HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.

Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
