Tips

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD+VCR. Use only one of the connections described
below.
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 your DVD+VCR via another VCR. The DVD
image could be distorted by the copy protection system. 

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD+VCR

11

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
TV.

22

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 connector marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.

Tip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-
ohm) (not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the
ANT.IN connector. The Adapter does not screw on to
the DVD+VCR, it just slips over the connector.

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 connector on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied
round coaxial cable to connect between the unit’s RF. OUT
connector and the 75 ohm antenna input connector on the TV.
With this connection, you can receive all channels.

With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the
instructions below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.

1
