RCA cables explained

An RCA cable is used to carry audio and video signals.

 

The name RCA comes from “Radio Corporation of America” which is a simple and low cost designed cable.   These cables transmit signals from your DVD and VCR etc to your TV.   These cables are therefore colour coded so that you insert the correct cable into the correct input on the back of the device.   (see image to right)
