RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R").
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from

posite, S-Video, RGB) all in one cable.
Optical digital audio connections provide better
audio quality than analog connections.
Coaxial digital audio connections provide better
audio quality than analog connections.
