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.

 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 features of the DVD/VCR 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 S-Video In jacks (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 features of the DVD/VCR will be available.To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its S-Video In channel.

Details are on page 11.

 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 allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features.To see DVD or VCR features on the TV, set the TV to its Video In channel. Details are on page 11.

 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. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 - the same channel to which the CH3/CH4 switch of the DVD/VCR is set.This connection allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features. Details are on page eight.

 If you have a Stereo Receiver with DIGITAL AUDIO IN jacks, digital audio connections provide

the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCR’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo Receiver for the best sound quality. If you use only this audio connection, only the DVD features of the DVD/VCR will be available. Details are on page 13.

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

OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo Receiver or TV.This connection allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features. Details are on page 11.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Cable Box, Stereo Receiver, 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, just keep chang- ing TV channels until you see the DVD or VCR picture on the TV.

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

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

● 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 8-13. Follow the specific steps for the hookup you choose. After hooking up the DVD/VCR, go to page 15 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

on TV

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

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, matching 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 jack to the TV’s AUDIO IN jack.You will not use the red cable.

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.

For better DVD picture quality, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied) to the SVIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the TV instead. However, the S-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 as described earlier.To connect the supplied RF coaxial cable, see step 2 on page eight.

Connect the power cords of the TV and the DVD/VCR to a power outlet.Turn on the TV and set it to the correct Audio/Video In channel. If you are using the red/white/yellow audio/video cables for VCR or DVD

playback, choose the Audio/Video In channel at your TV. If you are using the SVideo cable for DVD playback, choose the S-Video In channel at your TV. If you are using the RF coaxial cable for VCR or DVD playback, choose channel 3 or 4 at the TV. See your TV owner’s manual for more details. Or, simply continue changing channels at the TV until you see VCR or DVD playback on the TV screen.

You are ready to turn on the DVD/VCR. Go to page 15 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

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 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.

using the RF coaxial cable for VCR playback, choose channel 3 or 4 at the TV. If you are using the red/white/yellow audio/video cables for VCR playback, choose the Audio/Video In channel at your TV. Or, simply continue changing channels at the TV until you see VCR or DVD playback on the TV screen.

You are ready to turn on the DVD/VCR. Go to page 15 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

44 Multi-Channel Television Sound

To record and play programs in stereo, use one of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 45-46.You could use the hookups shown on page 11 instead if you prefer and if your TV has right and left Audio In jacks.

Your DVD/VCR can play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from the left and right audio channels.Your DVD/VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your DVD/VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well. Your DVD/VCR also will record a video cassette in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play that tape on the DVD/VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your DVD/VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.Then follow the directions on page 45 to record in stereo or second audio, or follow the directions on page 46 to play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding On-Screen Displays

When you watch TV channels through the VCR, portions of the display shown below will appear when you press DISPLAY/STATUS/EXIT.

If 2ND AUD or TV STEREO appears here, your DVD/VCR is set to receive a second audio or stereo broadcast. (It cannot receive both at the same time.)

If 2ND AUD or STEREO appears here, the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo.This indication is not available during tape playback. Even though a program is available in stereo or second audio, you still must program the DVD/VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 45.
