user’s manual for complete connection details as well as unit operation. Input choices
include Component video, S-video, Composite video, as well as an F-connector for cable TV

Then, plug the opposite end of the video cable into your video card on your computer and

the power cord to the power adapter, and then plug the cord into an active wall outlet.
