Composite RCA cables are the most commonly available TV-to-DVD connection. You can also use S-Video, component or HDMI if both the DVD and TV supports it.

DVDs can function with simple audio and video cables. However, to get a better resolution, it is suggested to use component cables, or for blu-ray DVD, a single HDMI cable.

Typically a new DVD player comes with the cables that you need to be able to hook it up. I'm not sure of what the cable is called but it's one cable with three color coded prongs on either end.
