Antenna to DVD/VCR connection
The DVD/VCR must be connected “between” the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an antenna sys- tem to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram.
Example 1: Combination VHF/UHF antenna with 75 ohm coaxial cable

Example 3: Separate VHF and UHF antennas | ||
| Combiner |

| 75 ohm output (not supplied) | |
VHF | UHF | |
| lead (flat) wire | |
| 300 ohm twin |
|
| 75 ohm coaxial | DVD/VCR |
| cable | |
NOTE:
If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300 ohm inputs and one 75 ohm output.
NOTES:
•A clear picture will not be obtained by the main unit unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the main unit properly.
•For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor type antenna is required.
•If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.
DVD/VCR to TV connection
After you have connected the antenna to the DVD/VCR, you must connect the DVD/VCR to the TV.
Below are 3 common methods of connecting your DVD/VCR to a TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the con- nection diagram.
This DVD/VCR has a single 75 ohm output for connection to a TV.If your TV has separate VHF and UHF antenna inputs (num- bers 2 and 3 below), use a splitter to connect the DVD/VCR to the TV for VHF and UHF reception.
