I'm trying to connect my Wii to my Toshiba SD-P1850 portable DVD player and I don't know how to do it. There's a port that says "AV in" but none of the Wii's AV cables work in it. When I go to the player's "AV in" mode, all I get is a blue screen, whether I have the Wii plugged in or not. Do I need an adapter?
Problem is the page seems to cut itself off halfway through and repeat itself instead of continuing, which isn't massively helpful. However it does say something about starting to play a movie on it once the Wii is plugged in, then changing the input setting. It seems to be more intended for connecting the Wii to a VCR so I don't know if the same thing would work with a portable DVD player, but it might be worth a try?

Blue screen usually just means nothing is connected. The standard video out for the Wii is composite, which uses 3x RCA connectors - 1 yellow, 1 red & 1 white. According to the manual, the video-in on your DVD player is a 3.5mm jack (looks like a regular headphone jack).
You'll need an adaptor - something like this...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Splitter-Stereo-Female-Adapter-White/dp/B079DRH6J1
(not recommending this particular adaptor, just the first one that appeared in a search)
