Connect Your TV Signal to the Card's RF Tuner Input
The Digital VCR needs to have your television signal connected to its video input jack to
enable viewing and recording of live TV signals. Depending on the type of equipment you
have, you will need to connect one or more cables from the equipment's video and/or audio
outputs to the Digital VCR card.
The Digital VCR card has two video input connectors— a coaxial connector and a dual-pur-
pose S-Video/Composite Video connector that is switched by the software. (Refer to Diagram 1
above for connection locations.)
The picture quality of the S-Video signal is superior to that of the composite video output on
most devices that offer both types of signals. If your cable box or other receiver offers an S-
Video output, use it instead of the composite video output. When using S-Video/composite
you'll also need to connect the audio signal with a separate cable.
