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

Hookups

7

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV.These 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.

See 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 jacks (Y C

B/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. Component Video provides the best picture quality.

See 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 C

B/PB CR/PR) jacks.

Set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu.

See 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 C

B/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.

See pages 12 and 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.

See page 13.

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

the yellow DVD/VCR 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.

See

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.

See 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.

See 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 con-

nectors 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 power only after you have finished

hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to power.

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).Or,your TV’s remote may
have a button or switch that selects the Video Input channel. See your TV 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.

nel switches between 3 and 4, and the selected channel number appears on
the display panel. 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 playing and change the output channel.)
There is not a channel 3/4 switch on the DVD/VCR (as customary with most
VCRs).

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 8 on page 37.) Leave the
Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.
