Connecting to a VCR
To use your VCR to connect a TView PresoCard to your
TV, first find the Comp. Video cable and S-Video cable.
Then connect either the Comp. Video cable or S-Video
cable from the TView PresoCard to a port on your VCR
labeled "Video Input" (also known as AUX IN, or AV IN -
it will probably be a yellow RCA/Phono type connector
on the back of your VCR). Now find the connector on your
VCR marked ANT Out, To TV,or RF Out. This port usual-
ly has a Cable-TV type cable screwed in, connecting it to
your TV. Next, tune your TV to channel 3 or 4, and turn
on your VCR. Find a button on the front of the VCR called
Line, TV/Video, Video Input, or similar and press it. If
your VCR does not have a button to specify Video In, try
to find an onscreen menuing system with your VCR's
remote control. Then confirm that your computer is
turned on and the Scan Converter has its power light lit.
RF Modulators
If you do not have a VCR with Comp. Video or S-Video,
you need a special adapter called an RF Modulator. This
device converts the Comp. Video signal from your TView
PresoCard to an Antenna Signal, which can then be tuned
in on your TV using Channel 3 or 4. FOCUS Technical
Support recommends the Radio Shack RF Modulator,
available under Radio Shack part number 15-1283.
