Those cables are RCA, for trasporting audio and video;
Red(right channel) and white(left channel) for audio, yellow for video

    Fun fact: there is no right or left channel in the RCA standard. One (white IIRC) is positive both channels and the other (red IIRC) is negative right. That way one is actually mono with both channels overlayed, to get stereo the system (tv, hi-fi, etc…) subtracts one from the other and then inverts the negative one for two channels.
