Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Yes

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Tips



Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 12-14.



Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.



For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See Connecting to optional equipment on page 14.

Caution



Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.



Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.



Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD+VCR

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the

TV.

Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is

a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.

Without Cable Box

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.

With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the instruction below: The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.

To view or record CATV channel 1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4). 2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of

the Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRK (v/V) or number (0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

Notes

 With this connection, you CANNOT record one program

while viewing another.

 If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-

essary to do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel Search) as indicated on page 16.

Tip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the DVD+VCR, it just slips over the jack.
