This DVD/VCR has a single 75 ohm output for connection to a
TV. If your TV has separate VHF and UHF antenna inputs (num-
bers 2 and 3 below), use a splitter to connect the DVD/VCR to
the TV for VHF and UHF reception.
Antenna to DVD/VCR connection
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 sys-
tem to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are
using and follow the connection diagram.
DVD/VCR to TV connection
After you have connected the antenna to the DVD/VCR, you
must connect the DVD/VCR to the TV.
Below are 3 common methods of connecting your DVD/VCR
to a TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the con-
nection diagram.
Example 1: Combination VHF/UHF antenna with 75 ohm
coaxial cable
Example 2: Combination VHF/UHF antenna with 300 ohm
twin lead (flat) wire
Example 3: Separate VHF and UHF antennas
NOTE:
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.
NOTES:
•
A clear picture will not be obtained by the main unit unless
the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the
main unit 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.
