• Connect the unit directly to a TV or a monitor without routing
through a video cassette recorder (VCR) or an HDD/DVD recorder.
Otherwise, picture distortion may occur during playback. Connecting
an integrated TV/VCR system to the unit may also interfere with your
viewing.
• For cathode-ray tube television (CRT): The speakers of the unit are not
magnetically shielded. If the unit has been installed near the TV, keep
the unit away from TV. Otherwise, color distortion may occur on the
TV.
Preparing FM antenna
Extend the FM antenna so that you can obtain the best reception.
• If the unit or antenna is located near the window, you may be able to
obtain the best reception since the unit can receive sufficient signal.
• Make sure the antenna conductor does not touch any other terminals,
connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antenna away
from metallic parts of the unit, connecting cords, and the AC power
cord. Otherwise, it could cause poor reception.
Connecting a TV (only when viewing the
picture/video on the TV)
You can view the picture/video played back by this unit (except the still
pictures of iPod) on the TV or monitor connected to the unit. Connect
the video input jack of the TV to the VIDEO OUT jack of the unit with the
video cord (supplied).
• The unit does not export some of the setting menu screens such as
LCD, clock, and timer setups from the video output. It does not export
any signals when an analog audio source is played back.
• To change the aspect ratio for the picture output to the TV, refer to
page 20.
• To change the TV system between NTSC and PAL, refer to page 20.
