Playable Discs and Video Cassettes
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 DVD Player.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 will play both NTSC and PAL DVDs.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.Your TV must have the NTSC and/or PAL color system as well.
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); finalized Compact Discs Rewritable (CD­RW) and Compact Discs Recordable (CD-R); and Video Compact Discs (VCDs). 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.

Hookups
7
Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV.The following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound 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 ANT-OUT 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 TV has Component Video In jacks (which could be labelled Y CR CB,Y PR PB, or YUV and may be
green, blue, and red), use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y CB/PB CR/PR) 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. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i or inter­lace) TV signals. If your TV has Progressive Scan (525p/480p or progressive),connect the TV to the DVD/VCR’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y CB/PB CR/PR) jacks. Set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu. Details are on pages 64-65. P.SCAN will appear on the DVD/VCR’s display panel. Set your TV to Progressive Scan also. If your TV does not have Progressive Scan but has Component Video In jacks, connect them to the DVD/VCR’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y CB/PB CR/PR). Set PROGRESSIVE to OFF either in the DISPLAY menu or by pressing and holding the PLAY B (DVD) button on the front of the DVD/VCR for more than five seconds. Details are on pages 64-65.
★★★ If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-VIDEO OUT 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 OUT 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, EXT
1 or External In, etc.These channels often are located near channel zero (0). 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 (0
1 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. If your TV or monitor
has BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.
If you set Progressive Scan on or off when the power is on, the DVD/VCR will turn off.When you turn on the
DVD Player again, the last selected scanning system will be active.
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 steps for the hookup you choose.Then, go to page
17 to complete the first-time setup.
