My question has to do with connecting a newer DVD w/ an older TV

My daughter is home f/ college is having a bunch of kids over tonight
before they take off on Spring Break. She wants to watch the DVD
upstairs on a TV I haven't used in a long time.

Between a divorce and my daughter taking off for college, a lot of
equipment in my home has been moved and changed around and I just
don't remember how some to get some of it to work.

Here's what I have

A newer Memorex DVD
An older Phillips Magnovox TV w/ single cable input (generic remote)
Converter unit for DVD ouput (Red-yellow-white to Cable)

I believe I have the connections correct but I DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
REMOTE FOR THE TV. I have a remove which lets me turn it on, change
channels etc. but it does not have a VIDEO input option.

My Q: What should the input be set on on the TV to take the converted
output (RYW - Cable ) f/ the DVD to the TV? Nothing seems to work and
the remote does not have a 'video' selector...

Thanks
Chip L
