Helpful Hints

You only need to make one video connection to your TV in order to view the DVD playback.
If your TV has only a single Antenna In jack, you will need an accessory RF modulator.
The RF modulator converts the video from the DVD system so it can play through the TV's
Antenna connector. Refer to your owner's manual for proper connection.
