Connect A/V Cables to Devices

A DVD player is used for this particular example. Other devices that can be plugged into the video switcher include a video game console, digital camcorder, VCR, digital camera or any other device that uses composite video and stereo audio cables.

Connect the yellow composite video cable to the video out port on the DVD player. Connect the red-white RCA stereo audio cables to the color-coded audio out ports on the DVD player.

Note: This video switcher does not accommodate S-Video connections, like shown in the picture above.
