Insignia NS-FSDVDR DVD recorder

Connecting your TV with an RF modulator

If your TV does not have A/V, S-Video, or component jacks, you can connect your TV using an RF modulator (not supplied). Your recorder does not have a built-in RF modulator.

Note

This connection provides the poorest picture quality of the connections shown in this guide. If your TV has A/V input jacks, see “Connecting to your TV using composite cables (basic connection)” on page 10.

Note

The method you use to connect your TV depends on the type of jacks your TV has.

To connect your recorder to your TV using an RF modulator:

1Disconnect the 75 ohm antenna cable from the back of your TV.

2Connect the 75 ohm antenna cable from the antenna wall outlet to the ANTENNA IN jack on your recorder. If the antenna input jack of your TV is already being used, disconnect the RF cable from your TV.

3Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on your recorder to the RF modulator (usually marked ANT IN) using a 75 ohm RF cable.

4Connect the RF modulator to your TV using another 75 ohm RF cable.

5Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks on your recorder to the AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks of your RF modulator using Audio/Video cables.

6Set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever TV channel is least used in your area. If the RF modulator has a modulator/antenna switch, set it according to the RF modulator’s manual.

7Turn on your TV and switch it to the same channel as you set on the RF modulator (3 or 4).

For more details, follow the instructions supplied with the RF modulator.

Connecting to an audio system

You can connect your recorder to a standard stereo system or to a Dolby Digital decoder, MD deck, or DAT deck. All devices should be turned off when you change connections.

Notes

Playing a DVD using incorrect settings can generate noise distortion and can also damage the speakers.

The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.

To connect the audio signal from your recorder to an audio system:

Connect audio cables (provided) from the AUDIO OUT jacks (left-white and right-red) on your recorder to the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of your stereo system.
