Option 2: Connecting a composite cable from your TV to your video recorder box
In case your TV does not have an HDMI port, you can connect using composite cables. Here's how:
1. Check device compatibility:
- Check that your TV has composite video input ports (marked as "Video" or "AV In") and matching audio input ports ("Audio" or "L/R").
- Ensure your video recorder box has composite video output ports and audio output ports.
2. Turn off your devices:
- Power off your TV and the video recorder box before attempting the connection.
3. Connect the composite video cable:
- Connect the yellow RCA connector from the video recorder box to the video input port on your TV.
4. Connect the audio cables:
- Connect one of the red and white RCA connectors from your video recorder box to the corresponding left audio input port on your TV.
- Connect the other red and white RCA connector to the right audio input port.
5. Turn on your devices:
- Power on the video recorder box, then turn on your TV.
6. Input selection:
- Use your TV remote to select the input corresponding to the video/audio input ports you connected to.
- This input may be labeled as "Video," "AV In," or similar.
7. Audio output selection (if needed):
- Some TVs may require you to specify the output source for the audio signal. Navigate through your TV's menu to ensure that the audio is coming from the correct input.
