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 ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR. If your anten-
na cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm
antenna adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adap-
tor over the ANT.IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it
into to the DVD+VCR.

b

Cable TV:

If your cable connection has no converter or
descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and
attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. If a
converter is required connect a coaxial cable from
the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter,
and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on
the converter to the ANT IN on your DVD+VCR.
This cable hookup permits both TV and
DVD+VCR operation. 

To view or record a CATV channel when
using cable box

1. Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel 

(CH 3 or 4).

2. Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the

cable output channel. (Example: CH3)

3. Select a channel using the cable converter.

Notes:

With this connection, you cannot record one pro-
gram while viewing another.

If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is
not necessary to do Auto Channel Set.
