The top photo is the back of the TV.
The middle photo is the back of the DVD.


The whole top row of the TV should get the R, W, G, B, R of the DVD.

The bottom photo is the back of the VCR.


For the VCR, The second row of the TV should get the red and white out,
and I don' think there is an adapter for the video, so just listen to
the sound. I've found that Law & Order works well with just the sound.
All of the jacks suggested so far are RCA.

Like GF says, there are 5-wires joined together, or 3-wire and 2-wire.
For the DVD

You don't have a coaxial connector on the DVD or TV? If you do, get an
RF modulator, like this
https://www.amazon.com/AmerTac-VR100...99813821&psc=1
plug the VCR into that and plug the output of that into the TV. Not
only for the right jacks but because the VCR is analog and the TV is
digital.

Maybe you can find an RF modulator with different otuput jacks that will
fit your tv better, if you have no coax connector on the TV. You'll
tune the tv to channel 3 or 4 to watch it.


What kind of cables do I need? What jack should each connector be plugged into on each device?
