How to Connect a Toshiba DVD Recorder to a TV and a DirecTV Receiver
- 1). Plug the red, green and blue (RGB) video cables from the matching color Video OUT jacks on the back of the DirecTV receiver to the Video IN jacks on the back of the Toshiba DVD recorder.
- 2). Connect a set of stereo cables by inserting the white and red plugs on each end into the left and right Audio OUT jacks on the DirecTV receiver and the Audio IN jacks on the Toshiba. The red plug always connects to the right audio channel to avoid crossing the stereo signal.
- 3). Plug the second set of RGB video cables from the Toshiba's Video OUT jacks to the component Video IN jacks on the back of the TV, again matching the cable colors to the jacks. Attach the second set of stereo cables from the white and red Audio OUT jacks on the Toshiba to the Audio IN jacks on the TV.
- 4). Plug in and turn on the power for all equipment, then press the TV remote control "Input" button several times until the Toshiba DVD signal appears on the screen.
