VCR
The connections that are found on the back of the most common VCRs are
similar to TV connections. All of the ‘IN’ and ‘VHF/UHF IN’ jacks are used
to receive a signal from the set-top box or from another source. Also note
the channel ¾ switch. When using the VHF/UHF jacks, this switch must be
set to the corresponding channel on the television in order for the
audio/video feed to be received.
DVD player
Unlike VCRs, majority of today’s DVD players only feature output
connections. They include S-Video and RCA connections. It is
recommended that you use the S-Video output wherever possible for best
results.
Audio/Video receiver or home theater system
Most Audio/Video receivers function as concentrators for home theater
systems. By taking input from various sources (VCR, DVD, etc) receivers
direct the output to one or more common destinations like your TV-set
and/or audio system. Depending on the number and type of A/V inputs
that the receiver has, there may be many different ways of combining your
audio/video equipment together. This manual will review a few straight
forward examples.

Console gaming system
Although there are a great variety of console gaming systems, most of
them feature some type of RCA connectors. For example, both XBOX and
PlayStation require proprietary RCA cables, which come with the
respective products.
