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 system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram.
1 | Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 75 ohm Coaxial Cable |
DVD/VCR |
IN
(ANT)
75 ohm Coaxial Cable
OUT (TV)
2 | Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire |
DVD/VCR |
Matching Transformer 300 ohm Input 75 ohm output (not supplied)
IN
(ANT)
OUT (TV)
300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire
3 | Separate VHF and UHF Antennas | DVD/VCR |
| Combiner | |
|
| 75/300 ohm Inputs |
| UHF | 75 ohm output |
| (not supplied) | |
| VHF | |
|
|
300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire
IN
(ANT)
OUT (TV)
75 ohm Coaxial 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 DVD/VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the DVD/VCR 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.
