Composite Video TV to PC Connection How-To

You Need:

Making The Connection:

A Composite Video cable has three RCA plugs on either end: video, stereo audio left, stereo audio right.

Most computers that have a Composite Video output port do not have the corresponding RCA audio outputs, therefore you may need a separate connector for audio. Generally a stereo 1/8” mini-plug to RCA stereo cable will work for this purpose. Connect the mini-plug to the computer audio out jack and the red and white RCA plugs to the corresponding inputs on the TV.

Your PC should automatically configure the display on your TV. If you encounter problems or need more information, consult the manual for your computer’s video card or your computer manufacturer.
