How can I connect my new t.v. with an out dated cable box?

1 Answer

Answer :

I checked out my recently acquired Westinghouse and find the same things. However I did find a plug that simply says ‘video’ right below the right and left audio inputs. You might try plugging the yellow plug into that. The red and white cables would go into the top two rca jacks in the component inputs. Definitely not going to get high definition out of that setup, but the TV should down-convert to at least make it viewable.
