Figure 1

Connecting the TV to the DVD through the VCR

Note: Many VCRs will distort the picture of a DVD

player.This is NOT a malfunction of the DVD player or VCR.All DVD manufacturers are required to install macrovision copyright ciruritry to prevent copying via VCR.This is what causes the distor tion.

1) Connect the three-terminal composite video cable to the back of your Apex DVD player.This cable has three prongs, one each in yellow, red, and white.The yellow prong will go into the jack labeled "Video Out"; the white prong will go into the jack labeled "Front-L";the red prong will go into the jack labeled "Front-R".

2) Connect the opposite end of the composite-video cable into the back of the RF modulator. Make sure to match up the colors correctly.

3) Connect a coaxial cable from the "Antenna Out" jack on the back of your VCR to the "Antenna" jack on the RF modulator.The coaxial cable is the onewire, metal-ended type that you screw onto the VCR.

4) Connect a coaxial cable from the "To TV" jack on the RF modulator to the jack on the back of your TV.

Many older televisions do not have the newer component-video, composite-video, or s-video connections that optimize DVD technology. While it would be advised to purchase a newer television in order to take full advantage of the digital quality of DVD’s, it is possible to connect an older television to a DVD player. This connection requires a device called an RF modulator.

First, it is necessary to ascer tain whether or not your TV needs a RF modulator. Look at the back of your TV. If you see three input connectors lined up in a row, in the colors of yellow, red, and white, then you will not need an RF modulator.If you see a connector labeled "s-video", then you will not need an RF modulator.If you do not have either of these connectors, then you will need to purchase an RF modulator from the store where you purchased your Apex Digital DVD player or other home electronics retailers.

Older televisions use a coaxial connection, which combines all of the video signal from an exterior source into a single line.This line is then translated by your TV into the picture you see.The RF modulator combines the output signals from the DVD player, or any other device, into the coaxial connection for use by your television.

Below are written and pictoral instructions on the proper way to connect an RF modulator to your Apex DVD player and your TV.

Note: Not all RF Modulators are compatible

with APEX Digital players. Please see our

website for recommendations.

5) Make sure your TV is set to the appropriate channel before using your DVD player.In most cases, this is channel 3 or 4.
