There are a number of methods to connect your receiver to your television
A. Using the Composite cable provided ( red, white and yellow leads)
For video, connect the yellow lead to the yellow socket on back of the receiver
and to the corresponding Video Input socket on the back of the TV.
For Right Audio, connect the red lead to the red socket on the back of the
receiver and to the corresponding Right Audio Input socket on the back of the TV.
For Left Audio, connect the white lead to the white socket on the back of the
receiver and to the corresponding Left Audio Input socket on the back of the TV.
B. Using the Component cable (Sold separately) (green, blue and red leads) paying
attention to the color coding, connect the three color coded leads to the
matching sockets in the back of the receiver and Video Out sockets of the TV. You

be achieved using the Composite cable supplied and connecting the red and
white leads as described in Step A above.
C. If your TV has a HDMI input, you can use a HDMI cable ( sold separately) from the
