may 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 is (C) for the
