K.
If I buy this projector :
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033QJLQW/ref=pe_53930_19043070_pe_vfe_d6
(Connections: 1 x HDMI, 1 x VGA, 1 x Composite A/V, 1 x Component, 1 x S-Video, 1 x headphone/stereo jack -- and includes a VGA cable and a Composite A/V Cable)
And this DVD player:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DVP-SR200P-DVD-Player-Black/dp/B001IBHUU8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299224627&sr=1-1
(Coaxial Audio Digital Output, Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr) Output, Composite Video Output, RCA Audio Output --> and includes A/V cable)
Would I have everything I need? Or would I need some type of adapter or other cables before I can connect the two directly? I just want to watch movies, and I don't have a laptop, just a netbook for now.
Answer
It's difficult to say because the specific setup in terms of placement and type of audio system you plan to use are unknown.
At a minimum you need a video cable (DVD player to projector) and an audio cable (DVD player to audio system). I suspect you can get video with what you describe, but if you want the best quality you want to use the best common format ... i.e. component video (3 x RCA, red/green/blue coding). You also need them long enough (the DVD player and projector CAN be at the back of the room (bounce the remote signal off the screen), but it's often necessary to have a 10-20 ft (or more video cable for some setups). You will need some form of amplifier and speakers and the specific cable depends on the connection formats available. At the simplest a stereo RCA cable will work (and would also work for digital coaxial). Hope that helps.

Can a Benq DS550 dlp projector hook up to a DVD player?
Q. I'm looking to purchase a projector to play DVD's and i'm not sure if this one will play them or not. I did find out that its compatable with video, but not component video, but I do not have a clue what this means. I am able to hook one up to a dvd player, ps2, or laptop.
Answer
The DS550 is an old projector (See link). You could watch DVDs via a laptop as long as you have a driver that will work at 1280x1024 or less. You MAY be able to connect a DVD player via a component to VGA adapter (many projectors accept this), and will be able to connect via composite (yellow RCA) ... although the picture quality won't be great.
The 450:1 contrast ratio is borderline for video (it will look somewhat washed out) .. but it will work.
Bottom line --- you can connect but you won't get a great picture. It would be preferable to find a better projector (one with a 16:9 aspect ratio, better contrast ratio and that accepts a digital HDTV input (DVI or HDMI)). Many other better options are available in the $600+ range.
See elsewhere on the linked site for reviews and recommendations.
