n The unit’s RF OUT terminal
The picture and sound signal from this unit does not go
through the RF OUT terminal to the television.
Make sure you connect one of the following terminals on this
unit to the television: the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal, the S
VIDEO OUT terminal or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
terminal.
• Refer to page 11 if the antenna connector doesn’t match.
n When the unit is not to be used for a long time
To save power, unplug it from the household AC outlet. This unit
consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off
(approx. 2.0 W
).
n Connect the unit directly to the television
Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be
affected by copyright protection systems and the picture will
not be shown correctly on the television.
The connection will allow the video cassette recorder to be used for playback and recording when this unit is turned off.
