Note
• For your safety and to avoid damage to the device, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the ANTENNA IN jack
before moving the unit.
• If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for digital TV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas
will be more effective than set-top versions.
• RF output 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 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.

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.
