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

Disconnect the antenna from the rear of your TV.

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).

SYSTEM SETUP

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.

Mini Glossary for Sound Mode

Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources, such as DVDs and CDs, bearing the DTS trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio (i.e., identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources. If you play DVDs with the “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall.

When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large

concert hall.

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a movie theater.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes:

PROLOGIC Emulation mode:

The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more “as it used to be.” When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no “Pro Logic I” mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.

VIRTUAL mode:

The Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However, there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers, Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only “Pro Logic II” so the Virtual name can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO)

Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control.

SYSTEM SETUP

Amplifier Setup (Continued)

Sound Mode

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

Each time you press the SOUND EFFECT button, the sound mode is changed in the following order:

PROLOGIC → HALL 1 → HALL 2 → THEATER

ote

For DVDs, you can only select sound modes when the

PCM indicator is shown on the front panel display.

Each time you press the button, the Pro Logic II sound mode is changed in the following order:

PROLOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → VIRTUAL → MATRIX

Tip

You can quickly select SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO) mode by pressing the BY PASS button.

When DVD is inserted:

You can change the sound mode of a DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback. Although DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

Each time you press the AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is changed in the following order:

Press LEVEL.

The level indicator appears on the front panel display.

Press bb/BBto select the desired speaker.

Press the b/B buttons to select each speaker in the following order:

FL (Front Left) → C (Center) → FR (Front Right) → SR (Surround Right) → SL (Surround Left) → SW (Subwoofer) → FL (Front Left)

• In 2-channel stereo mode, you can only select the SW (Subwoofer).

Press vv/VVto adjust the sound level of the selected channel (-6dB - +6dB).

Repeat steps 2-3 and adjust the sound level for the other channels.

When settings are complete, press LEVEL.

Test Tone

This function allows you to adjust the sound balance of the speakers relative to the listening position.

Select test tone mode by pressing the TEST TONE button.

•Ahissing noise is output for 2 seconds from each speaker in the following order: FL (Front Left) → C (Center) → FR (Front Right) → SR (Surround Right) → SL (Surround Left) → SW (Subwoofer) → FL (Front Left)

Press LEVEL then press the vv/VVbuttons to adjust sound levels for each speaker.

• The sound levels should be balanced while seated in the primary listening position.

• If you adjust sound levels during test tone mode, the test tone will be paused in the active speaker channel.

When setting is complete, press TEST TONE.

Amplifier Setup (Continued)

Setting Delays

In Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode, it is assumed that the distance from the listener to each of the five speakers is equal. If your center and rear speakers are closer than the front speakers, you can set delays so that sound from these speakers will be heard simultaneously at your primary listening position.

In Dolby Digital mode

Center delay time : 0ms Rear delay time: 5ms

In Dolby Pro Logic mode

Center delay time : cannot be set Rear delay time : 0-15ms

If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, the delay time will be automatically set in Dolby Pro Logic mode . The delay time is approximately 1 msec per foot. If the center and rear speakers are further than the front speakers from the listener, the delay time should be set to the minimum.

Surround delay time setting

If the distance from your rear speakers to the listener is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the Surround Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the calculation below.

For example, if the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from the rear speakers to the listener is 5 feet, the rear delay time would be 5 msec. 10 feet - 5 feet = 5 feet, or 5msec

In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time):

 PROLOGIC: 10 - 25msec  MOVIE: 10 - 25msec  MUSIC: 0 - 15msec  VIRTUAL: cannot be set  MATRIX: 0 - 15msec

Center delay time setting

(Dolby Digital mode only)

If the distance from your center speaker to the listener is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the Center Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the calculation below.

For example, if the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from the center speaker to the listener is 8 feet, the center delay time is 2msec. 10 feet - 8 feet = 2 feet, or 2msec

Setting the delay time in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode

Press DELAY.

The current surround delay time appears on the front panel display.

You can select center delay time by press

ing b/B in

the Dolby Digital mode only.

Press vv/VVto change the delay time.

If setting is complete, press DELAY.

otes

You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital mode when its delay time appears.

Center Width

(MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control allows center-channel sounds to be positioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presentation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step “0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step “7” places all center sound equally in the left/right speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

DIMENSE (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound forward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards the surrounds.

PANORAMA

(MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accentuated by the Panorama process.

VHS Hi-Fi Stereo System/ MTS Broadcast

The DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio sound system for recording and playback. The information below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and how to record and play a tape in Hi-Fi audio mode.

Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound

A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo audio system is required for true stereo playback. To experience the full and rich stereo sound available with Hi-Fi recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of this unit to a home stereo audio system.

Set the AUDIO MODE option to HI-FI in the VCR SETUP menu.

Set the AUDIO OUTPUT option to STEREO.

STEREO: The left channel sound (L) is heard from the left

speaker and the right channel sound (R) is heard from the right speaker. LEFT: The left channel sound (L) is heard from both speakers. RIGHT: The right channel sound (R) is heard from both speakers.

Insert a cassette and press PLAY (NN).

Adjust the volume on your stereo system.

Multi-Channel TV Sound (MTS)

The DVD+VCR will decode MTS stereo and bilingual (SAP) off-the-air broadcast sound signals. It also decodes stereo TV sound from local cable companies, as long as they operate on assigned cable frequencies and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilingual TV sound system.

MTS Indicator

Shows on-screen as illustrated below when SELECT/ENTER is pressed.



One or both of the indicators will light, depending on the MTS broadcast.

If only STEREO appears on the TV screen:

The DVD+VCR can record in stereo onto the VHS Hi-Fi audio tracks if the BROADCAST TYPE option is set to STEREO in the VCR Setup menu. The DVD+VCR will also record mono audio onto the mono audio track.

If only SAP appears on the TV screen:

Set the BROADCAST TYPE option to SAP.

If STEREO/SAP appears on the TV screen:

Use the BROADCAST TYPE option to select the desired recording mode (STEREO or SAP).

SAP (Second Audio Program) Recording

Some stations transmit a Second Audio Program, which is used for a second language or additional information. When the station broadcasts a Second Audio Program, follow the procedure below to record the SAP.

Insert a video cassette with the record safety tab intact.

Set BROADCAST TYPE to SAP in the VCR SETUP menu.

Do this only if SAP appears on the TV screen or you know the program will use SAP.

Set the desired recording speed (SP or EP) by pressing SP/EP.

Select the desired channel. SAP should appear on the TV screen.

Press REC/OTR (zz) once

You are now recording the program you see and hear on the TV.

Additional DVD Information

Screen Saver

A screen saver appears when you leave the DVD+VCR in stop mode for about five minutes. After the screen saver has been active for about five minutes, the DVD+VCR will power off automatically.

Video Mode Setting



With certain discs, the picture may flicker or you may see “dot crawl” along straight lines. This usually means that the unit’s vertical interpolation and/or deinterlace are not perfectly matched with the disc. If so, you may be able to improve picture quality by changing the video mode.



To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY for about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video mode number is displayed on the TV screen. Check whether the video quality has improved. If not, repeat the above procedure until picture quality is improved.



Video mode change sequence:

MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE4 → MODE5 → MODE1



If you turn off the power, the video mode will revert to its initial state (MODE1).

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3



MP3 files are audio data files compressed using MPEG1, the standard audio layer-3 file encoding scheme that compresses audio files up to 1/12 of their original size. Files with the “.mp3” file extension are referred to as “MP3 files”.



The player can only read MP3 files with the “.mp3” file extension. However, it cannot read fake MP3 files that have the “.mp3” file extension.

MP3 disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency: 44.1kHz only

2. Bit rate: from 32 - 320kbps

3. CD-R physical format: “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using encoding software that cannot create a file system (for example “DirectCD”), the disc cannot be played. “Easy-CD Creator” is recommended, as it creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there are no MP3 files in the first track, the disc cannot be played. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6. CD-RW discs are not recommended. Please use finished CD-R discs only.

7. File names must be 8 letters or less and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension; e.g., “song.mp3”.

8. Do not use special characters, such as “_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.

9. The total number of files on the disc should be less than 200.

10. Use 74-minute CD-R discs (650M). Do not use 80minute CD-R discs (700M).

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 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
