How Do I Set Up My New Wii Console to My Television?

The Nintendo Wii, first released on November 19, 2006, has proven to be one of the more interactive game consoles ever created. The system, much like any other video game console, connects to your TV through only one cable. That's the RCA cable, which is used to send visual and audio signals from the Wii to your television, allowing you to see and hear what's going on. While setting up such electronic equipment might seem difficult at first, the process is actually very simple.

Instructions

- 1
  Place your Wii near your television, either vertically or horizontally. If you wish to stand the Wii vertically, attach the Wii stand plate to the Wii's stand plate inserts.
- 2
  Connect the Wii end of the Wii-to-RCA cables into the correct port in the back of the Wii.
- 3
  Connect the RCA jacks of the Wii-to-RCA cable into the back of your television. The yellow, white, and red ends of the jacks must go into the yellow, white, and red ports on the television.

  Connect the Wii end of the Wii's power cable into the correct port on back of the Wii.
- 5
  Connect the AC power jack of the Wii's power cable into an AC outlet in your wall.

  Connect the sensor bar to the top of your television by adhesive tape, or the sensor bar stand that comes with the Wii.

  Change your TV's channel to the proper input channel to make sure your Wii is turned on and properly connected to your television.
