Most newer models will come with the yellow-red-white connection in front or on the side, like shown in the picture above. If you don't see a connection in front or on the side, check the back of the TV for one. If you don't have one, consider purchasing a RF modulator to convert the yellow-red-white signal to RF or coaxial.

If you see a connection in the back, but have something plugged in to it - unplug the current connection and move to Step 3.

Notice a black cable already plugged in to the television. That is the S-Video connection, and is usually located near the yellow-red-white inputs. The cable on the television has nothing to do with this lesson, so please disregard.
