HELPFUL HINTS

Your TV capability determines which

type of video connection you can make with the DVD Receiver.

If your TV only has a single Antenna In jack, you will need an accessory RF

Modulator to view DVD playback on your TV. The RF Modulator converts the video from the Receiver so it can play through the TV’s Antenna connector.

See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF Modulator availability.

2 VIDEO CONNECTION x1

Connect the yellow VIDEO OUT jack on the Receiver to the matching VIDEO IN jack on the TV.

OPTIONAL TV Audio Connection

In order to listen to normal TV broadcast channels through the Home Cinema Surround Receiver (if your TV has AUDIO OUT jacks) you must make an audio connection.
