Connecting Antenna/Cable
CONNECTIONS
1
Disconnect the antenna/cable from the rear of
your TV.
2
Connect this cable to the jack marked ANT IN
(FROM ANT.) on the rear panel of the DVD
Recorder.
Cable Service 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 (FROM ANT.) jack on the rear panel of the DVD Recorder.
Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect between the DVD Recorder’s OUT (TO TV) jack and the antenna input
jack on your TV. With this connection, you can receive
all midband, superband, and hyperband channels (all
cable channels).
Cable Service With Cable Box
If a cable box is required in your cable system, follow
the instructions shown at right. This hookup permits
both TV and DVD Recorder operation.
To view or record a CATV channel:
1
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
2
Set the DVD Recorder to the output channel of the
cable box using the [CH …/†] or the [0-9] buttons on your DVD Recorder (e.g., CH3).
3
Select the channel you wish to view on the cable box.
• There are a variety of ways to connect the DVD Recorder to your TV and other equipment. Use only one of the
connections described below. Whichever TV connection you use will work with all input sources.
• Please refer to the manuals for your TV, VCR, stereo system, or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
• For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo, or audio/video equipment. See ‘Connecting an Amplifier/Receiver‘ on page 13.
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not necessary to run Auto Channel Search as indicated on page 18.
Caution
• Make sure the DVD Recorder is connected directly to the TV, and the TV is set to the correct video input.
• Do not connect the DVD Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
• Do not connect the DVD Recorder via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
