Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 12-14.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See
Connecting to optional equipment
on page 14.
Caution
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD
image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

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.
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,
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. Use the supplied round
coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’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 operation.
