1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the DVD-VCR is operated.

2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the DVD-VCR and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and maintenance instructions should be followed.

5. CLEANING - Unplug this DVD-VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use

a dry cloth for dusting cabinet.

6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they may be hazardous.

7. WATER & MOISTURE - Do not use this DVD-VCR near water—for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or the like.

8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this DVD-VCR on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The DVD-VCR may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the DVD-VCR. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

8a. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces

may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the DVD-VCR and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place your VCR on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, on or near a radiator or heat register. This DVD-VCR should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES - This DVD-VCR should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This DVD-VCR may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3-wire grounding plug having a third (grounding) pin.

The 2-wire polarized plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords of plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the DVD-VCR.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the DVD-VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection of this DVD-VCR during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the DVD-VCR due to lightning and power line surges.

15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

In this section, you will connect the DVD-VCR to your television and run Auto Setup, which automatically searches for channels and sets the player’s internal clock.

NOTES:

• Advanced Connections are covered in Appendix A.

• Even if you plan to use the S-Video or Component Video Outputs,

you MUST connect the DVD-VCR to your television with either the standard RF or the Line Out connection. This enables you to operate the DVD-VCR setup menus.

1 Connect Antenna/Cable to DVD-VCR

Connect the RF antenna cable from your indoor/outdoor antenna or cable wall outlet to the IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the back panel of the DVD-VCR.

2 Connect DVD-VCR to TV

Choose one of the following methods to connect the DVD-VCR to your TV:

SHUTTLE

RF Connection

Connect the supplied RF antenna cable from the OUT (TO TV) jack on the back panel of the DVD-VCR to your television’s Antenna Input.

Line Connection

Connect an RCA-type audio/video cable (red, white, yellow) from the LINE OUT jacks on the back panel of the DVD–VCR to your television’s Line In jacks. Use red for right audio, white for left audio, and yellow for video. NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Line Connection if your TV is equipped with RCA jacks.

3 Set DVD-VCR Output Channel

If you used the RF connection in Step 2, set the Channel switch on the back panel of the DVD-VCR to 3 or 4, whichever is not an active channel in your area.

4 Plug In DVD-VCR

Connect the DVD-VCR power cord to a standard 120V/60Hz wall outlet.

5 Turn On DVD-VCR

Press the POWER button on the remote control or on the DVD–VCR’s front panel.

6 Turn On TV

Press the POWER button on your TV.

7 Set TV to Channel 3 or 4 or Line

Be sure to use the same channel you selected in Step 3. If you used the Line Connection, set your TV to its Line Input. The “LANGUAGE/LANGUE/IDIOMA” menu should appear on the screen. Please continue with Auto Setup on the following page.

The first time you connect your DVD-VCR, or after an extended power outage, you will be prompted to set the on-screen menu language and connect an Antenna or Cable. Then the DVD-VCR will run an Auto Setup procedure, where it will automatically search for all active channels and set the clock.

1 Set the On-Screen

Menu Language

Press 1, 2, or 3 to select English, French, or Spanish. To change the language at any other time, see page 17.

2 Antenna/Cable Reminder

A message is displayed to remind you to connect an Antenna or Cable if you have not already done so. Press Enter to begin Auto Setup.

3 Run Auto Setup

As soon as you press Enter, the screen at right will appear and the DVD-VCR will automatically perform the following steps:

• Auto Channel Search — Automatically detects whether an antenna or cable is connected, then searches for all active channels in your area. If Auto Channel Search is unable to locate channels in your area, you can search and add channels manually; see pages 23-24.

• Auto Clock Set — Sets the DVD-VCR’s internal clock. If Auto Clock Set is unable to find a channel to set the clock, you can set the clock manually; see page 18.

This procedure may take a few minutes to complete. When finished, the DVD-VCR will tune to the lowest channel found.

4 Auto Setup is Complete!

Please proceed to page 14 for an introduction to the basic operations of the DVD-VCR.
