Cables Connections and explanation:

A VHF/UHF antenna is used to receive digital TV broadcasts. The input signal is split using a standard signal splitter. If splitting the signal causes problems with reception, then a signal booster may be required or another solution would be to use two antennas.

1. Connect a RF coaxial cable (RG-6) from each of the splitter Outs to the RF Input (ANT In) on each of the DTV converter boxes.

2. One Converter box will use RF Out and the other will use Audio/Video Outs. Connect RF coaxial cable from DTV box (Out to TV) to TV RF Ant Input. Connect the other DTV box A/V Out to the Audio/Video inputs on VCR.

3. VCR will use audio/video OUT to the TV audio/video inputs.





Why would you want this configuration?


o To view TV shows from digital TV broadcasts using analog TV.
o To record TV shows to VHS recorder.
o To watch one TV show while recording another on a VCR.
o Play recordings to TV.

What settings do you need for this configuration?
The TV, VHS recorder will need to be set to the proper input depending on your source. Select proper input source on the TV to watch VHS or broadcast TV.

Buttons such as LINE or VIDEO or AUX or INPUT SELECT or an actual channel such as 93 or 00 or 99 depending on your brand. Consult owner's manual here.


RF cable OUT from Converter box connects to the TV's Antenna INPUT. The converter box usually outputs on channel 3 or 4 via the RF coaxial connection. Select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to watch local digital TV stations.

When turned ON, the VCR will output on the three RCA cables to the TV. Set the TV to LINE input to view the VCR output. Use INPUT SELECT or VIDEO or AUX button on the TV remote control to select the proper input source.
