Connections
Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD/VCR Receiver. Use connections described on pages
11-14.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
Caution
Make sure the DVD/VCR Receiver is connected directly to
the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR AUDIO
OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection sys-
tem.
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of
television programs, videotapes, DVDs and other materials,
is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD/VCR Receiver
1. Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
TV.
2. 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 Receiver.
Tip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an 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
Receiver, 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 Receiver. Use the sup-
plied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD/VCR
Receiver’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
instruction below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD/VCR Receiver
operation.
To view or record a CATV channel
1 Tune the TV to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel (CH
3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD/VCR Receiver channel selector to the output
channel of the Cable Converter box using CH/TRK (v/V) or
number (0-9) of your DVD/VCR Receiver. (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 nec-
essary to do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel
Search) as indicated on page 18.
