If your antenna has 300-ohm lead-in wire, you need to first convert it to a 75-ohm cable by connecting a 300-to-75-ohm matching transformer (such as Cat. No. 15-1253, not supplied) following these steps.

300-to-75-Ohm MatchingTransformer

a.Connect the antenna’s lead-in wire to the transformer’s 300-ohm input termi- nal screws.

b.Connect the transformer’s 75-ohm out- put F-connector to the VCR’s VHF/UHF CATV IN input F-connector.

2.Connect the band splitter’s 75-ohm input cable to the VCR’s VHF/UHF CATV OUT ter- minals.

3.Connect the splitter’s VHF 75-ohm F-con- nector to your TV’s single VHF input F-con- nector.

4.Connect the splitter’s UHF 300-ohm gold wires to your TV’s double UHF input screw terminals.

Connecting Cable

You can connect the VCR to cable with or with- out a cable box, then connect it to the TV in one of these ways:

•To the TV’s audio/video input jacks (if it has A/V jacks) (see Page 14)

•To the TV’s single VHF/UHF F-connector (see Page 15)

•To the TV’s single VHF F-connector and UHF double screw terminals (see Page 15)

•Using an A/B switch so you can record a scrambled channel while you watch an unscrambled channel (see Page 16)

Any of these connections let you:

•Record and watch a channel you select with the VCR’s tuner.

•Watch a channel you select with the TV’s tuner.

•Record a channel you select with the VCR’s tuner while you watch another channel you select with the TV’s tuner.

If you use cable but do not have a cable box, and your TV can receive cable broad- casts:

•You can watch and record any unscram- bled channel.

•You cannot record scrambled channels.
