Connection: DVD/VCR + TV

1. Connect the signal (cable or antenna):
Note: Depending upon how you currently have your TV connected, you'll have to
disconnect the cable from your TV's Antenna Input jack (sometimes labeled CABLE/
ANTENNA) or your VCR's Input jack before you connect the cable as explained below.
Cable service: If you have cable service via a cable that comes out of the wall, connect the end of that
cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT jack on the DVD recorder.
Note: If you have a cable box, go to page 12 for connection instructions.
Off-air antenna: If you use an off-air antenna to get TV programming, connect the antenna's RF
coaxial cable to the RF IN jack on the DVD recorder.
2. Connect the DVD recorder to the TV
You need to connect cables from the DVD recorder's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's INPUT jacks in order to
see the content from the DVD recorder.
2a. Use the RF Coaxial cable that was packed with your DVD recorder, and connect one end to the
RF OUT jack on the DVD recorder. Connect the other end to the Cable/Antenna Input jack
on the back of your TV (sometimes labeled CABLE/ANTENNA). It is important to make this
connection so you can watch cable or antenna programs when the DVD recorder is off.
2b. Connect the audio cables.
A set of audio/video cables was packed with your DVD recorder. Connect the audio cables to
the AUDIO OUTPUT L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD
recorder, and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks on your TV (sometimes labeled AUDIO IN
L and R).
2c. Connect the video cable. The cables you use for the video determine the quality of the picture
you'll see on your TV when you're playing DVDs. For more information about cables and signal
quality, go to page 5. Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the back
of your DVD recorder, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).
S-VIDEO (not shown) If your TV has an S-Video jack, use an optional S-Video cable. Connect
one end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the back of the TV and the other end to
the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of the DVD recorder.
COMPONENT VIDEO Y, Pb, Pr (not shown) If your TV has Component Input Jacks (Y, Pb,
Pr), you can achieve even greater picture quality (DVD playback only) by connecting the DVD
recorder to the TV using these jacks (COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, Y, Pb, Pr on the DVD
recorder). For more explanation, go to page 5. Component Video cables not supplied with the
DVD recorder.
Notes:
If your TV is capable of progressive scan, connect the DVD recorder to the TV using the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and press the PSCAN button on the remote to toggle
between progressive scan and interlace.
3. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
