ANTENNA IN
If your TV has only a
single Antenna In jack,
you will need an accessory
RF modulator. The RF
modulator converts the video
from the DVD system so it can
play through the TV’s Antenna
connector. Refer to your
owner’s manual for proper
connection (refer to page 13).
Do not switch the P-SCAN to ‘ON’ position, unless you have
connected the DVD system to a Progressive Scan TV using the
Component (Pr Pb Y) video jacks.
