Basic Connections/Auto Setup

In this section, you will connect the DVD-VCR to your television
and run Auto Setup, which automatically searches for channels and
sets the player’s internal clock.

NOTES:

• Advanced Connections are covered in Appendix A.

• Even if you plan to use the S-Video or Component Video Outputs,

you MUST connect the DVD-VCR to your television with
either the standard RF or the Line Out connection. This
enables you to operate the DVD-VCR setup menus.

1 Connect Antenna/Cable to DVD-VCR

Connect the RF antenna cable from your indoor/outdoor antenna or
cable wall outlet to the IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the back panel of
the DVD-VCR.

2 Connect DVD-VCR to TV

Choose one of the following methods to connect the DVD-VCR to
your TV:

RF Connection

Connect the supplied RF antenna cable from the OUT (TO TV) jack
on the back panel of the DVD-VCR to your television’s Antenna
Input.
NOTE : Check the channel to connect DVD-VCR to your
television’s Antenna Input; See page 22.

Line Connection

Connect an RCA-type audio/video cable (red, white, yellow) from
the LINE OUT jacks on the back panel of the DVD–VCR to your
television’s Line In jacks. Use red for right audio, white for left
audio, and yellow for video.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Line Connection if your
TV is equipped with RCA jacks.

3 Plug In DVD-VCR

Connect the DVD-VCR power cord to a standard wall outlet. Don’t
press any buttons on the DVD-VCR or remote during auto setup.
“AUTO” blinks while the DVD-VCR runs an auto setup procedure,
where it will automatically search for all active channels and set the
clock. When Auto setting has been completed, the front panel
displays the current time. If Auto Clock set is unable to find a
channel to set the clock, you can set the clock manually; See page

18.

4 Turn On DVD-VCR

Press the POWER button on the remote control or on the
DVD–VCR’s front panel.

5 Turn On TV

Press the POWER button on your TV.

6 Set TV to Channel 3, 4 or Line

used the Line Connection, set your TV to its Line Input.
