Radio Shack 16-830 - Manual (Page 33)

Standard TV
To connect the camcorder to a standard TV
(with only VHF and UHF terminals), you need an
RF adapter kit (CMC No. T16-RF71A, not sup-
plied). The RF adapter kit includes:
• RF converter
• 300-to 75-ohm matching transformer
• 75-ohm antenna cable
Cautions:
• Use only the recommended RF adapter kit
with this camcorder. You can order the kit
from your local Radio Shack store.
• The RF converter is a sealed unit. Do not
attempt to open or modify it.
• Do not damage or drop the RF converter or
subject it to mechanical vibration.
• Unplug the RF converter during lightning
storms.
Notes:
• You do not have to disconnect the RF con-
verter when you watch TV broadcasts. Sim-
ply set the TV’s tuner as usual.
• Unless your antenna is VHF-only (you
receive Channels 2-13 only), you also need
a band-splitter (such as Cat. No. 15-1252,
not supplied) to connect your camcorder to
separate TV VHF/UHF terminals.
1. Use a fingernail to pull down the cover on
the camcorder’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT/IN jack
compartment to open it.
Caution: The cover on the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT/IN jack compartment is attached to the
camcorder. Do not try to remove it.
2. Connect the RF converter’s plug to the
camcorder’s VIDEO , RF DC OUT , and AUDIO
jacks.
3. Set AV OUT/IN inside the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT/IN jack compartment to OUT .
4. Disconnect the VHF antenna/cable wire
from your TV and connect it to the RF con-
verter’s
IN FROM ANT jack:
• If the antenna/cable wire is the round,
75-ohm type, connect it directly to the
jack.
• If the antenna/cable wire is the flat, 300-
ohm type, use another 300- to 75-ohm
matching transformer (such as Cat. No.
15-1253, not supplied) to connect the
wire to the jack.
