14 US Basic hookups
Step 3 : Basic hookups
This section explains the basic hookups for connecting to the TV and the connection to record
from a connected equipment. Be sure to connect the power cord only after all connections are
complete.
Before you get started
This DVD-VCR does not have a TV tuner. To record TV programs, connect this unit
to the cable box or satellite receiver with audio/video outputs (page 16).
If you have been using your VCR connected to an antenna, connect this DVD-VCR
to your VCR using an audio/video cord. In this way, you will be able to watch and
record TV programs.
The DVD-VCR cannot record programs if you have:
– a cable box without audio/video outputs.
– cable with no cable box.
– antenna only (no cable TV).
In this case, consult your contracted (or nearest) CATV provider.
Notes
• You cannot connect your DVD-VCR to a TV that does not have a video input jack.
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.
• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture
distortion.
