■

Method 2: Antenna +Cable box + DVD-VCR + TV: Cable box with many scrambled channels

■

Method 3: Antenna + DVD-VCR + Cable box +TV: Cable box with a few scrambled channels

- If you are using an off-air antenna that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, use an external antenna connector (300-75 ohm adaptor: not supplied) to connect the antenna to the DVD-VCR.

- If you have two separate antennas (one VHF and the other UHF), use a UHF/VHF combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops) to connect the antenna to the DVD-VCR.

- The RF OUT(TO TV) jack of this product sends signals received through the antenna and output Audio/Video signals.
