Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-13.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See
Optional, Preferred TV Connections on pages 12-13.
Caution
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD
image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD+VCR
11
Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
TV.
22
Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is
a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial
antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to
the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.
Tip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm)
(not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the ANT.IN
jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the DVD+VCR,
it just slips over the jack.
Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach
it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round
coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT
jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this
connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and
hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the
instruction below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channel
1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of
the Cable Converter box by using the CH/TRK (v/V) or
number (0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
Notes
With this connection, you CANNOT record one program
while viewing another.

FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or
off.
Use b/B to switch the FUNCTION OSD ON or OFF.
AUDIO MODE
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the
high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono
system. The same audio is generally recorded on both
systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and
right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural
sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can
be played on a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and
NORMAL using b/B.
BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display
to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals
are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the
DVD+VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving
mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For
normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when
available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT
IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the display to mono may give clearer sound.
BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO,
SAP, and MONO using b/B.
AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is
in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.
This display setting should normally be left in the stereo position, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will
be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched between STEREO, LEFT,
and RIGHT using b/B.

recorded on the MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG mode as
indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is

without any further processing.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
The DVD format provides program soundtracks as
accurately as possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you
to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing
clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to “On” only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.
OTHERS
The Auto Play setting can be changed.

MP3/WMA Recording Notes
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the disc.
About WMA (Windows Media Audio)
A WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.
WMA offers approximately twice the audio compression of the MP3 format.
MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is
limited as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / 8 - 48 kHz (MP3),
22 - 48kHz (WMA).
2. Bit rate / 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 40 - 192kbps (WMA).
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”.
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “EasyCD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the
first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st
track, it cannot play back MP3/WMA files. If you
wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data
in the disc or use a new one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension
e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.
7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
8. Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 999.
This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission must
be required in order to download MP3/WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG
files, it may take awhile for the DVD+VCR to read the
disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-screen display
after several minutes, some of the files are too big —
reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than
3760x3840 pixels and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 999.
Some discs may be incompatible due to different
recording formats or the condition of the disc.
When you are using software such as “Easy CD
Creator” to burn the JPEG files onto the CD-R,
ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please
rename them as “.jpg” files.
File names without the “.jpg” extension will not be rec-
ognized by this DVD+VCR, even though the files are
shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer.
