the HDMI port.

Turn on your console.

So far you should have:

1. put the big plug in the port.
2. inserted the AV cords into your converter(s) and put the converter(s) into the DVD player.
3. Turned your DVD player to AV mode.
4. turned on your console and DVD player.

Have Fun!

Play your console.

If requested enough, I'll remake this instructable because I feel it could be considered vague.


Troubleshooting:

1. If you can't see the console display, make sure the DVD player is set to AV Mode.
2. Rearrange the AV cords, it's usually the same, but yours could be different.
