Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on

Standard RCA cables are needed to connect the
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector
inputs video and the red and white connectors input
right and left stereo audio. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions for proper connection of your auxiliary
device.
