Connecting external equipment with a composite
AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output,
connect it to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV
cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:
•
Yellow – Video
•
Red – Audio, right channel
•
White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the
breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your
composite cable.
