Chapter 1: Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
•Turn off the TV/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t
flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV/DVD
instead of straight down the middle of the TV/DVD.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV/DVD carefully. Place the TV/DVD on a stand or base that is of adequate
size and strength to prevent the TV/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off.
This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV/DVD. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
Types of Discs Your TV/DVD will Play
• DVD discs - DVD discs contain high quality picture and sound content.
• Audio discs - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. This player is also capable of playing
CDs that contain JPEG files.
• Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is
the amount of information that can be stored on the disc, and the quality of the video.
• mp3 discs – A disc that contains audio files (for example, a CD-R with downloaded mp3 files).
Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV/DVD

Programming the Remote to Operate Other
Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most
brands of remote controllable components. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.
Notes: The TV and DVD buttons can’t be programmed on this remote.
The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of
components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that
came with your component.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the
VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR button.
Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel
down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If

Using the Remote Control
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic code search
• direct entry
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of
your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate.
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program. While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on,
then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY (the indicator light on the
remote flashes).
The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator stops
flashing (after about 5 seconds), press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next
set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on the
remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that particular
component have been tested once. If the component does not turn off, then the
remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.
Note: Each time you press PLAY, the remote sends about 10 sets of codes. Therefore, you might have
to press the PLAY button up to 20 times.
If the component you want to operate does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns
back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this
section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the
indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t
programmable.
5. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to
the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand,
until the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic
code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not
compatible with your component.

Using the Remote Control
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can operate several different components it uses
operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want
the remote to operate the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote
into TV mode before you could operate the TV.
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR) to set the remote to
operate the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong
mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to
operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote
in VCR mode.)

Chapter 3: Playing Discs
Regional Coding
Both the TV/DVD unit and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for
the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This unit’s code is region 1.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use
to access features:
• The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD’s menu system. The
contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are
included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the DISC MENU button
on the remote.
• The DVD’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc
is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO
button on the remote.
• The DVD’s menu system – The DVD’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It
appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.
A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. If a menu item is “grayed out” it
means that item isn’t available.
Loading and Playing Discs
Your TV/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, mp3 discs, CD-R discs, and CDs with
JPEG files. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs
CANNOT be used with this player:
• Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM, Discs recorded using other
broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)
To Load and Play a Disc
To put the TV/DVD in DVD mode and play a disc, press the DVD button on the
remote control.
1. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the TV/DVD. The disc tray opens.
2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided
discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).
3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes.
The TV/DVD reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of three things
happens depending on how the disc was programmed:
• The disc starts playing.
• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc
play. Highlight that option and press OK on the remote.
• The DVD’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play option and
press OK on the remote.
The unit remembers the five most recent discs (DVD or Video CD only) played and
begins playback at the approximate point which the disc was last stopped. To
resume normal playback, press the DISC MENU button and choose PLAY from the
Disc main menu.

Playing Discs
Using a Disc Menu
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD’s menu
system and on-screen Info Display. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles
and chapters, or it may allow you to change features such as language and playback
settings.
The content and operation of disc menus vary from disc to disc.
Disc Playback Features Using the Remote
You can use the remote control to activate disc playback features.
Playback features aren’t usually available during the opening credits of a movie. If a
playback feature isn’t available, the invalid symbol
appears on the screen when you
press that button.

2. Press the button again to scan at a faster speed. Each time you press the button,
the scanning speed increases.
3. Press the PLAY button at any time to resume normal playback.
Note: You won’t hear the sound (audio) on DVD discs when you’re using the picture scan feature.

1. Press PAUSE when a disc is playing to freeze the picture.
2. Each time you press the PAUSE button, the picture advances one frame.

Playing Discs
Using the On-Screen Info Display
The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info
Display, press the INFO button on the remote while a disc is playing. The Info
Display appears across the top of the screen. Each feature is illustrated with an
icon. Use the left/right arrow buttons on the remote to move through the different
icons in the Info Display.
When an icon is highlighted, use the up/down arrow buttons on the remote to
scroll through the choices displayed in the text box under the icons.
Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also,
the Info Display features are only available if the disc was created with that
particular feature (i.e., if you select the Subtitle icon, you won’t be able to change
the subtitle language unless the author of the disc created the disc with subtitles).
The invalid symbol
appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t
have any function. If one of the icons is “grayed out,” that Info Display feature
isn’t available for the disc you’re playing. To make the Info Display disappear from
the screen, press INFO on the remote.
DVD Disc Info Display
Time Display
This feature displays the audio/video time. For DVD discs, the time displayed refers
to the current title time. For Audio CDs, it refers to the current track time.
For DVD video discs, the Time Display also acts as a Time Search feature. This lets
you go to a particular scene in a movie by entering the time that scene is played.
To use Time Search, press INFO on the remote to bring up the Info Display.
Highlight the Time Display and enter the elapsed time of the scene you wish to go
to. For example, enter 01:12:00 to go to the scene that plays at 1 hour and twelve
minutes into the movie.

Playing Discs
Selecting a Chapter
Because DVD discs use digital technology, a title can be divided into individual
chapters (similar to tracks on a CD). You can skip to a specific chapter by using the
Chapter feature in the Info Display.
1. While a disc is playing, press INFO on the remote to bring up the Info Display.
2. Press the left/right arrow buttons to highlight the Chapter icon.
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the number of the chapter you
want to play or press the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next/previous

Notes: The Chapter feature won’t work if the disc isn’t formatted with separate chapters.
By pressing CH + or CH – on the remote you can automatically highlight the Chapter icon and
advance to the next chapter or preceding chapter.
Selecting Subtitles
By default, subtitles are off. To turn subtitles on and change the Subtitle language
while you’re watching a DVD disc:
1. While a disc is playing, press CC on the remote.
2. If subtitles are off, press OK to turn them on.
3. Use the up/down arrow buttons to scroll through the subtitle languages that
are available on the disc. If subtitles aren’t available, the text in the text box
will read Subtitles: Not Available. If subtitles are available, the language
currently showing in the text box is the active selection. The subtitles will be
shown in that language.
4. To make the Info Display disappear, press the INFO button on the remote.
Notes: Changing the subtitle language with the Info Display will only affect the disc currently
being played. When the disc is removed or the unit is turned off, the subtitle language will
revert to the language setting specified through the DVD’s main menu.
The subtitle language can also be changed through the DVD’s main menu.
Changing the Audio Language
If the disc was created with different language tracks (recorded in different
languages), you can use the Info Display to temporarily change the DVD’s Audio
Language setting.
1. While a disc is playing, press INFO on the remote to bring up the Info Display.
2. Press the left/right arrow buttons to highlight the Audio Language icon. The
current audio language appears in the text box below the row of icons.
3. Press the up/down arrow buttons to scroll through the audio languages that
are available on the disc until the audio language you want to use appears in
the text box. Audio will be played in that language.
4. To make the Info Display disappear, press the INFO button on the remote.
Notes: The language feature only works if the disc was created with multiple audio tracks.
When you choose an audio language from the Info Display, you only override the audio
language setting in the DVD’s main menu temporarily.
The audio language can also be changed through the DVD’s main menu.

Playing Discs
Using the Repeat Feature
The default mode for the Repeat feature is Off. There are four Repeat options:
• Disc – repeats the disc that is playing
• Title – repeats the title that is playing
• Chapter – repeats the chapter that is playing
• A•B – Set the beginning (point A) and the end (point B) to make this part of
the movie play repeatedly.
To Use Repeat:
1. While a disc is playing, press INFO on the remote to bring up the Info Display.
2. Highlight the Repeat icon. The text in the text box below the icons will read
Repeat Mode: Off.
3. Press the up/down arrow buttons to scroll through the Repeat options until the
Repeat option you want is displayed in the text box.
4. The selected repeat option will loop repeatedly until you turn Repeat off.
Repeat is turned off by completing steps 1 through 3 above, and selecting the
Off option.
A•B Repeat
A•B Repeat lets you define a specific segment on the disc that you want to repeat.
For example, you might like to watch the dogfight in the movie Top Gun. To watch
this scene over and over:
1. Find the spot on the disc that is a few seconds before the beginning of the
scene you want to repeat (this gives you time to access the Info Display and
the Repeat feature).
2. Press INFO on the remote and select the Repeat icon from the Info Display.
3. Press the up/down arrow buttons until the A•B Repeat option is shown in the
text box underneath the icons. The text box reads Repeat Mode: A-B Press OK
to Set A Point.
4. At the beginning of the scene you want to repeat, press OK to set the A point.
5. When you get to the part of the disc that you want to be the end of the
repeated segment (the B point), press OK. The segment will repeat until you
turn Repeat off.
6. To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press the INFO button on
the remote.
How to Cancel Repeat
There are three ways to cancel Repeat:
•Press STOP twice.
• Go to the Repeat icon in the Info Display and select Off.
• Eject the disc.
