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).
