Connections
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.
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.
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.
