Connecting an Antenna or Cable TV

aAntenna:

Disconnect the antenna from the rear of the TV and identify the antenna cable. If it is a round 75 ohm coaxial cable connect it directly to the jack marked ANT. IN on your Recorder. If your antenna cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adaptor over the ANT. IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into to the Recorder.

bCable TV:

If your cable connection has no converter or descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and attach it to the ANT. IN jack on the Recorder.

If a converter is required connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the converter to the ANT. IN on your Recorder. This cable hookup permits both TV and Recorder operation.
