Setup Examples

Audio and Video Cables

Composite. Many TVs and VCRs have connectors for Composite A/V cables. If your

equipment has them, you can use the Composite A/V cables for both audio and video..

RF Coaxial. Some TVs only have connectors for RF Coaxial cable. If your TV only has an

RF connector, use the RF Coaxial cable for both audio and video and see Example 4 on

page 18 (or see Example 1 on see page 12 if you also have a VCR):

S-Video. If you have S-Video connectors on your equipment, and want the highest quality

video, use the included S-Video cable. The S-Video cable carries a video signal. You can

connect the red and white ends of a Composite A/V cable to carry the audio signal.

If your TV has only one audio

connector, connect just the white

and yellow ends of the Composite A/V

cable (don’t connect the red end).
