How do I connect a dvd player to a Sylvania TV?

I tried using an R/F modulator, but this only worked when I also had a cable box connected to the TV. This TV is seven years old and I am beginning to think it is impossible to hook a dvd player to it because I no longer have the remote. Please do not just tell me to go out and buy a universal remote because I already tried that. I am looking for a simple/basic answer. Am I just better off buying a new TV.

Answer:
Buying a new TV would be easier if it has all the necessary inputs. However, your RF modulator should be able to do the job. Make sure your hook up is correct. DVD yellow, white, and red should be in the proper jacks. Cable box should be hooked to antenna/cable in. RF out should go to TV antenna jack. RF out on modulator (channel 3/4) should be set to whichever channel is not broadcast locally. If you don't have a channel 3 or 4 local broadcast, just set it to the same channel your cable box puts out on. When you're ready to go, just turn on the DVD and modulator. Set the TV to the same channel you set the modulator to output on, and go. If the modulator has an input selector, make sure it is set to aux or DVD. That should do it.
