Step-by-Step Directions for Hooking Up an Emerson to a Cable Box
- 1). Connect one end of your RCA cables into the output RCA ports on the back of your VCR. Connect the yellow RCA connector to the "Video Out" port and connect the white connector to the "Audio Out" port. Ignore the red connector.
- 2). Connect the other end of the RCA cables to the yellow and white RCA input ports on your cable box.
- 3). Turn your VCR, cable box, and television on, and make sure you can see your cable box's signal on your television.
- 4). Press the "Input" button on your cable box's remote to switch to the device's input mode. You should now see the visual signal from your VCR on your television.
