Package contents • RF Modulator • User’s Guide Features • Equips your TV with A/V inputs • Converts any A/V signal into coaxial cable output Connect the Modulator You need the following parts (not supplied) to connect your modulator to a video input source and your TV: • One A/V shielded cable. If your video source’s audio output is stereo, use an A/V cable with three phono connectors at each end. If your video source’s audio output is mono, use an A/V cable with two phono connectors at each end. • Two 75-ohm coaxial cables with F-type connectors. • One 75-ohm-to-300-ohm matching transformer (only if your TV does not have a VHF 75-ohm terminal). • One S-Video cable (only if your video source has an S-Video jack). - Page 3 Rear View Channel 3/4 Switch S-Video Cable or A/V Cable To Stereo Video Use a stereo A/V cable to connect your modulator to a stereo video source. Connect one end of the cable to the modulator’s VIDEO (yellow) and L/R AUDIO (white/red) jacks. Connect the cable’s other end to your video source’s video and audio output jacks. To Mono Video Use an A/V cable to connect your modulator to a mono video source. Connect one end of the cable to the modulator’s VIDEO (yellow) and AUDIO (white) jacks. Connect the cable’s other ends to your video source’s video and audio jacks. To S-video If your video source has an S-Video jack, use an S-Video cable to connect the modulator’s S-VIDEO jack to your video source’s S-Video jack. If your video source is connected to both the modulator’s VIDEO and S-VIDEO jacks, the modulator uses S-video.
- Page 4 To TV If your TV is already connected to a VHF input source (cable, antenna, etc.), disconnect the VHF input source from your TV, and connect its cable to the modulator’s ANT IN terminal. Then, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the modulator’s TO TV terminal to your TV’s 75-ohm VHF/UHF terminal. If your TV is not already connected to a VHF source, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable to the modulator’s TO TV terminal to your TV’s 75-ohm VHF/UHF terminal. If your TV has 300-ohm VHF screw terminals, use a 75-ohm-to-300-ohm matching transformer to complete this connection. When connections are complete, plug the modulator into a standard AC outlet. Use your Modulator 1. Turn on your TV and turn it to Channel 3 or 4 (the one not used for regular broadcasts in your area).
