Sanyo TVs are equipped with RCA-type jacks on a back panel for connecting audio/video equipment such as VCRs and DVD players. Some models are equipped with up to three sets of audio/video jacks for connecting several components, such as two or more DVD players, a gaming system or some combination of equipment. All of them connect the same way. The Sanyo remote control can be used to switch quickly from one component to another using the input function.

Step 2

Check the connections on the back of the Sanyo to determine which type of cable to use. If the available jacks are color-coded yellow, white and blue, the TV uses RCA composite cables. If the jacks are color-coded green, red and blue, with an additional pair of red and white cables, then the Sanyo is designed to use component video cables.
