RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding

red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Push the plugs in all the way
to make a good connection.
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away
from power cords and speaker
cables.
