HOOKUP AND
SETTINGS
Connections to your TV
Connections to your TV
• Make one of the following connections, depending
on the capabilities of your TV.
• One of these connections must be made (or HDMI)
in order to view DVD/VHS playback, Tuner, or On
Screen Menu functions."
RF coaxial connection
Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on the Recorder to
the antenna in jack on the TV using the supplied 75-
ohm Coaxial Cable (R). This connection will only
include the same signal as the Antenna In jack.
DVD/VHS playback or Tuner output is not possible
from this connection. Please see Video connection,
S-Video connection, Component Video connection, or
HDMI connection sections. Also see the Audio con-
nection section.
Video connection
Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the Recorder
to the video in jack on the TV using the video cable
supplied (V).
Note:
If you use this connection, set the TV’s source selector to
VIDEO. You must make this connection to view DVD or
VCR playback, and to watch channels being recorded from
the built in Tuner.
S-Video connection
Connect the S-VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the Recorder
to the S-Video in jack on the TV using the optional
S-Video cable (S).
Component Video connection
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the Recorder’s
progressive scan output for the highest video resolu-
tion possible.
Connect the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks on the
Recorder to the corresponding in jacks on the TV
using an optional Y PB PR cable (C).
Notes:
• Set the resolution to 480p using OUTPUT STATUS but-
ton on the front panel for progressive signal.
• Progressive Scan does not work with the RF, Video or
S-Video connections.
• If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format,
the picture will appear scrambled.
Audio connection
Connect the Left and Right AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on
the Recorder to the audio left/right in jacks on the TV
using the supplied audio cables (A1 or A2).
TV connection with RF Converter (Modulator)
If your TV does not have A/V Input jack but only
Antenna Input jack, you must use the RF Converter
as below.
