your television. For the composite output, connect a standard RCA plug cable between the i-DS3
plus
and the composite
video input of your television. Typically the composite video input of a television is color coded yellow. To use the S-video
output you will need a special S-video cable to connect the i-DS3plus to the corresponding input on your television. Refer
to the manual for your television for information on this input and how to use it.
