Redoing entire h/t sytem which necissatated unplugging all wires, taking items off the towers and moving them to a single low-boy. Now can't figure out/remember how to wire the vcr! The VCR has 3 jacks...audio--left and right and one video jack. The Outlaw has Y-PB and PR, so, which jack goes to what? This is so frustrating to forget and also not to know, memory loss from complications of diabetes and such has really ruined the 'ol memory bank :(

    One thing i forgot (imagine that), the VCR will only be used for playback..no recording.

    That video jack is standard NTSC composit video; looks like the Outlaw should (somewhere?) have an RCA composite video input jack but the ones you're looking at are for chrominance and luminance component video inputs.

    Taken from:
    http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/950.html

    manual for 950 at: http://pdf.outlawaudio.com/outlaw/docs/950manual.pdf if you don't have one.
    EDIT: Oh, yeah, "VIDEO 1, 2, 3" are composite inputs - see pages 8 and 9 of the manual (feature number "13" on the back panel)...
    EDIT^2: or the "VCR jacks" :-P (Feature number "14").

    you will need to hook that into a red(right) black(left) and yellow(video) ...the pretty ones you describe are component and will match the device it is coming from. They carry red, blue and green colors and put them back together inside the outlaw950. you will get all kinds of funky stuff if you try to put your VCR into those RGB's

    They're really handy; I use one to record HiFi analog audio in FM :-)
