AV Cables and Connectors
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.
•
Do not place objects on the unit as they may inter-
fere with proper ventilation.
RCA AV Connection Color Coding
RCA AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
