equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of suffi cient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point with an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

INTRODUCTION
Your Video Converter (RF modulator) is designed to convert the
separate audio and video signals (from a DVD, video camera, or video
game, for example) into VHF TV signals that you can view on a TV set
equipped with only a 75 Ohm (F-type) input.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your modulator might cause TV or radio interference even when
operating properly. To determine whether your modulator is caus-
ing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your
modulator is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your RF Modulator away from the receiver
• Connecting your RF Modulator to an outlet on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires you stop
using your RF Modulator. Changes or modifi cations not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

CABLES REQUIRED TO CONNECT YOUR NEW RF MODULATOR
The following items (not supplied) are required to connect your RF
Modulator to a video input source and your TV.
• One audio/video cable with red, white, and yellow RCA connectors
(AV23216), or
• One audio cable with red and black RCA connectors (AV22607)
• One video cable with RCA connector (AV23319)
• One s-video cable (AV23244)
• Two 75 ohm coax cables with “F” type connectors (AV23217)
Note: The audio signal will be modulated to mono, whether the video
source is stereo or monaural.
Note: Enclosed 4 rubber feet can be attached to the product if you
want to use this RF modulator in a horizontal position.
Note to the CATV System Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention
to article 820-22 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifi es the cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point
of cable entry as practical.

CONNECTING YOUR RF MODULATOR
1. Using the audio/video cable, connect
the red and white RCA connectors to
the audio out from the VCR or DVD
matching red to red and white to
white.
2. Connect the yellow RCA connector to
the yellow video out from the VCR or
DVD.
3. Connect the other end of the au-
dio/video cable to the input of the RF
modulator, matching the red to red,
white to white and yellow to yellow.
4. Using one of the 75 ohm coax cables,
connect one end of the cable to the F
connector labeled out to TV. Connect
the other end of the 75 ohm coax
cable to the Ant In on the back of the
TV.
5. Plug in the RF modulator to a 120V
AC power outlet.

6
CONNECTING YOUR RF MODULATOR
USING THE S-VIDEO CONNECTOR
1. Using the audio cable connect the
red and white RCA connectors to the
audio out on the VCR or DVD, match-
ing red to red and white to white.
2. Using the s-video cable, connect
one end of the s-video cable to the
s-video port on the back of the VCR
or DVD.
3. Take the other end of the audio cable
and connect it to the audio In of the
RF modulator, matching red to red,
and black to white.
4. Take the other end of the s-video
cable and connect the s-video plug
into the s-video port on t he RF
modulator.
5. Using one of the 75 ohm coax cables,
connect one end of the cable to the F
connector labeled To TV. Connect the
other end of the 75 ohm coax cable
to the Ant In on the back of the TV.
6. Plug the RF modulator into a 120V AC
power outlet.

7
CONNECTING CATV, EXTERNAL
ANTENNA OR SATELLITE
CATV (without box, direct from CATV
wallplate:
1. Using the other 75 coax cable, con-
nect one end to the CATV wall plate.
2. Connect the other end of the cable
to the Ant In on the RF modulator.
3. Plug the RF Modulator’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.
CATV without box or satellite:

into a standard AC outlet.

8
If your video source is monaural:
1. Plug the connectors on one end of an
A/V cable into the video and audio in-
put jacks on the RF Modulator (using
the AUDIO L jack).
2. Plug the cable’s other ends into the
video and audio jacks on the video
source.
3. Connect the 75 ohm coaxial cables
to the RF Modulator following these
guidelines.
4. Plug the RF Modulator’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.
If your TV is already connected to
another VHF input source (such as
cable, an antenna, or a VCR, for
example):
1. Disconnect the VHF input source’s
75 ohm cable from the TV’s 75 ohm
VHF/UHF terminal, and reconnect it
to the RF Modulator’s Ant In terminal.
2. Connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable
between the To TV terminal on the RF
Modulator and the 75 ohm VHF/UHF
terminal on your TV.
3. Plug the RF Modulator’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.

9
If your TV is not already connected to
another VHF source:
1. Connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable be-
tween the To TV terminal on the RF
modulator and the 75 ohm VHF/UHF
terminal on your TV.
2. Plug the RF Modulator’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.
Note:
If your TV has only 300 ohm VHF
screw terminals, use a 75 ohm to 300
ohm matching transformer to complete
the connection.

10
OPERATION
1. Turn on the TV and set it to either
channel 3 or 4, whichever is not used
for regular broadcasts in your area.
2. Set the RF Modulator’s CHANNEL 3/4
switch to the same channel you set
the TV (3 or 4).

11
CARE
To enjoy your RF modulator for a long time:
• Keep the modulator dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the modulator only in normal temperature
environments.
• Handle the modulator gentle and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the modulator away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the modulator with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the modulator’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your modulator is not performing
as it should, take it to your local store for assistance.
