CONNECTING RADICA PLAY TV PING PONG™

TO YOUR TV OR VCR

CONNECTING TO A TV

NOTE: To connect Play TV Ping Pong™ directly to a TV, the TV

must be equipped with audio and video input jacks. They are

commonly found on the front of the TV near the contrast, color,

and picture adjustment controls, or on the rear of the TV near the

antenna and cable/satellite jacks.

If your TV does have audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow

video plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on your TV; the white

audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack; and the red audio plug

into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set the TV to the appropriate

video input mode (see your TV operating manual for details).

Please Note: If your TV is not stereo, you can either plug the

white audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio

plug disconnected, or, if you would like to hear sounds from both

the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio

cable (available at your local electronics store) to connect both the

white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack. 

If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may

connect Ping Pong through a VCR connected to your TV.

TV, insert the yellow video plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on

your VCR; the white audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack;

and the red audio plug into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set

white audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio
