  • HDMI or AV (RCA) cable (depending on model)

  • Power adapter or built-in battery

  • TV or monitor with available input port

📌 Option 1: HDMI Connection (Most Common)

Most modern mini game consoles—like the 4.5″ Portable HD Console with Controllers—use HDMI.

🧾 Steps:

  3. Plug the other end into an HDMI input port on your TV.

  4. Power on the console using its power button or adapter.

  5. Use your TV remote to switch to the HDMI source (e.g., HDMI1 or HDMI2).

  6. 🎮 Start playing!

💡 Tip: If you see “No Signal,” double-check the HDMI cable is secure on both ends.

📌 Option 2: AV Cable Connection (Yellow, Red, White)

Some older or budget mini game consoles may use AV (RCA) cables.

🧾 Steps:

  1. Locate the AV output port on the console.

  2. Connect the AV cable (match yellow, white, red to ports).

  3. Plug the AV cables into the matching TV input jacks.

  4. Power on the console.

  5. Use the TV remote to select AV or Video input.

  6. You're ready to go!

⚠️ Note: Some newer TVs may not have AV inputs—check your ports before buying.

📌 Option 3: Wireless HDMI Dongle or Streaming (Advanced Models)

High-end handhelds like the RG35XXSP or R36MAX may offer wireless TV output via HDMI dongle or casting features.

🧾 Steps:

  1. Ensure both console and TV are connected to WiFi.
