Connections

ips

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD/VCR Receiver. Use connections described on pages 11-14.

Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

Caution

Make sure the DVD/VCR Receiver is connected directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.

Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection sys- tem.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD/VCR Receiver

1

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the

TV.

2 Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD/VCR Receiver.

ip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and slip the adapter onto the ANT.IN jack. The adapter does not screw on to the DVD/VCR Receiver, it just slips over the jack.

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD/VCR Receiver.

With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels (all cable channels).
