Hello dudes...

I've just got a Bravia KDL-40V4000 but I'm unsure of where I should put the Wii inputs? I don't really want to use the scart adaptor, can I plug in the leads into the sockets at the back? If so, which ones? MTIA :o

    Just plug in the Yellow, White and Red plugs into the relevant slots in the back of your TV - they should be on the side and may say this by the port -

    Red - Audio (R)
    White - Audio (L)
    Yellow - Video

    So I have to use the slot on the side? Can I not use any that are on the back?

  • Presuming your TV looks something like this from the back (from a quick google search)

    Then yes, you have to plug it in at the side because the ports of the back are Component Cables, which you get with a Wii when you first buy them (although you can buy them)

    Thats how it looks...

    So if I have the original cables that came with my Wii, why can'y I use those on the back?

    Sorry, I am a real techo mong..

  • If you dont want to use Scart or the supplied RCA cable that means you have to plug it in the side on your TV. Get a 'component cable'. It fits in the back of your tv with 5 (3 video, 2 sound) wires. You get a better quality of picture over scart/rgb.

    Here is a link to an official one on play.com http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/3256660/Official-Nintendo-Wii-Component-Video-Cable/Product.html

  • RCA cable comes with the Wii. Component cable is bought separately.

    Sorry, I was supposed to write 'you don't get them with the Wii'.
