HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUTA UDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS
If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD
player to your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not
included, Connect the audio and video oulputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF
Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked "TO TV") to the 75 ohm
coaxial antenna lerminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.
If your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna lerminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection,
remove that cable from your TV's amenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal
of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's anlenna
terminal as described above.
Note
• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's
antenna terminal through an P,F Modulator.
