4. Plug the other end of the RCA cable into the red-and-white, female RCA auxiliary jacks on the audio receiver.
   Auxiliary RCA jacks may have a variety of different labels including Aux and VCR 1/DAT. For example, in the following figure, the RCA connectors are plugged into an auxiliary RCA jack labeled LD/TV.
