VCR, attach it to either the sound input port or the left and right RCA input ports.

speakers, attach it to either the sound output port or the left and right RCA audio

The illustrations below show two typical cabling arrangements for amplified
speakers. The first shows a cable with stereo miniplug connectors, and the
second shows a cable with RCA-type connectors. In both illustrations, the two
speakers are joined to each other by standard speaker wires. Some speaker
pairs have two cables (one per speaker) which must be joined by a dual-plug
adapter before they can be attached to the computer.
