AUDIO OUT (EXT 1/2) left and right jacks on the DVD Recorder

strand audio cable has red and white stripes on the cable ends. Match the

If “TURN ON TV” appears on the display panel, you need to turn on your
TV and set it to the correct Video In channel. (See next step.) This is part of
the Initial Setup of the DVD Recorder. You cannot see the Initial Setup
screens until you turn on the TV and have it on the right Video In channel.
6
Turn on the TV power. Set the TV to the correct Audio/Video In
channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,
AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc.
This is not
channel 3 or 4 as it might be when using a VCR. See your TV owner’s manual
for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel and change channels down until
you see the DVD background picture or Initial Setup screen on the TV
screen.
The Initial Setup screen will appear the first time you turn on the Recorder. Go to
page 16 to continue.
• On the TV, the Video In jack is
usually yellow and might be
labeled video, CVBS, composite,
or baseband.
• If you plan to watch your TV
with the DVD Recorder off, con-
nect the supplied RF coaxial
cable to the Recorder’s TV jack
and to the RF IN or ANTENNA
IN jack (75 ohm) on your tele-
vision. This lets you watch chan-
nels at the TV normally when
the DVD Recorder is off and
will improve the reception at
your TV.
