In addition, this unit plays DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW that contains audio titles, MP3, WMA, DivX and/or JPEG files.

This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording format.

Notes:

•Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

•Only plays if DVD-RW is recorded in Video mode and has been finalized.

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

•This DVD+VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

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.

a	Antenna	Antenna

To view or record a CATV channel

1Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the cable output channel. (Example: CH3)

3Select 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.
