Important

•This recorder is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this recorder to your TV via a VCR (or your VCR via this recorder) using AV cables, as the picture from this recorder will not appear properly on your TV.

1Connect your TV antenna/cable TV outlet to the VHF/UHF IN jack on this recorder.

2Use an RF antenna cable (one is supplied) to connect the VHF/UHF OUT jack on this recorder to the antenna input on your VCR.

•If you are not connecting a VCR in the chain, connect this recorder directly to your TV and skip the next step.

3Use an RF antenna cable to connect the antenna output on your VCR to the antenna input on your TV.

4Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks (1 or 2) to a set of audio/video inputs on your TV. Use the supplied three-pin audio/video cable. It is color- coded to help you match them up (red/white for the right/ left audio connections and yellow for video in/outs). Make sure you match up the left and right outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

5Connect your VCR to your TV (A/V IN 2 above) using a set of audio and video cables.

Note
