How can I hook my RCA Colortrax XS to my DVD/VCR players?

We were given a used RCA Colortrax XS and we can't figure out how to hook up our video players to it. Anyone know how? Model: F27242GY There's a place on the back to hook up something, but none of our connectors fit.

There should be at least some RCA connectors on the back.

These have a yellow, red, white connector.

If you don't have these, then it might take a COAX cable (the type that goes from wall to cable box on most setups).

What do you have for cables?

After some research, it seems like this model, out of all the models manufactuered in the 96-97, have no additional jacks. Looks like there is just a COAX cable connector?

Yes, there is a COAX cable connecter in the back. I already have that in use for the cable box. There are however, two other connecters in the back that look like RCA cable connecters but they're not color coded and the red, yellow and white ones do not fit in there.

The only other place is my cable box that has yellow, red and white cable connecters, is there any possible way to use those for a dvd player?

Does your DVD player have a COAX input? If so, you can have the cable coming from the cable box go into this, then from the DVD player have another coax going into the TV.

So i'll need to split the COAX cable coming out of the dvd player?

There "should" be two COAX connections on the back of the DVD player. One for input (the cable box) and one for output (to the TV)

What model DVD player is this?
