How To Connect
A Video Game System
Answer:
This
section explains how to connect video game systems to your television.
Most
video game systems come with the cables required for connecting them to
your TV.
Note:
Many game systems also have their own proprietary connections on one
end of these cables.
If your video game system has a proprietary connection then
you must use the cables that came with the system or compatible
cables for your system.

the composite video (yellow) cable to the green video input with the yellow
ring around it on your TV. Connect the audio (red and white) cables to the
audio AV IN jacks on your TV. See the illustration below.
