Sound Input port Audio Output OR Connect the audio cable to the Sound Input port OR to externally-powered speakers Connecting Video Equipment to XCLAIM TV If you are planning to use XCLAIM VR to capture video and sound from a VCR, camcorder or other external video equipment, you should make the connections using the composite video and audio input connectors on your XCLAIM TV tuner.
If you are connecting mono video equipment (i.e., only one audio channel), you can use either the left or right audio input on XCLAIM TV for the audio connection, but typically the left (white) audio input is used.
NOTE NOTE With XCLAIM TV connected to XCLAIM VR’s S-video input, you can still use XCLAIM VR’s composite video input for connecting external video equipment to XCLAIM VR. However, since the composite video input provides a video-only connection, you will need to disconnect XCLAIM TV’s audio cable from the Sound Input port on your computer in order to make the audio connection from your external video equipment. If your video source provides composite video and S-video, S-video will produce better results.
