Connections
ips
There are a variety of ways to connect the DVD
Recorder+VCR to your TV and other equipment.
Use only one of the connections described below.
Whichever TV connection you use will work with all
input sources.
Please refer to the manuals for your TV, VCR, stereo
system or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD
Recorder+VCR’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in
jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video
equipment. See “Connecting an Amplifier/Receiver”
on page 16.
Caution
– Make sure the DVD Recorder+VCR is connected
directly to the TV, and the TV is set to the correct
video input.
–
Do not connect the DVD Recorder+VCR’s AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio sys-
tem.
– Do not connect the DVD Recorder+VCR via your
VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy
protection system.
Connecting Antenna/Cable
11
Disconnect the antenna/cable from the rear of your
TV.
22
Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is
a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial
antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to
the jack marked RF IN (FROM ANT.) on the DVD
Recorder+VCR.
ip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adapter (not
supplied) and slip the adapter onto the RF IN (FROM
ANT.) jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the unit, it
just slips over the jack.
Cable Service Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach
it to the
RF IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the DVD Recorder+VCR.
Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect between the DVD
Recorder+VCR’s OUT (TO TV) jack and the 75 ohm antenna
input jack on your TV. With this connection, you can receive all
midband, superband, and hyperband channels (all cable chan-
nels).
Cable Service With Cable Box
If a cable box is required in your cable system, follow the
instructions shown below. This hookup permits both TV and
DVD Recorder+VCR operation.
To view or record a CATV channel:
1
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
2 Set the DVD Recorder+VCR to the output channel of the
cable box using the CH (v / V) or the 0-9 keys on your DVD
Recorder+VCR (e.g., CH3).
3 Select the channel you wish to view on the cable box.
ote
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not neces-
sary to run Auto Channel Set as indicated on page 18.
