I want to hook it up to the tv and am wonder how. here is what i have. 1.RGX Coxial Cable- it looks a cable where it has ends that are circular. you screw one end to the tv and one and to tthe dvd\tape player. 2.a cable that has three colors-the colors are red white and yellow. you stick this in the dvd and the tv. this is the big question. i dont know where to stik the cable in both things. please tell me where exactly to put it. also these are thicker than number 3. 3. a cable with two cables-it is a cable that has the colors that are red and white. (where do you stick it) \ now thank you very much for answering this question. Thank you!!

  • Answer:

    You can only connect your device to your TV through a coaxial cable if your DVD/VCR player is a recorder. If it is a recorder, have a coaxial cable source going into the coaxial input in your device, which will allow you to watch the TV channels on your DVD player. Then, have another coaxial cable coming from the output in the device, going to the Input in your TV. You mentioned that you have a red, white, and yellow cable. That is called a Composite RCA cable. You can have that connected in combination with the coaxial connections if you want to. But if the device is not a recorder, just have the RCA cable coming from the output in the device, going to the Input in your TV. You also mentioned that you have a Red and White cable. Red and White and Left and Right audio. White is Left, and Red is Right. This cable is mostly used with Component video, which is the red, blue, and green video cable. You can also use the red and white audio cable to connect your DVD player to a home theater system, especially if your TV doesn't have speakers. If you only have the coaxial connection going to your TV, put your TV on channel 3 or 4 to watch DVD's. If you only have the RCA cable going to your TV, then put your TV on the proper input channel. With both connections going to your TV, of course, you can use either channel 3 or 4, or the Input channel.

the cable with the red,white and yellow jacks it's called a composite cable.... put each jack in the matching color on the back of the DVD player....now do the same on the back of the tv set.....if you cant find them on the back.. they might be on the front...depending on how old the tv is......then select the output number or video on the tv....and that's it ...you can enjoy your movies

If you want forget using the red,white and yellow one and red and white and just using the rgx coaxial cable and tune it in to the tv. Otherwise use the red,white, and yellow cable and connected to an av port in to the tv. Unhook the coxial cable that is currently connected to the tv and connected to the one that fits out of the two on the dvd, vcr combo. then connected the new rgx coaxial cable to the tv and the vcr. the other red and white one is used if you have a surround sound system

the 3 cable with 3 different colors will do.. you just connect each color to its respective match color. good luck..

by the coaxial cable can i assume you mean like the one that comes from your cable company? if so then you use the cale from the wall to the "cable in" your dvd/vcr and ano another from the "cable out to tv" and the other end to yiour set. then use the red white and yellow to the tv as well and run the video from your tv's "LINE IN" if you want better quality .. if you have a stereo close by and your tv has the red and white (audio right and left ) then get another red and white only cable and hook the tv up to the stereo. if your tv doesnt have it then just run the audio line out from the dvd to the stereo and watch all your tv through the video machine
