Step 3 : Basic hookups

This section explains the basic hookups for connecting to the TV and the connection to record from a connected equipment. Be sure to connect the power cord only after all connections are complete.

Before you get started

This DVD-VCR does not have a TV tuner. To record TV programs, connect this unit to the cable box or satellite receiver with audio/video outputs (page 16).

If you have been using your VCR connected to an antenna, connect this DVD-VCR to your VCR using an audio/video cord. In this way, you will be able to watch and record TV programs.

The DVD-VCR cannot record programs if you have:

–a cable box without audio/video outputs.

–cable with no cable box.

–antenna only (no cable TV).

In this case, consult your contracted (or nearest) CATV provider.

Notes

•You cannot connect your DVD-VCR to a TV that does not have a video input jack.

•Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.

•Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture distortion.
