The Nintendo Wii console allows players to control the game action by using motion instead of traditional video game controls. Connect the Wii console to an LG TV by either directly connecting the included AV Multi out connector to the RCA inputs or adding an HDMI converter for high fidelity display. The motion sensor bar for the Wii system can be mounted above or below the LG TV set, to capture your motions and control the on-screen user interface.
