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.
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
y
ou use cable but do not have a cable
box, and
y
our TV can receive cable broad-
casts:
• You can watch and record any unscram-
bled channel.
• You cannot record scrambled channels.
