"Hi, I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, and I'm going to show you how to hook up your DVD recorder to a DVD player and your television. Walk with me. All right, here we are at the back here.

They're also called phono connections. So we're going to come out of our VCR up here, with the yellow for 'video', then the red for 'right audio', and then the white for 'left audio'.
