Connecting FM antenna
It is unnecessary to connect the FM pigtail
antenna since it is fixed to the main unit.
● Fully extend the FM antenna.
● Keep the FM antenna as horizontal as possible
(as far away as possible from the AC adapter,
VCR or other radiation sources).
● Fix the antenna’s end to the wall.
Connecting TV antenna/CATV
(cables not included)
● As shown, plug a TV antenna (for air channel)/
CATV cable (for cable channel) into TV ANT.
Connecting an additional
appliance
It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g.
VCR, video game player, with the set.
1 Connect one end of the AV cable (red/white/
yellow, not supplied) to AV IN jacks on the set,
red plug to AUDIO IN R , white plug to
AUDIO IN L, yellow plug to VIDEO IN.
2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the
corresponding AV OUT terminals of the
additional appliance.
Before starting operation, press TV/AV on the
remote control to select “AV” in order to
activate the input source.
Helpful hints:
– If the connected device has only a single audio
out terminal, connect it to the AUDIO IN L
terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to
double” cinch cable, but the output sound will
remain mono.
– Always refer to the owner’s manual of other
equipment for complete connection.
