CONNECTING RADICA PLAY TV BUCKMASTERS HUNTIN’™
TO YOUR TV OR VCR
CONNECTING TO A TV
NOTE: To connect Play TV Huntin’™ directly to a TV, the TV must be equipped with audio
and video input jacks. They are commonly found on the front of the TV near the contrast,
color, and picture adjustment controls or on the rear of the TV near the antenna and
cable/satellite jacks.
If your TV does have audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow video plug from the
rifle into the video-in (yellow) jack on your TV, the white audio plug into the left audio-in
(white) jack, and the red audio plug into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set the TV to
the appropriate video input mode (see your TV's operating manual for details).
Please Note: If your TV is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio plug into the
audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or if you would like to hear the
sounds from both the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable
(available at your local electronics store) to allow you to connect both the white and red
plugs to the single audio-in jack.
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect Play TV Huntin’™
through a VCR connected to your TV.
CONNECTING TO A VCR
To connect Play TV Huntin’ to the VCR connected to your TV, insert the yellow video plug
from the rifle into the video-in (yellow) jack on your VCR, the white audio plug into the
left audio-in (white) jack and the red audio plug into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then
set the TV and VCR to the appropriate video input modes (see the VCR and TV operating
manuals for details).
Please Note: If your VCR is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio plug into the
audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or if you would like to hear the
sounds from both the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable
(available at your local electronics store) to allow you to connect both the white and red
plugs to the single audio-in jack.
