Antenna Connections - Memorex MVD1311D User Manual

OUTDOOR VHF/UHF ANTENNA CONNECTION (ANTENNA NOT INCLUDED)
Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use. If using Cable or satellite, see the next page.
Combination VHF/UHF
Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable
or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from
combination VHF/UHF antenna to the
antenna jack.
OR
If your combination antenna has a 300
ohm twin-lead wire, use a 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (NOT SUPPLIED).
RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS
You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels. The size of the antenna you will need will depend on
how far away the television station broadcast antennas are from you. The further the distance, the larger the antenna you need. If you're
unsure of how far you are, you can go to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance
and the direction of the broadcast antennas. If you're fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit on top
of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna, you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna mast.
CONNECTION USING THE FRONT AUDIO/VIDEO IN JACKS
The optimal use for the front A/V jacks are
to connect an A/V component that is used
only occasionally, such as a camcorder or
video game. Connect the Audio/Video
output jacks of the external unit to the
Audio Input jacks and the Video Input jack.
To access the unit connected to these
jacks, press the TV/AV button (on the
remote) or TV/AV/DVD button (on the main
unit) repeatedly until AV2 appears on the
screen. To resume normal TV viewing,
simply press the TV/AV button (on the
remote) or TV/AV/DVD button (on the main
unit) repeatedly until the TV channel
appears again.
FAQs:
My external unit has only 1 audio jack, but this unit has two Audio Input jacks, how do I connect it?
Simply connect it to the "L (Mono)" Audio Input jack, but the sound will be monaural.
How do I watch the external unit connected to the Audio/Video Input jacks?
Press the TV/AV button (on the remote) or TV/AV/DVD button (on the main unit) repeatedly until AV2 appears on the
screen, then start the external source.
Are the cables included?
No, the cables are sold separately, visit your local electronics store.
