An outdoor aerial

An indoor aerial

A cable television network

A satellite receiver

Make sure that both the television and the DVD-VCR are switched off before connecting the cables.

1Remove the aerial or network input cable from the television.

2Connect this cable to the 75Ω coaxial socket marked(FROM ANT.) on the rear of your DVD-VCR.

3Plug the coaxial cable supplied into the socket marked(TO TV) on your DVD-VCR.

4Plug the other end of the coaxial cable into the connector previously used for the aerial on the television.

5To obtain better quality pictures and sound on your television, you can also connect your DVD-VCR to the television via the RCA cable (see section below) if your television is equipped with this type of connection.
