3Plug the other end of the video cable into either the S-video input port (æ) or the yellow RCA Video input port (˜) on the Macintosh.

If the S-video connector doesn’t slide easily into the port, check the pin alignment and try again. Don’t use force, which could damage the computer or cable.

4Plug the RCA-type connectors on the audio cables into the left and right RCA Audio Out ports on the VCR or camera.

5Plug the RCA-type connectors on the audio cables into the left and right RCA input ports (-) on the computer.

If the cable is color-coded, the red connector is for the right port, and the black or white connector is for the left port.

The next four illustrations show S-video connections and composite video connections for both a VCR and a camera. Your finished connections should look like one of the following:
