Can I hook HDTV cable to a regular tv?

I'm getting a mac mini. I have a 42" Samsung Plasma eyeshade. I know I am going to hook it there. I bought HDMI-DMI cable at the mac store. I know I will be bringing my mac with me but can I hook it up to non-HDTV's also?

Answers: no, you can singular hook HDMI cables to tv's that own HDMI inputs - only HD tv's hold that input.
