PREPARATION Connections Tips z Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-14. z Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections. z For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR's DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD+VCR 1 Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the TV. 2 Identify the type of cable from your antenna.
