Connecting the antenna cables

These connections enable you to watch and record TV programs using the recorder. If the antenna signal is connected via a VCR, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver, ensure that these devices are turned on in order to watch or record the cable programs.

If your TV is equipped with an Antenna In (RF IN) jack only,

See “Step 2 : Optional Connections – TV has only an antenna input jack” for the complete connection to your TV.

If you want to connect to a VCR and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver,

See “Step 2 : Optional Connections” for the complete connections to your TV.

A Connect the existing Antenna/Cable TV signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the ANTENNA-IN jack on the recorder.

B Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to connect the TV-OUT jack on the recorder to the antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

Helpful Hint:

Depending on how you have currently connected your TV channel (directly from an off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you will have to disconnect some of the cables before you make the above connection.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
