good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please

refer any service to the nearest service centre approved by

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the VCR/DVD and equipment to be connected before connecting.

• Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.

• Be sure to keep the VCR/DVD connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the VCR/DVD,
because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

• DTS audio cannot be produced with an analogue connection.

Connecting to a TV or a stereo TV

CAUTION:

• Connect the VCR/DVD directly to
the TV. Do not connect the
VCR/DVD to a VCR, then connect
the VCR to the TV. Copyright
protection in the VCR could distort
the picture playing on the
VCR/DVD.

Connecting to a TV Equipped with S-VIDEO Input Jack (DVD only)

If your TV has no SCART input terminal but has an S-VIDEO input jack, use a commercially available S-VIDEO cable to con­nect from the VCR/DVD to the TV.

• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the VCR/DVD if you use the AUDIO cable (commercially avail­able) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

NOTES:

• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

• Connect the VCR/DVD directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection
function will scramble the picture.

• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO cable to the TV.

• You will still need the scart cable or Round coaxial cable for VCR features. (S-VIDEO connection is available only in
DVD mode.)
