If a converter is required connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the convert- er to the ANT IN on your DVD+VCR. This cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.

To view or record a 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 cable output channel. (Example: CH3)

3. Select a channel using the cable converter.

Notes:

• With this connection, you cannot record one program

while viewing another.

• If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not

necessary to do Auto Channel Set.

SETUP

FUNCTION OSD

The on-screen display can be turned on or off.

AUDIO MODE

The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback sys- tems, 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.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual sig- nals. 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 broad- casts, changing the display to mono may give clearer sound.

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.
