Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

Title (DVD only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

Track

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

Connecting an Antenna or Cable TV

a Antenna:

Disconnect the antenna from the rear of the TV and identify the antenna cable. If it is a round 75 ohm coaxial cable connect it directly to the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR. If your antenna cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adaptor over the ANT.IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into to the DVD+VCR.

b Cable TV:

If your cable connection has no converter or descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. 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 converter 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.
