Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out- puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

The optical digital connector is fitted with protective cap. Before connecting a cable, remove the cap and keep it safely. When you disconnect the cable, put the cap back in.
