Connections
Tips :
• Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you could connect
the VCR/DVD Recorder. Use only one of the connec-
tions described below.
• Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
• For better sound reproduction, connect the recorder’s
AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.
See “Connecting to Optional Equipment” on page 17.
Caution
• Make sure the VCR/DVD Recorder is connected
directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video
input channel.
• Do not connect the VCR/DVD Recorder’s AUDIO
OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your
audio system.
•Do not connect your VCR/DVD Recorder via your
VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
VCR/DVD Recorder
11
Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
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 ANT.IN on your Recorder.
Tip :
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm)
(not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the ANT.IN
jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the VCR/DVD
Recorder, 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 ANT.IN jack on the
VCR/DVD Recorder. Use the
supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the
VCR/DVD Recorder’s OUT TO TV jack and the 75 ohm anten-
na input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can receive
all midband, super band, and hyperband channels. (All cable
channels.)
Cable Service With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the
instruction below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR/DVD Recorder
operation.
To view or record a CATV channel
1

If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not
