Insignia NS-FSDVDR DVD recorder
Connecting your TV with an RF modulator
If your TV does not have A/V, S-Video, or
component jacks, you can connect your TV
using an RF modulator (not supplied). Your
recorder does not have a built-in RF modulator.
Note
This connection provides the poorest picture
quality of the connections shown in this guide. If
your TV has A/V input jacks, see "Connecting to
your TV using composite cables (basic
connection)" on page 10.
Note
The method you use to connect your TV depends
on the type of jacks your TV has.
To connect your recorder to your TV using
an RF modulator:
1 Disconnect the 75 ohm antenna cable from
the back of your TV.
2 Connect the 75 ohm antenna cable from the
antenna wall outlet to the ANTENNA IN jack
on your recorder. If the antenna input jack of
your TV is already being used, disconnect
the RF cable from your TV.
3 Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on your
recorder to the RF modulator (usually
marked ANT IN) using a 75 ohm RF cable.
4 Connect the RF modulator to your TV using
another 75 ohm RF cable.
5 Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks on
your recorder to the AUDIO/VIDEO input
jacks of your RF modulator using
Audio/Video cables.
6 Set the RF modulator's channel 3/4 switch to
either 3 or 4, whichever TV channel is least
used in your area. If the RF modulator has a
modulator/antenna switch, set it according to
the RF modulator's manual.
7 Turn on your TV and switch it to the same
channel as you set on the RF modulator
(3 or 4).
For more details, follow the instructions supplied
with the RF modulator.
