VIDEO RF modulator (commercially available). In this
case, follow the instructions below.
1) Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks of this unit to the
AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks of your RF modulator by
Audio / Video cables.
2) The antenna input jack of your TV may have been already
occupied. If so, disconnect the RF cable from your TV,
and then connect the RF cable to your RF modulator
(usually marked “ANT IN”).
3) Connect your RF modulator to your TV by another RF
cable.
4) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or

your RF modulator has a modulator/antenna switch, set it
according to your RF modulator’s manual.
5) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you
set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to. For more
details, follow the instructions supplied with the RF modulator.
