AV1 (TV) CONNECTION TO TV

If your TV has Scart sockets, you may connect your DVD/VCR’s AV1 (TV) scart socket to the Scart socket on the back of your TV. Please see the instruction manual for your TV.

AV2 (DECODER) CONNECTION FOR OTHER EXTERNAL DEVICES

The second Scart socket AV2 (DECODER) is designated for other external devices, e.g. decoder, another VCR, video camera and so on.

NOTE:

• If you want to connect a TV with Scart socket to your DVD/VCR, the TV must be connected to the DVD/VCR through AV1 (TV). A connection to AV2 (DECODER) will not function correctly.

EXTERNAL INPUT MODE

To receive the signal from an external input (decoder, video camera, another VCR etc.), connect to the AV2 (DECODER) socket, and press PROG (K or L) or enter “002” with the Number buttons to show “AV2” on the TV screen. (“L2” will appear on the DVD/VCR display panel.) If you use the AV1 (TV) socket, press PROG (K or L) or enter “001” with the Number buttons to appear “AV1” on the TV screen. (“L1” will appear on the DVD/VCR display panel.) If you use the front AUDIO/VIDEO In Jacks, press PROG (K or L) or enter “003” with Number buttons to show “AV3” on the TV screen.

NOTES

• If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

• If output Dolby Digital audio, connect to a Dolby Digital decoder, and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “BITSTREAM” for audio output in the setup mode. (See page 28.)

• If output DTS audio, connect to a DTS decoder, and set “DTS” to “BITSTREAM” for audio output in the setup mode. (See page 28.)

• If output MPEG audio, connect to a MPEG decoder, and set “MPEG” to “BITSTREAM” for audio output in the setup mode. (See page 28.)

• Unless connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder, or an MPEG decoder, set “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “MPEG” to “PCM”, and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (See page 28.)

• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.

English

Optical cable (not supplied)

• Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.

• Use a cable which is 3 m or shorter.

• Insert cable plugs firmly into the jacks when making connections.

• If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a jack.

NOTES

• S-Video output connector The video signals are divided into colour (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture. If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product’s S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

• If you use the Euro A/V (SCART) jack, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

• Connect the DVD/VCR directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• Be sure not to use both the Euro A/V (SCART) jack and component Video jacks for video output at the same time.

• When changing the VIDEO OUT setting (SCART or COMPONENT INTERLACE / COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE, connect to a VIDEO jack or an S-VIDEO jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to COMPONENT INTERLACE / COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE while the Euro A/V (SCART) jack is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output.

• When your TV conforms to RGB input signal, the Euro AV (scart) connection ensures you the best picture and audio quality. However if your TV does not confirm to RGB input signal, the S-VIDEO OUT and analog AUDIO OUT connection is better. (for DVD features only)

Selecting Progressive Scan (625p<576p> or Interlaced 625i<576i>) Playback

¡If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (625p<576p>), connect the TV to the Component Video Output jacks of

the DVD/VCR and set “VIDEO OUT” to “COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE” in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode. Refer to page 28 for instructions on changing the display setting.

¡If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “VIDEO OUT” to “COMPONENT INTERLACE”.

¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

What is Progressive Scanning?

¡Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution

than that of traditional (625i<576i>) television signals.

• The clock cannot be set automatically if you are not receiving a channel that carries a time signal in your area. In this case, set the clock manually.

• Once the auto clock setting is performed, the DVD/VCR will correct the current time by receiving PDC broadcasts whenever you turn off the DVD/VCR.

• The DVD/VCR will correct the current time automatically at 8:00, if the DVD/VCR’s power is turned off.

• Between 23:00~1:00, the AUTO CLOCK function does not work even if the DVD/VCR’s power is turned off.

TUNING

Tuning of broadcast channels not already preset in the DVD/VCR can be performed in two ways.

AUTOMATIC TUNING

• By “AUTOMATICALLY” tuning channels and placing them in sequential order in the DVD/VCR’s memory i.e. the first channel found will be memorised into the DVD/VCR’s channel position 1, the second channel found will be memorised into the DVD/VCR’s channel position 2 and so on.

•Execution of the “Automatic” tuning cancels all the preset channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend to use some of the pre-tuned channels. Use the “Manual” tuning function to tune in the additional channels you require.

MANUAL TUNING

• Each channel is tuned manually and individually. Follow the steps laid out in the “Manual Tuning” section.

Before you preset Channel ...
