Basic connections

If you are using an antenna system, follow these instructions. If you are a cable (CATV) subscriber, skip ahead to page 14 for the proper connections.

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

3

Matching Transformer

 

300 ohm Input

IN

75 ohm output

(ANT)

 

(not supplied)

OUT

 

 

(TV)

300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire

 

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

 

DVD/VCR

 

 

Combiner

 

 

 

75/300 ohm Inputs

 

 

UHF

75 ohm output

 

VHF

(not supplied)

 

 

 

 

 

IN

 

300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire

 

(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.
