Connect the output of the DVD drive Red white and yellow connections to the respective input connections of the Sony XBR.  

You may need to buy a longer cable than the one furnished with your TV.
Insert DVD from the proper zone and play.

I've included the FAQ's for the DVD for your convenience.

I don't have a red, yellow, and white connections on the back of the Samsung DVD-ROM drive.

I need information on video cards etc.
You need a video card with an output for tv. Some of them have video out and some have the s-video connector. I have the ATI all-in-wonder with the s-video. Not sure what inputs are on a sony xbr. If it doesn't have s-video then you need a video card with video and audio outputs or an RF output.
Without the TV out in Samsung drive, U can go for some video cards which supports TV, i.e. cards with TV outs.  For eg:- Trident 9750 is an AGP with 4MB VRam, that has an output which we can connect to TV.  They'll provide the wire for that connection along with the Card.

Or U can go for a VGA to TV Converter.  i.e. the output which has to be given to monitor can be converted to the input to the TV.
