Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   On the back of the PLAYER look for a threaded connector that is labeled either "Antenna Out"
   
   "RF Out"
   
   or "Coax(ial) Out" and either screw or push on one end of the coax to this port.
   
   Connect the other end of the cable to the "Antenna In"
   
   "RF In"
   
   or "Coax-In" port on the rear of the RECORDER unit.
   
   Using the second length of coaxial cable, connect one end to the Antenna/RF/Coax output on the rear of the RECORDER and the other end to the Antenna/RF/Coax input port on the rear of the television or monitor. , You can also just shut the monitor/TV off and simply wait out the transfer
   - the monitor is mainly to check progress and review the quality of the recording. , The yellow cable end is ALWAYS the video input/output and the red and white are ALWAYS the audio inputs/outputs.
