Note that neither CA modules nor smart cards are supplied
or sold by Pioneer.

Connecting a TV antenna

This recorder has separate built-in TV tuners for
terrestrial digital and terrestrial analog TV broadcasts.
If you are ready to receive digital broadcasts now, use the
longer of the supplied RF antenna cables to connect the
output of your antenna to the ANTENNA (DIGITAL) IN
connector. Next use the short supplied RF antenna cable
and connect it between the ANTENNA (DIGITAL) OUT
and ANTENNA IN (RF IN) connectors. Lastly, connect the
recorder to your TV from the ANTENNA OUT connector.

We strongly recommend using an outdoor antenna for
better broadcast picture quality.
If, however, you want to use an indoor antenna, use one
with a signal amplifier rated at 5 V, 30 mA and set Aerial
Power to On in the Initial Setup menu (see page 130).
