HELPFUL HINTS |
|
|
Your TV determines which type of video con- |
||||
nection you can make with the DVD Digital |
||||
Home Cinema System. |
|
|
||
|
If your TV has a single Antenna In |
|||
|
jack, you need an RF Modulator to |
|||
|
view DVDs on your TV. |
|
||
The RF Modulator converts the Video signal |
||||
from the System so it can play through the |
||||
TV’s Antenna In jack. |
|
|
||
See your electronics retailer or contact |
||||
Magnavox for RF Modulator availability. |
