Tips
"
Depending on your TV and other equipment, there are various
ways you could connect the DVD+VCR. Use connections
described on pages 11-13.
"
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 DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your ampli-
fier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See “Optional,
Preferred TV Connections” on pages 12-13.
Caution
"
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV. Tune
the TV to the correct video input channel.
"
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack
to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
"
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD image
could be distorted by the copy protection system.
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD+VCR
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 DVD+VCR.
Tip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect
it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied)
and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN jack. The Adaptor
does not screw on to the DVD+VCR, it just slips over the
jack.
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 DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round coaxial
cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT jack and the 75
ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can
receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the instruc-
tion below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channel
1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of the
Cable Converter box by using the CHANNEL (v/V)or number
(0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
Notes
"
With this connection, you CANNOT record one program while
viewing another.
"
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not necessary
to do Auto Channel Set as indicated on page 15.
