Connections

Tips

Depending on the capabilities of your TV and other equip- ment, there are a variety of ways to connect the DVD+VCR. Choose from the 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 for your specific equipment.

Caution

Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to your TV, and that your TV is tuned to the correct video input channel. Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.

Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to

DVD+VCR

1 Disconnect the antenna from the rear of your 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.

Tip

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, it just slips over the jack.

Without Cable Box

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. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on your TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.

If a converter box is required with your cable system, refer to the notes and illustration below. The cable hookup shown per- mits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
