a Antenna

Disconnect the antenna from the rear of the TV and
identify the antenna cable. If it is a round 75 ohm
coaxial cable connect it directly to the jack marked
ANTENNA IN on your Recorder. If your antenna
cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm anten-
na adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adaptor over
the ANTENNA IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into
to the Recorder.

b Cable TV (RF Connection):

If your cable connection requires a cable box use
option #2 from the hookup diagram. Use the cable
box to tune the channels and set the JVC tuner to
CH3 or CH4 depending on your cable box.

If your cable connection does not require a cable box
use option #1 from the hookup diagram. Attach the
cable from the wall to the ANTENNA IN jack on this
unit and then perform either the Initial Setup Wizard
or Auto Channel Set.

Alternatively, option #3 can also be used if you cable
box has A/V outputs. Use the cable box to tune the
channels and set the JVC to the AV1 input by press-
ing the AUX button of the JVC remote control.
