Summary: How to set up your Wii console in this free video on setting up and maximizing your Nintendo Wii.
"O.k., now I'm going to show you how to quickly set up your Wii. So you have your Wii unit and you want to grab your AC power adapter, your composite or component video cable, and then your sensor bar cord. So, this is what the back of the Wii will look like and it's pretty simple, all the cords fit exactly into where they go. So this is where the sensor bar connects and then you'll see either your component or composite video cable will connect right here and then your AC power adapts, connects right below that. So that is basically it, I mean you just plug in your power, you take your component or your composite video cable and you plug that into your TV., and then you can decide which way you want to place your Wii. You can place it flat like this, you see where this little grooved part is at the bottom. That's how you know it's the right side or you can stand it up like this or you can use the stand that it came with, it gives it a cool look and you can stand it up like that. So that is basically how you set up the Wii. It's also very important to set the sensor bar correctly a swell. O.k., so now you're ready to place your sensor bar, and you want to make sure that the cord is coming out the back and the other side is facing forward and you want to place it in the exact center of your TV, pretty close to the front and get it to stay like that. The Wii actually comes with a little sticky stand for the sensor bar so that it will stay in place easily, but that's actually on my other TV, but I recommend using that."
