Introduction 5

Welcome!

This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into one unit, letting you play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and Video Cassettes on one piece of equipment. Read this owner’s manual carefully to learn how to use the features listed below.

Package Contents

The following items are provided with your new DVD/VCR.

• Remote Control and two AA batteries

• One black RF coaxial cable, 75 ohm

• One set of Audio (red and white tips) and Video (yellow tips) cables

DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. Not all DVDs have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing DVD, then DISC/MENU on the remote control.

Details are on page 48.

DVD Player Setup Menu...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player’s Setup menu to set up features of the DVD Player or a DVD. Access the DVD Player menu by pressing SETUP on the remote control when playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set in the DVD Player’s menu, it may not be available if the current DVD does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the DVD/VCR to make it available. An “X” will appear in the top right corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not currently available.

6 Playable Discs and Video Cassettes

DVD Audio CD CD-RW/CD-R DVD+RW

Region Codes

This DVD/VCR has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the DVDPlayer. You cannot play DVDs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Player.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia. A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same region code.

Color Systems

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and North America), PAL, and SECAM. This DVD Player uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Playable Video Cassettes

The VCR of this DVD/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassettes that have the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs. The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).

Playable Discs

The DVD Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs); Audio Compact Discs (CDs); finalized Digital Video Discs Rewritable (DVD+RW); and finalized Compact Discs Rewritable (CD-RW) and Compact Discs Recordable (CD-R). To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD Player. Other Disc types are not guaranteed to play in the DVD/VCR.

Hookups 7

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture (video) and sound (audio) quality. You will not use all the jacks on the DVD/VCR.

If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In, RF In, or 75 ohm, use the ANTOUT jack of the DVD/VCR to connect to the TV. This hookup provides both audio and video in a single cable. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 - the output channel of the DVD/VCR. This connection allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features. Details are on page eight.

★★★★ If your television has Component Video In jacks(which also could be labelled Y Cr Cb, Y Pr Pb,

or YUV and may be green, blue, and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y CR CB) for the best picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available. To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its Component Video In channel. Details are on page 12.

★★★ If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-Video

jack for excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available. To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its S-Video In channel. Details are on

page 13.

★★ If your TV has a single yellow Video In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or

baseband), use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality. This connection provides a picture for both the DVD Player and the VCR. To see DVD or VCR features on the TV, set the TV to its Video In channel. Details are on page 11.

★★★ If you have a Stereo with a Coaxial Digital Audio In jack, this provides the clearest sound for the

DVD Player. Connect the DVD/VCR’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo for the best sound quality. If you use only this audio connection, only Disc sound (no VCR) will be available. Details are on page 15.

★★★★ If digital audio connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR’s red and white DVD/VCR

AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. This connection provides sound for both the DVD Player and the VCR. Details are on pages 11-14.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Cable Box, Stereo, or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks

and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on the TV, Stereo, etc.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after

you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,

AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or External In, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details. If you do not see the DVD or VCR playback on the TV, go to the lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you see the DVD or VCR picture on the TV. Or, if your TV has only a single Antenna In jack and you are using the RF coaxial cable (as described on page eight), set the TV to channel 3 or 4. To help you find the right Audio/Video In channel, turn on the DVD/VCR. Press DVD to put the DVD/VCR in DVD mode. With no Disc in the Player, a large DVD Video logo will appear on the TV screen when you get the TV on the correct Audio/Video In channel or channel 3 or 4.

● Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.

● Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables or adaptors.

● To use the VCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable

and red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-15. Follow the specific steps for the hookup you choose. After hooking up the DVD/VCR, go to page 17 to complete the first-time setup.

Disconnect the antenna or Cable TV signal from your TV and connect it to the ANT-IN (Antenna In) Jack of your DVD/VCR.

Connect the supplied black RF coaxial cable to the ANT-OUT (Antenna Out) Jack on the back of the DVD/VCR and to the ANTENNA IN Jack on the TV. The ANTENNA IN jack on the TV may be

labelled TV IN, RF IN, 75Ω (ohm), or ANT. IN. See your TV owner’s manual for assistance.

Plug in the power cords of the TV and the DVD/VCR.

Set your TV to channel 3 or 4. The DVD/VCR’s output channel is 3 when you purchase it. So, set your TV to channel 3 when the DVD/VCR is new. If you cannot use channel 3 at your TV, you can change the DVD/VCR’s output channel to channel 4. To do so, press the VCR button to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green VCR light will be on the front of the DVD/VCR. Insert a videotape and press PLAY B to start playback.

During playback, press and hold the (VCR) PLAY B button on the front of the DVD/VCR for three to five seconds. Each time you do this,

the DVD/VCR’s output channel switches between 3 and 4. Change your TV to channel 3 or 4 accordingly. (You cannot change the DVD/VCR’s output channel while adjusting tracking manually. Press STOP C to stop play and cancel manual tracking, then press PLAY B to resume play and change the output channel.) There is not a channel 3/4 switch on the DVD/VCR (as customary with most VCRs).

You are ready to turn on the DVD/VCR. Go to page 17 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

Remember...

There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the DVD/VCR. With the connection on this page:

● Select TV channels at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, not the

DVD/VCR. To record or view TV channels, follow these steps:

1) Press VCR to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green VCR light will appear on the front of the DVD/VCR.

2) Press SKIP i /CHo or SKIP j /CHp to set the DVD/VCR to the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel (03 or 04).

3) Set the TV to the DVD/VCR’s output channel (03 or 04). The DVD/VCR’s output channel is channel 3 when the DVD/VCR is new. To change it from 3 to 4, press and hold the (VCR) PLAY B button on the DVD/VCR for 3-5 seconds during tape playback. For more details, see step 4 on page eight.

4) Select the channel you want to view/record at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.

● You may not view a channel other than the one you are

recording.

● You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a

time. Set your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the channel you want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel). (This is step 7 on page

38.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.

5) Press VCR/TV on the remote once to put the DVD/VCR in TV position.

6) Select the channel you want to watch at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.

● When you play a tape or Disc, make sure the Cable Box/Satellite

Receiver is set to the DVD/VCR’s output channel (03 or 04). Set the TV to the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel (03 or 04).

Connect the red and white audio cables (supplied) to the red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. Match the cable colors to the jack

colors. If the TV has a single AUDIO IN jack, use the white audio cable to connect the DVD/VCR’s white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT (left) jack to the TV’s AUDIO IN jack. You will not use the red cable. Or, purchase a “splitter” audio cable to go from the left/right AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD/VCR to the TV’s single AUDIO IN jack.

Connect the yellow video cable (supplied) to the DVD/VCR VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to the VIDEO IN jack on the TV.

Connect the antenna or Cable TV signal to the ANT-IN (Antenna In) jack of your DVD/VCR.

Connect the supplied red and white audio cables to the red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT Jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. Match the cable colors to the

jack colors.

Connect component video cable (not supplied) to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks on the TV. The Component Video In jacks on the

TV are usually red, blue, and green.

The Component Video connection only supplies video (picture) for the DVD Player of the DVD/VCR. Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels at the DVD/VCR, you still need to either connect the RF coaxial cable between the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR and the TV’s Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow video cable. To connect the supplied RF coaxial cable, see step 2 on page eight. To connect the supplied yellow video cable, see step 3 on page 11.

Connect the power cords of the DVD/VCR and TV to a power outlet. Turn on the TV and set it to the Component Video In channel for DVD Player features.

If you are using the RF coaxial cable for VCR playback, choose channel 3 or 4 at the TV. If you are using the yellow video cable for VCR playback, choose the Video In channel at your TV. Go to your lowest TV channel and change channels down until you see VCR or DVD playback on the TV screen, or try channel 3 or 4 at the TV.

You are ready to turn on the DVD/VCR. Go to page 17 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

After you complete the VCR setup as described on page 17, set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF in the DVD Player’s Setup menu. Details

are on page 68. If you play a DVD when the settings are wrong, the sound will be distorted or you may damage the TV speakers.
