3. Setup and Installation
The Phoenix Gold VRX.320AV cables are designed for straightforward connection between audio and video components. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Identify Ports: Locate the corresponding RCA input and output ports on your audio/video devices (e.g., DVD player, TV, amplifier, receiver). RCA ports are typically color-coded: yellow for composite video, white/black for left audio, and red for right audio.
- Connect Video: Take the cable with the yellow connector and plug it into the yellow video output port of your source device (e.g., DVD player). Then, connect the other end of the yellow cable to the yellow video input port of your display device (e.g., TV).
- Connect Audio: Take the cables with the white/black and red connectors. Plug the white/black connector into the left audio output port of your source device and the red connector into the right audio output port. Connect the other ends of these cables to the corresponding white/black (left) and red (right) audio input ports on your receiver or display device.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all RCA connectors are firmly seated in their respective ports. A loose connection can result in signal loss or poor audio/video quality.
- Cable Management: Route the cables neatly to avoid tangles and potential damage. Avoid placing cables near sources of electromagnetic interference.

4. Operating Instructions
Once the Phoenix Gold VRX.320AV cables are correctly installed, their operation is passive. They transmit the audio and video signals from your source device to your display or audio system. No specific operational steps are required for the cables themselves.
- Ensure all connected devices are powered on and set to the correct input/output sources.
- Verify that the audio and video settings on your source and display devices are configured appropriately for RCA input.

5. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Phoenix Gold VRX.320AV cables:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cables and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cables loosely. Avoid tight coiling or sharp bends, which can damage the internal wiring. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging cables, not the cable itself. This prevents strain on the cable-to-connector junction.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage to the jacket or connectors.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your audio/video setup, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Audio/Video Signal:
- Ensure all cables are securely connected to the correct input/output ports on both devices.
- Verify that the source device is powered on and playing content.
- Check that your display/receiver is set to the correct input source.
- Test with another known-working cable if available to rule out a cable fault.
- Poor Audio/Video Quality (e.g., static, distorted image, color issues):
- Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust or debris.
- Check for any kinks or damage along the cable length.
- Ensure cables are not running parallel to power cords or other sources of electrical interference.
- Confirm that the source device is outputting a clean signal.
