Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna terminal as described above. Note ¡The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator. ­ 13 ­ EN 1L25 PLAYING A DISC PLAYING A DVD VIDEO OR AN AUDIO CD DVD-V Getting started Turn on the power of the TV, amplifier and any other components which are connected to the DVD player.
