more effective than set-top versions.
• Antenna out is for tuner pass through only. DVD playback through the RF is not possible.
If your TV has antenna in jack only, it is still possible to connect this unit to your TV by using a commercially available
stereo audio/video RF modulator. In this case, follow the instructions below.
1) Disconnect the power cords of the devices from the AC outlet.
2) Make the connection as illustrated below.
3) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever the TV channel is least used in your area.
If your RF modulator has a modulator/antenna switch, set it according to the manual supplied with the RF
modulator.
4) Plug in the power cords of the devices to the AC outlet.
5) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to.

About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.
• When you record an analog TV program available in
second audio or stereo, you have to select either
“Stereo” or “SAP” in “General Setting” menu
beforehand. Refer to the following table to check an
appropriate setting.
