No HDMI Port:

In case you are unable to locate an HDMI port on your TV then you might want to switch to an alternate method of connection that is using the component cables. They are built to replace HDMI cables in case your TV set lacks a port for it. However, before jumping to conclusions, do check the user’s guide that came with your TV set to see if it has a port, if yes then where.

In case your TV doesn’t have that port then you will have to use the component cable that came in your cable box package.
