For further instructions, please consult the owner's manual for your television. RCA (Composite) Standard Connection S-Video Connection Yellow Red White Black Red White TV Video Input S-Video cord (optional) TV Audio Input Yellow Red White Black Red White Connect the DVD video player with an optional S-Video cable if the TV has an S-video input. Do not connect the yellow video cable if using the S-Video cable. ! · Turn off power and unplug both units before connecting. · If you connect the DVD video player to a video cassette recorder (VCR), or TV/VCR combination, the playback picture will be distorted because all dvd players incorporate copyright protection circuitry by Macrovision. · If your TV only has a cable antenna connection and no video inputs to connect your TV to the DVD player, you will need to purchase an RF Modulator from your dealer (see page 12 for further details). AD - 1100w A P E X D I G I TA L 9 Connecting to a TV using a RF Modulator Many older televisions do not have the newer component-video, S-video, or RCA connections that allow you to optimize DVD technology. While it would be advised to purchase a newer television in order to take full advantage of the digital quality of DVD's, it is possible to connect an older television to a DVD player. This connection requires a device called an RF modulator. First, it is necessary to determine whether or not your TV needs a RF modulator. Look at the back of your TV. If you see three input connectors lined up in a row, in the colors of yellow, red, and white, then you will not need an RF modulator. If you see a connector labeled "S-video", then you will not need an RF modulator. If you do not have either of these connectors, then you will need to purchase an RF modulator from a home electronics retailer. Older televisions use a coaxial connection, which combines all of the video signal from an exterior source into a single line. This line is then translated by your TV into the picture you see. The RF modulator combines the output signals from the DVD player, or any other device, into the coaxial connection for use by your television. Below are written and pictorial instructions on the proper way to connect an RF modulator to your Apex DVD player and your TV. Connection 1 Connecting the TV to the DVD Note: All VCRs will distort the picture of a DVD player. This is NOT a malfunction of the DVD player or VCR. All DVD manufacturers are required to install macrovision copyright circuitry to prevent copying via VCR. This is what causes the distortion. 1) Connect the three-terminal composite video cable to the back of your Apex DVD player. This cable has three prongs, one each in yellow, red, and white. The yellow prong will go into the jack labeled "Video Out"; the white prong will go into the jack labeled "Front-L"; the red prong will go into the jack labeled "Front-R". 2) Connect the opposite end of the composite-video cable into the back of the RF modulator. Make sure to match up the colors correctly. 3) Connect a coaxial cable from the "Antenna Out" jack on the back of your VCR to the "Antenna" jack on the RF modulator. The coaxial cable is the onewire, metal-ended type that you screw onto the VCR. 4) Connect a coaxial cable from the "To TV" jack on the RF modulator to the jack on the back of your TV. 5) Make sure your TV is set to the appropriate 10 A P E X D I G I TA L AD - 1100w Figure 1 DVD (Back) Your TV (Back) COAXIAL AUDIO OUT L 1 (L) (R) UHF/Antenna IN Coaxial 2 VIDEO OUT R TV /Audio Input Conntection TV / Video Input Conntection (V) RF-Modulator L (L) R V (V) To TV Antenna (R) Your VCR (Back) UHF/Antenna OUT Coaxial channel before using your DVD player.
