Why Won't My Atari Flashback 6 Work When I Hook It Up To My Lcd Smart Tv

The Atari game console has two RCA type plugs on the AV cord - 1 White plug and 1 Yellow plug.My TV has 5 RCA jacks - the colors are; red, white, red, blue, green.I guessed that the white to white plugin made sense and I plugged the yellow pin into the green jack because yellow and green are both Ground colors.The TV screen says "NO SIGNAL" I exchanged the game for another one at the store and I still have the same problem. It seems unlikely that 2 brand new consoles would be faulty, so I'm guessing Im missing something here.

The red, white, red, blue, and green inputs are component inputs. You'll need to consult the manual that came with your TV to find out how to plug in a composite (red, white, yellow) device.
