In this section, you will connect the DVD-VCR to your television and run Auto Setup, which automatically searches for channels and sets the player’s internal clock.

NOTES:

Advanced Connections are covered in Appendix A.

Even if you plan to use the S-Video or Component Video Outputs, you MUST connect the DVD-VCR to your television with

either the standard RF or the Line Out connection. This enables you to operate the DVD-VCR setup menus.

1 Connect Antenna/Cable to DVD-VCR

Connect the RF antenna cable from your indoor/outdoor antenna or

cable wall outlet to the IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the back panel of

the DVD-VCR.

2 Connect DVD-VCR to TV

Choose one of the following methods to connect the DVD-VCR to

your TV:

RF Connection

Connect the supplied RF antenna cable from the OUT (TO TV) jack

on the back panel of the DVD-VCR to your television’s Antenna

Input.

Line Connection

Connect an RCA-type audio/video cable (red, white, yellow) from

the LINE OUT jacks on the back panel of the DVD–VCR to your

television’s Line In jacks. Use red for right audio, white for left

audio, and yellow for video.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Line Connection if your

TV is equipped with RCA jacks.

3 Set DVD-VCR Output Channel

If you used the RF connection in Step 2, set the Channel switch on

the back panel of the DVD-VCR to 3 or 4, whichever is not an

active channel in your area.

The first time you connect your DVD-VCR, or after an extended power outage, you will be prompted to set the on-screen menu language and connect an Antenna or Cable. Then the DVD-VCR will run an Auto Setup procedure, where it will automatically search for all active channels and set the clock.

1Set the On-Screen Menu Language

Press 1, 2, or 3 to select English, French, or Spanish. To change the language at any other time, see page 17.

2Antenna/Cable Reminder

A message is displayed to remind you to connect an Antenna or Cable if you have not already done so. Press Enter to begin Auto Setup.

3Run Auto Setup

As soon as you press Enter, the screen at right will appear and the DVD-VCR will automatically perform the following steps:

Auto Channel Search — Automatically detects whether an antenna or cable is connected, then searches for all active channels in your area. If Auto Channel Search is unable to locate channels in your area, you can search and add channels manually; see pages 23-24.

Auto Clock Set — Sets the DVD-VCR’s internal clock. If Auto Clock Set is unable to find a channel to set the clock, you can set the clock manually; see page 18.

This procedure may take a few minutes to complete. When finished, the DVD-VCR will tune to the lowest channel found.
