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.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and
Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may
not be played on the unit.

Regional code of this DVD+VCR and DVDs

This DVD+VCR is designed and manufactured for playback of
Region 1 encoded DVD software. The region code
on the labels of some DVD discs indicate which type
of DVD+VCR can play those discs. This unit can play
only DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play

region code label even though their playback is prohibited by
area limits.

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 Surround

TM

6 General Information

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 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

Tips

"

Depending on your TV and other equipment, there are various
ways you could connect the DVD+VCR. Use connections
described on pages 11-13.

"

Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or
other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

"

For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your ampli­fier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See “Optional,
Preferred TV Connections” on pages 12-13.

Caution

"

Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV. Tune
the TV to the correct video input channel.

"

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

"

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

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD+VCR

11

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the TV.

22

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

Tip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect
it to a 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, 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. Use the supplied round coaxial
cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’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 operation.

To view or record 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 output channel of the

Cable Converter box by using the CHANNEL (v/V)or number
(0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

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 as indicated on page 15.

FUNCTION OSD

The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or off.

" FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by

pressing b/B.

AUDIO MODE

The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high
quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono system. The
same audio is generally recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi
system plays on separate (Left and Right) channels, and the NOR­MAL system plays monaural sound. The normal track is always
played so the cassette can be played on a DVD+VCR that does not
have VHS Hi-Fi.

" AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and

NORMAL by pressing b/B.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or Second
Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to the desired
position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are received. When
only one MTS signal is received, the DVD+VCR automatically selects
the corresponding receiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the
selected position. For normal operation, the display should be in the
STEREO position.

The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program
when available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT IN
STEREO.

For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the display to
mono may give clearer sound.

" BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO, SAP, and

MONO by pressing b/B.

AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)

Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE-HI-FI/NORMAL is in
HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.

This display setting should normally be left in the stereo position, so
that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will be heard
through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is played and the
audio output is set to stereo, the same mono sound will be heard
from both left and right channels.

Digital Audio Output

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the
DVD+VCR’s Digital Audio Output according to the type of
audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM if
you have connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or
other equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM: Select Stream/PCM if you have
connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to
an amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby
Digital decoder or MPEG decoder.
PCM: Select when connected to a 2 channel digital stereo
amplifier. The DVD+VCR outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch
format when you play a DVD video disc recorded with a
Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system.

Sample Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the
desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. With this selection the
DVD+VCR will automatically convert any 96KHz signals to
48KHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96KHz sig­nals, select 96KHz. With this selection the unit will pass each
type of signal through without any further processing.

Others

The DRC, Vocal, PBC and Auto Play settings can be
changed.

" Use v/V to select the desired option and press OK. The

setting of the selected option is changed between On and
Off.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With DVD digital audio technology, you can hear a pro­gram’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen­tation possible. However, you may wish to compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between
the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may
listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of
sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into nor­mal stereo sound.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

On: Video CDs with PBC are played with PBC active or in place.
Off: Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automatically
starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.
If Auto Play mode is set to On, the DVD player will search a
title with the longest playback time and then play back the
title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is active.
Off: Auto Play function is turn off.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.
