How do I switch to the composite input?

The input cable is very werid, it has two composite plugs and a s video. I take it that if I want to play a video game I need to get a s-video to composite adaptor.

thanks,
Robert

Menu bar - Controls - at the bottom of the list are Tuner, Composite and S-video

The three connections are audio with a mini-plug, composite and s-video.
You also have an adaptor for the mini-plug with input for Left and Right audio inputs.

what are you trying to connect, maybe can experiment on mine
and assume you are getting signal with the tuner

At least that was an easy fix, though frustrating.
My internet's been down since last nite. Everytime it rains for 2 years now. This is my frustration.
