VIDEO IN jack on your TV. Use the supplied video cable, which has yellow ends. On the TV, the VIDEO IN
jack is usually yellow and might be labeled video, CVBS, composite, or baseband.

the rear of the DVD Player and to the right/left AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. The supplied audio
cable has red and white ends. Match the cable colors to the jack colors. On the TV, the AUDIO IN jacks

Turn on the TV power. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called
AUX or AUXILIARY IN,AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc.These channels are
often near channel 00. Or, your TV’s remote control may have a switch or button that lets you select a
VIDEO setting. See your TV manual for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel and change TV channels
down until you see the DVD logo on the TV screen.
Remember...
● Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the
VCR to a TV.This type of connection may distort the picture and sound or give you a black and white picture.
Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback
of some Discs.
● If your TV does not have red, white, and yellow Audio and Video In jacks, refer to the DVD Player’s owner’s manual
for other hookup options. If your TV only has a single Antenna In or RF In jack, you will need an RF
modulator. See the owner’s manual for connection details.
