Here is how. 1- Since the digital converter boxes I've seen do not have any auxiliary inputs to hook up a DVD player or VCR, you will have to either use the audio/video inputs on the back of your TV, or use an RF modulator. The first step is to look at the back of your TV to determine if it has any audio/video inputs, and if so, how many.

You will need one set of inputs for each source you want to hook up. To identify the most common type of audio/video inputs, look for a set of red, white, and yellow round plugs. There will usually be text above the plugs saying whether they're inputs or outputs.

Your TV may also have a set of audio/video inputs on the front of it. You can use these also, however I prefer to use inputs on the back of the TV first to keep the wiring neat.2- If present, determine what type of audio/video inputs you have on your TV. If you do not have A/V inputs, skip to step 6.As stated above, the most common type of audio/video inputs are the red, white, and yellow plugs.

The red and white plugs carry the audio signal, while the yellow plug carries a composite video signal. The red and white plugs will be common to all audio/video inputs, however some higher end TVs may have s-video and composite video inputs as well. For a given set of audio video inputs, you will always connect the red and white audio inputs, but you only have to pick one of the video inputs.

In the picture above, you can see that my TV has the yellow composite video input(yellow), as well as an s-video input (round and black) and component video (green, blue, red). Component video is the highest quality, followed by s-video, then component video.3- Determine what type of video outputs your source (DVD player or VCR) has. Most decent DVD players will have a set of component video outputs (green, blue, red), along with a composite video output (yellow).

Some may also have an s-video output as well. Unless you have a very low end, or very old VCR, it will likely have a yellow composite video output, and possibly and s-video output.4- Determine what cables you need. You will need a set of red and white audio cables for each source, as well as a video cable.

Which video cable you need depends on what connections your TV and source have. Look at both the source, and the TV, and determine what highest quality connection that can connect them.IE - if your DVD player has component video, s-video, and composite outputs, and your TV accepts component video, you will want to use that. However, if your TV only accepts composite video, you will have to use that.5- Once you have the cables you need, you can hook the source up to the TV.

To do this, simply connect the audio and video cables to the outputs on the source, and the inputs on the TV. Set your TV to the input, rather than cable, and you can now watch your DVD or VCR.6- If you don't have audio/video inputs on your TV, you will need an RF modulator. An RF modulator connects inline with your cable, and will have audio/video inputs to hook your source to.7- To hook up the RF modulator, you will need an extra piece of coaxial cable, and the appropriate audio/video cables (refer to step 4).

Unhook the cable wire from the back of your TV, and connect it to the 'Ant In' input on the RF modulator. Using the extra cable wire you purchased, connect the 'to TV' connection to the cable input on your TV. Now connect the DVD player or VCR to the audio and video inputs on the RF modulator.8- Plug in the power cord of the RF modulator, tune your TV to the channel selected on the back of the RF modulator (either ch3 or ch4), and turn on your source.

The RF modulator will automatically switch from cable to the source when you turn on the source. Tips & Warnings * If you are on a budget, it is fine to use yellow composite video cables throughout, even if your TV can accept s-video or component. You will loose some picture quality though.

* If you're using an RF modulator, it will be hooked up between the converter box and the TV. * If you have a stereo system that you would like to play the audio through, hook the audio cables from your DVD player or VCR up to it instead.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
