Antenna connections

If you are using an antenna system, follow these instructions. If you are a cable (CATV) subscriber, skip ahead to page 16 for the proper connections.

Antenna to DVD/VCR connection

The DVD/VCR must be connected “between” the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an antenna system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram.

1

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 75 ohm Coaxial Cable

 

 

DVD/VCR

DVD/VCR

 

Matching Transformer 300 ohm Input 75

IN

3

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

 

DVD/VCR

 

 

 

 

Combiner 75/300 ohm Inputs 75 ohm output

OUT

 

 

 

 

(TV)

 

 

75 ohm Coaxial Cable

 

 

Note: If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300 ohm inputs and one 75 ohm output.

Notes: • A clear picture will not be obtained by the DVD/VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the DVD/VCR properly.

For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor type antenna is required.

If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.
