How to Convert Cable to AV Cable
Although cable is brought into your home through a special coaxial cable, many televisions no longer have the coaxial cable input. If your TV does not have the input or if you want an improved picture quality, use RCA A/V connectors. With this connection, there are three different cables--one for video and two for audio. The cables also provide a slight quality increase over the standard coaxial cable.
