Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heartshaped or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.

otes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. 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.

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.

ote on DTS-encoded CDs

When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise may be exhibited from the analog stereo output. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn down the volume before playing back such discs, adjust the volume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be connected to the digital output of the unit.

INTRODUCTION

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/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/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/VCR Receiver is connected directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.

Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD/VCR Receiver

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the 1 TV.

2a 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 Receiver.Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is

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/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/VCR Receiver. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD/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/VCR Receiver operation.

To view or record a CATV channel

1 Tune the TV to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel (CH

3 or 4).

2 Set the DVD/VCR Receiver channel selector to the output channel of the Cable Converter box using CH/TRK (v/V) or number (0-9) of your DVD/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 necessary to do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel Search) as indicated on page 18.

If you use this connection, tune the TV to the DVD/VCR Receiver’s RF output channel (CH 3 or 4).

How to set the DVD/VCR Receiver’s RF output channel

When the DVD/VCR Receiver is turned off, press and hold CH/PRESET (v/V) on the front panel for about five seconds to change the RF output channel (CH 03 or CH 04). “RF 03” or “RF 04” appears in the display window.

Progressive Scan (ColorStream® pro) connection

If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the DVD/VCR Receiver’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution possible.

If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on the DVD/VCR Receiver.

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 rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.

Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

Front Speaker

Center

Front Speaker

(Right)

Speaker

(Left)

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.
