How do you hook a Blu-ray player to a tv using one audio and 1 video connector?

Your question can't be answered clearly because neither tv or Blu-ray Players have universal connections.
In general you will need to find compatible connections. If you are using HDMI, all signals are carried on the one cable. If you are using RCA, the connection requires three connections, for SVideo, there is one cable for video and another for sound.

I have my bluray player hooked up directly to my HDTV using a HDMI cable but there is no sound what have I done wrong?
Put the bluray into PLAY then go into the AUDIO MENU and change through the choices. When you select the correct one the sound should come on.
What does HDCP mean as applied to computer monitor cables or connections?
HDCP is a method to encrypt the video and audio travelling on an AV cable (as for example the HDMI or DVI cable that connects your PC to the monitor or your Bluray player to your TV). This is done to prevent you from using the HDMI or DVI outputs of your computer (or bluray player), to copy the audio and video of a movie, by plugging the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of a recorder (yes, there are recorders with HDMI inputs, but they cannot record signals encrypted with HDCP). In plain english, HDCP prevents you from "lifting" the audio and video of an HD movie from the cable. The Hollywood studios mandate that both your playback device (aka computer or bluray player) and your monitor (aka PC monitor or TV) must support HDCP in order to be able to view Bluray-Movie content (and subscription HD satellite/cableTV channels too). On a practical level, any device with an HDMI plug supports HDCP*. But only some DVI devices support HDCP. If both your playback device and your monitor support HDCP, just forget about HDCP. If your are using a PC, just get a software Bluray player like WinDVD (sorry, no free ones exist) and start watching movies. If you are using a bluray player, just put the disc in and start watching, lol. If your playback device or monitor doesn't have HDCP, then the movie will either not play or play downscaled to standard definition (aka DVD quality). This is bad. One solution is to use a piece of software called AnyDVD HD that will convert a protected Bluray-Movie to an unprotected one like the ones you can make at home (it acts as an intemediate between the Bluray drive and the software player). HDCP is required only for protected Blurays, hence you have effectively dodged HDCP. Otherwise you can use the component output of your playback device, which mysteriously allows FullHD playback without HDCP (HDCP is not possible on component).
Can you play a Blu-ray player on a regular tv?
Yes you can. Virtually all Bluray players have an analog output which is standard definition. This can be connected to the video input of any television and you will see a standard definition image from a Bluray disc. The quality won't be as good as is on the disc of course but at least the disc will play. It is normally possible to set up the HDMI connector to output a standard definition signal. This is probably not of much use as almost all televisions that have HDMI inputs will also accept high definition signals. It might also be worth pointing out that standard DVDs will also play on a Bluray player. Using the analog output from the player with a standard DVD playing will give the same quality of image as any standard DVD player.
A toslink is what kind of cable?
A toslink cable has a round connector that provides digital audio data using small pulses of light instead of electricity. It is manufactured by Toshiba.
Why won't my DVD player play in color... I have a Sony DVD player. Everything is hooked up properly. Advice?
If you are using a s connector cable, a bent pin inside the connector can cause a no color picture.
Do you need a high definition tv to have a blu ray player?
To watch in high definition, you must have an HD television with an HDMI connection. However, using the analog outputs from a Bluray player, any standard definition television can be used.
Why audio is not coming in TV when laptop is connected with HDMI cable?
Computers are increasingly using digital video instead of VGA. Many computers now have a DVI connector in addition to the standard VGA connector. DVI carries digital video and happens to be the same signal format as used in HDMI cables. Using a DVI to HDMI cable allows most modern televisions to display the computer screen. There is one large difference between DVI and HDMI in that DVI connectors do not carry audio. If the computer has a DVI connector, there is definitely no audio carried. If the laptop has an HDMI connector, it may be the case that it still carries no audio. Some computers use HDMI as the video connector to save space but retain the DVI signal format, missing the audio signal completely. If this is the case, all is not lost. Most televisions that have an HDMI input also have an analog audio input connector linked to the same input. The setup menu normally allows a selection of digital audio (using the HDMI cable) or analog (using the analog connectors). If there is more than one HDMI input the analog option may be on just one connector. If this does not solve the sound problem, there might be a problem with the audio output on the computer itself. A search through the control panel help to eliminate the problem.
How do you wire bnc connector to rca video and audio?
The BNC is a crimp-type connector. It is designed to be used with RG6 cable or similar, but may work with your other cables. The connector has to mated to the diameter of the wire used. If the wire is too thin or there isn't many conductor strands in the cable, using this type of connector is risky. If you just want to connect these two different types, there are many BNC to RCA adapters available.

Try to reinstall flash player or use another browser (if you are using IE - try Firefox).
How do you watch your old VHS tapes on your new LCD TV?
First, you need a VHS player. If you have a collection of tapes, the player is probably available to you. You will need to take a video and audio signal from the VHS player. In Europe, it will probably be a Scart connector, a 21 pin rectangular connector that carries video and audio. In North America, it is normally an RCA connector for video and two RCAs for audio. The leads will connect to the television on one of the input channels. It will probably have a yellow, a red and a white RCA socket (Phono socket). Make a note of the input number or name and select that input using the remote control. You should now have the VHS player showing on the screen. Remember that it will still be VHS quality even if the television is HD so don't expect a miraculous improvement in quality.
How do you connect my laptop with HDMI and vizio 22inch HDTV to external speakers?
I would suggest using an audio slitter cable if it's an old set of external speakersor almost any DVD/BlueRay will have multiple audio in on the back of it (like audio in for TV or audio for Aux or Tuner). Then just set the single audio out to your speakers. Also the DVD/BlueRay Player will be best so you can change which device plays the audio using a remote control. (If I understood the question right).
Can you use a Blu-ray player with a SDTV?
Yes. Blu-Ray players will only operate with a standard definition television using the analog outputs on the player. The outputs are standard definition of course, so the HD quality of the BluRay disc won't be seen.
