1. Use the included 1/8" (3.5 mm)-to-RCA audio-video cable to connect the output of your video
source (VCR, camcorder, etc.) to the AV In port of Video Archiver. Make sure to match colors
when making connections: yellow for composite video, red (right) and white (left) for stereo

charging adapter.
