Preparation
3 Connecting the aerial and external devices
·For further details, refer to the manuals provided with the devices you are connecting.
· Connecting cables are not supplied.
· The front and rear AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks are directly connected so that input to either jack
is output through both. You cannot provide input to both the front and rear jacks at the same
time. Disconnect one input, or use one of the jacks as an output jack only (for monitoring or
recording).
· The rod aerial is supplied with the AV-14A3/AV-14F3/AV-1435/AV-1438.
