Simple operations for watching a TV program

Antennas

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the AVC System.

NOTE

• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.

1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

2.A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied).

•Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR and CATV Converter to your TV if you are in an area with good signal reception. This way you can view either TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the position of the VCR’s TV/VCR switch and you can enjoy stereo tape playback from a stereo VCR.

•If your VCR has an S-Video terminal, S-video connection is recommended.
