Apple Power Macintosh 8600 - Manual (Page 89)

4 Assemble the cables you need.
Depending on what kind of ports your VCR has, you’ll need different cables
(available at an electronics supply store).
m If your VCR has an S-video In port, you’ll need the following cables:
Video cable with S-video connectors at each end.
Two audio cables with RCA-type connectors (plugs) at each end. The
cables can be separate, or joined like the one in the illustration.
m If your VCR has an RCA Video In port, you’ll need the following cables:
One video and two audio cables with RCA-type connectors (plugs) at each
end. The cables can be separate, or joined like the one in the illustration.
5 Attach one end of the video cable to the Video In port on the VCR.
Follow the directions that came with the VCR.
6 Plug the other end of the video cable into either the S-video output port ( Æ ) or the yellow
composite video output port ( Â ) on the Macintosh.
If the S-video connector doesn’t slide easily into the port, check the pin
alignment and try again. Don’t use force, which could damage the computer
or cable.
7 Plug the RCA-type connectors on the audio cables into the left and right Audio In ports
on the VCR.
