home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (right) is for the video input. The white jack
(middle) is for the left audio input. The red jack (left)
is for the right audio input. The red connector must
always be used in order for the DVD system to
recognize that an external source is plugged in.

switches to the rear auxiliary input when the
red connector cable is inserted.
