Before you begin, make sure you have an RF modulator and extra RF coaxial cables. These are not
supplied with the Player, but are available from Magnavox or most consumer electronics retailers.

Connect the supplied video cable (yellow) to the Players yellow VIDEO OUT jack and
to the VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator. The VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator is usu-
ally yellow and might be labelled VIDEO, CVBS, COMPOSITE, or BASEBAND.
2
Connect the supplied audio cable (red and white) to the Players red and white AUDIO
OUT (left and right) jacks. Connect the other ends of the audio cable to the AUDIO IN
jacks on the RF modulator. Audio jacks on the RF modulator usually are red (right) and white
(left). Match the cable colors to the jack colors.

You probably already have an Antenna or Cable TV signal connected to the ANTENNA IN jack on
your TV. Disconnect it now from the TV. Reconnect the Antenna or Cable TV signal to
the ANTENNA IN jack on your RF modulator.

Connect an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to the RF OUT, ANTENNA OUT, or TO
TV jack on the RF modulator. The RF OUT jack may be labelled differently among different
brands. Refer to the instructions provided with your RF modulator.
Connect the other end of the same RF coaxial cable to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN
jack on your Television.
5
Your RF Modulator should have a Channel 3/4 switch. The setting of this switch determines the TV
channel on which you will watch materials playing on the DVD Player.
Set the RF Modulators Channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever TV channel is
least used in your area. If your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it accordingly.
Refer to the instructions that came with the RF Modulator.
Turn on your TV and choose channel 3 or 4. Choose the same channel to which you set the
RF Modulators Channel 3/4 switch.
