As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be able to be played on the
unit.
Regional code of the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver
and DVDs
This DVD/CD/VCR Receiver is designed and
manufactured for playback of region “1” encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels of some DVDs
indicates which type of player can play those discs. This
unit can only play DVDs labelled “1” or “ALL”. If you try
to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional
Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVDs that
have no region code label may still be subject to area
restrictions and therefore not playable.

The main film content or accompanying feature content
or additional feature content, or music album.
Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling
you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)

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/CD/VCR Receiver 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.

Connections
ips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD/CD/VCR Receiver. Use 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.
Caution
Make sure the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver is connected directly
to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR
AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your
audio system.
Do not connect your DVD/CD/VCR Receiver via your VCR.

system.
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD/CD/VCR Receiver
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/CD/VCR
Receiver.
ip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)
(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN
jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the
DVD/CD/VCR Receiver, 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/CD/VCR Receiver. Use the
supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the
DVD/CD/VCR Receiver’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/CD/VCR Receiver
operation.
To view or record a CATV channel
1 Tune the TV to the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver output channel
(CH 3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver channel selector to the out-
put channel of the Cable Converter box using CH/TRK (v/V)
or number (0-9) of your DVD/CD/VCR Receiver. (Example:
CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at 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 do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel
Search) as indicated on page 18.

Connections (Continued)
Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords
by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,
adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If
the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted
and lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-
ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
volume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.
Speaker Positioning
For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,
center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
•Front Speakers
Based on your listening position, set up the speakers
at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an
interval between speakers of 45 degree.
• Center Speaker
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers
are same height. But normally place it above or below
the television as shown below.
• Rear Speakers
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right
behind the primary listening area. These speakers
recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for
surround playback. For best results, do not install the
rear speakers too far behind the listening position,
install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.
It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards
a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is
near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite
each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm
above the listener’s ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

zontal as possible.
Accessory Audio/Video (A/V)
Connections to DVD/CD/VCR
Receiver
Connect the VCR IN LINE1 or LINE2 jacks on the
DVD/CD/VCR Receiver to the audio/video out jacks on
your accessory component, using optional audio/video
cables.
Digital Device Connections
Connect the DIGITALAUDIO IN (OPTICAL) jacks on
the DVD/CD/VCR Receiver to the digital audio out (optical) jacks on your digital device (DVD Player, Game
device, etc.), using optional optical audio cable.
To select source of DVD/CD/VCR Receiver to OPTICAL
