Guide
Your TV determines which type of video con-
nection you can make with the DVD Digital
Home Cinema System.
If your TV has a single Antenna In
jack, you need an RF Modulator to
view DVDs on your TV.
The RF Modulator converts the Video signal
from the System so it can play through the
TV’s Antenna In jack.
See your electronics retailer or contact
Magnavox for RF Modulator availability.
If your TV has S-Video or
Component (PbPrY) jacks,
connect the System using one of
these for a higher quality connec-
tion. See the Owner’s Manual for
details.
