Connecting to a Television without Audio In and Video In Jacks

the VHF antenna lead is flat you need to purchase an antenna adapter (300-ohm to 75-

adapter on to the ANT IN terminal. 
3. Connect the 75-ohm coaxial cable of the RF output adapter to the VHF antenna 
terminals on the back of the television. If the television is set up to connect to a flat 
antenna lead you need to purchase antenna adapter (75-ohm to 300-ohm transformer). 
Connect the adapter to the 75-ohm coaxial cable of the RF output adapter and connect 
the free ends of the adapter to the VHF antenna terminals at the back of your television. 
4. Connect the RF output adapter cable to the AV IN/OUT jack of your camera/recorder.

Using Still 
To view a still picture during playback press the Start/Stop. Press the Start/Stop button 
again to resume playback. If you leave the camera/recorder in play/pause mode for 
more than 5 minutes the camera/recorder automatically stops the cassette to prevent 
damage to the tape. 
Note: When you engage play/pause mode the still picture will have some interference or 
noise. This is normal.
