How to Make a Wii Work on an RCA TV With a Universal Remote

The Nintendo Wii is a video game console popular with families and children. Setting up the console properly requires installing several components and connecting to a television. The Wii's A/V video and audio connections make it possible to connect to a host of TVs, including those manufactured by RCA. The Wii will work with an RCA television and its universal remote after connecting the A/V cable's colored ends into the back or front of the TV.

Instructions

- 1
  Place the Nintendo Wii on a flat surface near the RCA television. Insert the square end of the DC input cord into the back of the Wii with the DC input connector. Connect the other end of the cord into a close wall outlet.

  Plug the rectangular end of the A/V cable into the rear of the console with the AV multi-out connector (located above the DC input connector). Insert the three color-coded ends of the cable into the front or rear of the RCA television using the circular "Video in" and "Audio in" ports. Make sure that each end matches its identically colored port.

  Install the additional Wii hardware required to make the sensor work. Install two AA batteries into the Wii remote and connect the battery cover. Insert the sensor bar's plug into the rear of the console. Place the bar above or below the RCA television.

  Press the power button on both the Wii console and on the RCA television's universal remote. Locate the Input selection menu for your specific RCA television. If the RCA television and remote has an input button, press the remote's "Input" button until the screen displays the Wii menu. Alternately, some televisions' input channel is actually a low-numbered (2, 3 or 4) or high-numbered (92 or 99) channel. Press the input channel's number using the numbers on the universal remote, or the up and down channel buttons until the Wii menu appears on the screen.
