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 (depending 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 other heat
sources. Do not leave the disc 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 outward.
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 the capabilities of your TV and other equipment, there are a variety of ways to connect the DVD+VCR.
Choose from the connections described on pages 11-14.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections for your specific equipment.
Caution
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to your TV,
and that your TV is tuned 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 from the rear of your 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 your TV. With this
connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and
hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter box is required with your cable system, refer to
the notes and illustration below. The cable hookup shown permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channels:
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 pressing the CH/TRK (v/V) or
number (0-9) buttons on your DVD+VCR (e.g., CH3).
3 Select the channel you wish to view on the cable converter
box.
otes
With this connection, you CANNOT record one program
while viewing another.
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-
essary to run Auto Channel Search as indicated on page 20.

Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker
cables by matching the colors of the terminals to those
of the cables. To obtain the best possible surround
sound, fine tune your system by adjusting the various
speaker settings (levels, delays, etc.).
ote
Be sure to match the speaker cables to the appropri-
ate terminals: + to + and – to –. If the cables are
reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-
ings, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
volume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers of the supplied
speakers.
Speaker Positioning
Follow these guidelines to position the six supplied
speakers (two front speakers, center speaker, two rear
speakers and subwoofer).
If you want to hear deeper bass, DTS digital surround
and/or Dolby Digital surround, consider adding an active
subwoofer with built-in amplifier.
• Front speakers
The front speakers should be placed at equal distances from your primary listening position. The
speakers should be placed 45 degrees apart relative
to the listening position.
• Center speaker
Ideally the center speaker should be placed at the
same height as the front speakers and at the same
distance from your primary listening area.
• Rear speakers
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right
behind the primary listening area. For best results, do
not position the rear speakers too far behind the listening position. Place them at or above ear level. It is
also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a
wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
If the listening area is in a small room against a rear
wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 2-3
feet above the listener’s ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

no sound at all.
The Optical input function is available only when the
external unit’s sampling frequency is 32-48kHz.
