There really isn't any configuration required. Just plug a composite video source into one of the two RCA plugs.

What kind of power supply are you using?

I'm using a 9V one, which I know works. I tried both the white and yellow inputs. Also, I assume the DC in is the red one, right? Is there and on off switch? There are 3 switches in the back but i don't know what they do.

How much current can the 9V supply produce?
Make sure that the jack on the 9V supply is center-positive.
The buttons on the back are for the on-screen menu, I believe

Yup. Standards are a good thing - you can never have too many of them. :wink:
