the TV ANT IN socket on the back of your TV. If so, simply unplug the lead at the TV and
plug it into the TV ANT IN socket on the
.

C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow cable
Using the appropriate socket colour-coding on sockets 4 and 7, you can connect to your TV with

For audio, connect the same RCA cable between the white and red sockets in socket group 4 and
the corresponding sockets on your TV. Match the colour of the leads—white and red—with the
colour of the sockets. (All three leads of the cable—yellow, white and red—should be plugged into
the same socket group on your TV.)
