Purchasing an RF modulator can make the connection.
An RF modulator is a device that converts the separate audio and video signals to an RF signal (Ch 3 or Ch4).
These are inexpensive and can be purchased from electronic shops.
In the event that your TV doesn't offer separate Audio / Video inputs,the DVD recorder you're using needs to be connected to the TV via the Antenna input.
Some of Panasonic's DVD recorders now offer a built in RF modulator which allows a direct connection to the antenna input on your TV.
Before purchasing an RF modulator, please do this test.
* Connect your CATV cable / roof top antenna to the RF IN connection.
Connect a short cable to the TV Output (Out to TV) connection.
* Insert a DVD movie and press "play"
* Try watching both Ch 3 & 4.
* If you are able to see the movie playing, an RF modulator isn't needed.
* If you are unable to see the movie, the model DVD recorder you are using doesn't include the built in RF modulator.
In this case you need to purchase one.
