If your TV has AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks, see the section “Connections” on pages 13–15. If not, it is still possible to con- nect this unit to your TV by using a STEREO AUDIO/VIDEO RF Modulator (commercially available.) In this case, follow the instructions below.

1) The antenna input jack of your TV may have been already occupied. If so, disconnect the RF cable from your TV, and then connect the RF cable to the ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.

2) Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of this unit to your RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”) by the RF cable.

3) Connect your RF modulator to your TV by another RF cable.

4) Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks of this unit to the AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks of your RF Modulator by audio and video cables.

5) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever the TV channel is least used in your area. If your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it according to your RF modulator’s manual.

6) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to. For more details, follow the instructions supplied with the RF Modulator.
