consumer electronics retailers.

VIDEO jack. Connect the other end of the cable to the VIDEO IN jack on the RF
modulator. The VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator is usually yellow and might be labelled
VIDEO, CVBS, COMPOSITE, or BASEBAND.

Connect the supplied audio cable (which has white and red markings) to the
Player's Audio L/R (left and right) jacks.
Connect the other ends of the audio cable to the AUDIO IN jacks on the RF
modulator. Audio jacks on the RF modulator usually are red (right) and white (left). Match the
cable colors to the jack colors.

ANTENNA IN jack on your RF modulator.

TV jack on the RF modulator. The RF OUT jack may be labelled differently among different
brands. Refer to the instructions provided with your RF modulator.
Connect the other end of the same RF coaxial cable to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN
jack on your Television.

Your RF Modulator should have a Channel 3/4 switch.The setting of this switch determines the
TV channel on which you will watch materials playing on the DVD Player.

least used in your area. If your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it
accordingly. Refer to the instructions that came with the RF Modulator.
Turn on your TV and choose channel 3 or 4. Choose the same channel to which you set
the RF Modulator's Channel 3/4 switch. Make sure the RF Modulator is on.
