2.2 Connecting to Your Television

The Funai DVD/VCR Combo player offers multiple connectivity options to your television. Choose the connection type that best suits your TV's available ports for optimal performance.

Composite Video Connection: Use the yellow (video), red (right audio), and white (left audio) RCA cables. Connect these to the corresponding input jacks on your television.
Component Video Connection: For improved picture quality, use component video cables (red, green, blue for video) along with red and white RCA cables for audio. Connect these to the matching input jacks on your television.
HDMI Connection: If your unit supports HDMI (check specifications), use an HDMI cable to connect the player's HDMI output to an HDMI input on your TV. This provides the best audio and video quality with a single cable.
