Figure 2-5: Connecting TView Micro XGA to the Television

When you are looking at the television to make these connections,
you may see an input labeled ANT IN. This input is used by cable TV
companies and uses a different type of video than that used by
TView Micro XGA. It is not possible to connect directly to this input. If
this is the only input available, and you do not have a VCR, this input
can be used with an RF modulator. See below for further information.

Note: Because the port may not be labeled, you will need to

match the port to the connector you are using.
