  1. If you want forget using the red,white and yellow one and red and white and just using the rgx coaxial cable and tune it in to the tv. Otherwise use the red,white, and yellow cable and connected to an av port in to the tv. Unhook the coxial cable that is currently connected to the tv and connected to the one that fits out of the two on the dvd, vcr combo. then connected the new rgx coaxial cable to the tv and the vcr.  the other red and white one is used if you have a surround sound system


  2. You can only connect your device to your TV through a coaxial cable if your DVD/VCR player is a recorder. If it is a recorder, have a coaxial cable source going into the coaxial input in your device, which will allow you to watch the TV channels on your DVD player. Then, have another coaxial cable coming from the output in the device, going to the Input in your TV. You mentioned that you have a red, white, and yellow cable. That is called a Composite RCA cable. You can have that connected in combination with the coaxial connections if you want to. But if the device is not a recorder, just have the RCA cable coming from the output in the device, going to the Input in your TV. You also mentioned that you have a Red and White cable. Red and White and Left and Right audio. White is Left, and Red is Right. This cable is mostly used with Component video, which is the red, blue, and green video cable. You can also use the red and white audio cable to connect your DVD player to a home theater system, especially if your TV doesn't have speakers. If you only have the coaxial connection going to your TV, put your TV on channel 3 or 4 to watch DVD's. If you only have the RCA cable going to your TV, then put your TV on the proper input channel. With both connections going to your TV, of course, you can use either channel 3 or 4, or the Input channel.

  3. by  the  coaxial  cable can i assume  you  mean like  the  one  that  comes  from  your  cable  company?

    if  so  then  you  use  the  cale  from  the  wall  to the "cable  in"  your  dvd/vcr and  ano another  from  the  "cable  out to  tv"  and  the  other  end  to  yiour  set.

    then  use  the  red white  and  yellow to  the  tv as  well and  run the  video  from  your  tv's  "LINE IN"  if  you  want  better quality ..

    if  you  have  a  stereo close  by   and  your  tv  has  the  red  and  white  (audio  right and left )  then  get another  red and  white  only  cable  and  hook  the  tv up to  the stereo.  if your  tv doesnt  have  it  then  just  run  the  audio line out from  the dvd   to  the  stereo  and  watch  all  your  tv  through  the  video  machine

  4. the cable with the red,white and yellow jacks it's called a composite cable....

    put each jack in the matching color on the  back of the DVD player....now do the same on the back of the tv set.....if you cant find them on the back.. they might be on the front...depending on how old the tv is......then select the output number or video on the tv....and  that's it ...you can enjoy your movies

  5. the 3 cable with 3 different colors will do.. you just connect each color to its respective match color.

    good luck..
