Getting Started

round VHF

If you have "rabbit ears" (an antenna on top of your TV), you will need an additional adapter and 75 ohm extension to make your leads reach from the antenna to the VCR. This connection will work only if you have a strong, clear picture on the TV, indicating a strong signal. Connect the antenna to the adapter, and use the cable extension to go from the adapter to the VCR. Use the supplied 75 ohm cable to connect the VCR to the TV.

Now continue with the hookup:

1.Using whichever adapter you have fit your antenna with, attach that connector to the IN FROM ANT jack on the back of the VCR.

2.Using the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR, connect either end to the OUT TO TV jack on the back of the VCR.

3.Use a second adapter to attach the other end of the 75 ohm connector back into the TV (where you first disconnected the antenna).

Capabilities: With this hookup, you should now be able to perform all basic functions provided by this equipment.

5 Attach the TV and VCR to the Power Supply

Plug in the TV and VCR power cords to the wall outlet or an appropriate

extension cord or surge protector. See Important Safeguards for further

precautions.

6 Install Batteries in the Remote Control

The remote control requires two fresh "AA" batteries. On the back of the remote, a plastic cover slides off in the direction shown by the arrow. Remove this cover and install the batteries, matching the plus end of each battery with the plus mark on the remote.
