    ∫75 ≠ coaxial cable
    The picture and sound signal from this unit does not go through the 
    75 ≠ coaxial cable to the television. Make sure you connect one of 
    the following terminals on this unit to the television: the AUDIO/
    VIDEO OUT terminal, the S-VIDEO OUT terminal or the 
    COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal. If the television has none of 
    these terminals, consult your local dealer.
    ≥Refer to page 9 if the antenna connector doesn’t match.Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder
    Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be affected 
    by copyright protection systems and the picture will not be shown 
    correctly on the television.
    ≥When connecting to a television with a built in VCR, connect to 
    the input terminals on the television side, not the VCR side.

    ∫Should I use the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal or 
    the RF OUT terminal?
    If your cable TV box has both AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminals and 
    RF OUT terminals, we recommend connecting the AUDIO/VIDEO 
    OUT terminal with the unit’s IN3 (L3) terminal. Using this 
    connection provides better picture quality.
