You would need an HDMI cable to connect external devices such as a cable box, soundbar or wired internet. However, you do not need an HDMI cable if you plan on using Wi-Fi and streaming apps.

You can connect to DVD and VHS via HDMI cable. Otherwise, you will need to utilize an RCA to HDMI converter like this item found at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-rca-to-hdmi-converter-black/6134312.p?skuId=6134312
