This wikiHow teaches you how to turn your regular TV into an Internet-connected media center. To do this, you’ll need a smart media player – such as an Apple TV or Amazon Fire Stick – and an HDMI port on the back of the TV. If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port, you can purchase an HDMI-to-RCA adapter that plugs into the red, yellow, and white ports on the back of the TV.

Find the TV’s HDMI port. The HDMI port looks like a thin, flat slot with a slightly tapered bottom, usually located behind or on the side of a TV screen.
- Be sure to note down the number next to the HDMI port, as this is the channel you need to use your Apple TV.
- If your TV doesn’t have any HDMI ports, you can purchase an HDMI-to-RCA adapter that plugs into the red, yellow, and white ports on the side or back of the TV.

Buy an HDMI cable. HDMI cables of various lengths are available online or at electronics stores.
- HDMI cables sold online are often cheaper than in stores.
- With a budget of less than 345,000 VND, you can buy a good HDMI cable.

Place the Apple TV box near the TV. The Apple TV box must be located close to the TV so that the HDMI cable and power cord can connect to the device.
- It’s important that the Apple TV be placed in an open space, so it doesn’t overheat and you can use the remote.

Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the Apple TV box. This end will fit into the HDMI port on the back of the Apple TV box with the wider edge of the cable facing up.
- The HDMI connector only plugs in one way, so don’t use force if the plug doesn’t fit.
