camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE
system. Adapter connectors or cables could be
required to connect the auxiliary device to the A/V
jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack (C) is for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
