If you don't have HDMI, then you fall back to whatever is the best connection that is common to the TV and the player. Component and Audio would be the next best, but if you don''t have HDMI you may not have that either, which leaves composite + audio - ie: 3 wires: yellow to yellow, red to red, and white to white.
Probably the same way it used to be connected... ??? So they'll probably have the cables.
