1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from a power source indicated on the unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this Video product comes with either a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug wilt only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over them, or be in the way of walking traffic. if an extension cord is used, make sure it also has either a polarized or grounded plug and that the cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified service technician. Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and should be avoided-
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may result
in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.
For protection, follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in use,
or operate the unit when placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or
rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater or
regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed vehicle, etc..
Do not move the unit suddenly between areas of
extreme temperature variation. If the unit is suddenly

Introduction about D-VHS

ABOUT D-VHS
The “D" in D-VHS represents Digital Data. As this name suggests, D-VHS is an extension of the world’s most popular VHS home video format, which adds new digital recording (storage) capabilities that make it an ideal match for digital broadcasts. Like VHS, D-VHS is a tape-based format. Unlike VHS, D-VHS records digital signals as a digital bit streamj (data) which is compatible with the MPEG II and ATSC standards utilized by your broadcast system. Since digital data is stored “as is”, there is no loss of quality compared to the original broadcast. And since you will want to continue enjoying all of the regular VHS tapes you’ve recorded or accumulated, the D-VHS also offers conventional analog (VHS) recording and playback in addition to digital. The relationship between type of broadcast, cassette D-VHS Switch, and resulting recording is as follows:

Explanations for Each Connection

(1) ANT (Set Top Box)

Connects the broadcast signal from your home antenna to receive Digital broadcasts. To connect the broadcast signal to the D-VHS VCR, use a 2-Way Splitter {not supplied).

(2) Y, Pb, and Pr Jacks (Set Top Box)

Connects to Y, Pb, and Pr jacks on the Digital TV with RCA type cable to see digital broadcasts and digital playback programs from the D-VHS VCR.

(3) AUDIO UR OUT Jacks (Set Top Box)

Connects to AUDIO L7R IN on the Digital TV to listen to Audio sound from the Set Top Box. Y, Pb, Pr, and S-VIDEO jacks do not contain an audio signal. You cannot hear the audio sound if these jacks are connected to the Digital TV.

(4) S-Video (Set Top Box) |

Connects to S-VIDEO on the Digital TV to see a high quality picture with NTSC.

• If IEEE1394 HUB is used, the D-VHS VCR may not operate correctly.
• The IEEE1394 cable may not be compatible for connection with other brand Set Top Boxes.
• Digital playback and digital recording with the D-VHS VCR is only possible if the signal is based on MPEG 2 format. Even with the D-VHS VCR connected to a DVC (digital video camera) with an IEEE1394 Digital Interface cable, the D-VHS VCR cannot do a digital recording of the DVC playback, nor can the DVC do a digital recording of the D-VHS VCR Playback.

(6) IN FROM ANT. Jack (D-VHS VCR)

Connects Antenna or Cable Box or DSS signal.

(7) OUT TO TV Jack (D-VHS VCR)

Connects to RF IN on the Digital TV with RF Cable (Supplied).

(8) AUDIOA^IDEO OUT (Set Top Box) <lf necessary>

Connects to AUDIOA/IDEO IN on the D-VHS VCR with RCA type cable to receive an analog signal from the Set Top Box. Use this connection to record a digital broadcast in VHS format with DTV selected as the input mode.
CAUTION: The D-VHS VCR should only be used with a Panasonic Set Top Box as other brands may not
function properly.
If you connect the DIGITAL OUTPUT on the Set Top Box to the DIGITAL INPUT on the DTV compatible TV only, or the NTSC OUTPUT on the Set Top Box to the AUDIO/ VIDEO IN on the DTV compatible TV only, some on screen displays such as MENU or PROGRAM will not be displayed.

Important notes when using a DSS receiver
• When recording programs via a DSS receiver, the DSS receiver must be left on.
• When recording programs via an antenna or cable, the DSS receiver must be turned off.
Digital programs cannot be programmed with VCR Plus+ because PlusCodes are not available.
You can obtain unlisted PlusCode numbers by calling 1 - 900 - 454 - 7587, Call costs approximately $.95 per minute.
VCR PlusCodes can not be used to program the D-VHS VCR to record DSS channels. Avoid overlapping program times. An on-screen display will indicate if an invalid PlusCode number has been entered or when all timer
programs are full.

Built-in Head Cleaner
Specifications
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture. So, we have equipped your D-VHS VCR with a built­in, non chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is performed each time you load or unload a video cassette.
NOTE: This feature is preventative only. If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of a chemical nonabrasive head
cleaning kit.

Cleaning the D-VHS VCR

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your
vacuum cleaner to dust your D-VHS VCR.
Remove dust from the ventilation holes on the
back sides and bottom of the cabinet.
Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a nonabrasive, antistatic cleaner and polisher.
FCC Warning; To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use only provided shielded interfacing cable with ferrite cores when connecting to the Set Top Box. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the users authority to operate.
