SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

This VCR/DVD combination unit is suitable only for connection to the UK mains. The unit is fitted with a moulded 3-pin mains plug with a 3-amp fuse. The unit does not have a mains power switch. When connected to the mains, the unit will draw current at all times to power the clock. Be sure to unplug the unit when it is not to be used for several months.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of

ASA

the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed

immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral Brown:Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

—The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or

coloured black.

—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or

coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

—If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. —The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

)

(

)

If the Surface is Soiled (C)

Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge. (If you wipe the discs using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

Basic Connection

Caution:

• Be sure to turn off the Unit and equipment to be connected before connecting.

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

•

Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when using a VIDEO/AUDIO lead (commerially available)

• Be sure to keep the Unit connection leads separate from the TV aerial lead when you install the Unit, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

Connecting to ANTENNA IN/ANTENNA OUT

The connection method differs depending on the type of TV.

The signal from ANTENNA OUT will only be the Television Signal. A scart lead MUST be used to view the units’ playback signal.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Unit directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 85). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial

digital input jack.

Optional Audio Connection

Connecting to a Decoder with Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG1/2 Audio Processing or an Amplifier with a DTS Decoder

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG 1/2 Audio are played, Dolby Digital or MPEG 1/2 Audio bitstream is output from the DVD player’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT connector and DIGITAL OUT connector. When the DVD player is connected to a Dolby Digital or MPEG 1/2 Audio decoder, you can enjoy theatrequality audio right in your home.

(An optional optical digital cable is required when an optional Dolby Digital decoder is used. Similarly, you must purchase a separate cable when you use the DIGITAL OUT connector.)

Decoder Switching Operation

If you have a separate decoder connected to the Unit’s L2 input as previously shown in the “Basic Connection” section, you will need to set the decoder function to ON in order to record the unscrambled signal and/or watch it on your TV. Now, when the Unit receives a scrambled signal it is output via LINE 2 terminal to the decoder. The decoder then outputs the unscrambled signal back to LINE 2 terminal and the signal can be recorded. The Unit outputs the descrambled signal to your TV through the LINE 1 terminal and you can watch the unscrambled picture. When making recording using a separate decoder connected as shown, remember to leave the decoder function ON. If you connect a decoder unit to this Unit, the decoder unit provides a switching signal which will automatically allow your TV to display the unscrambled signal routed through the Unit. To use this feature make sure that the Unit is connected to both TV and decoder unit by the SCART leads. Then:

• Press OPERATE to place the Unit in STAND-BY mode.

• Press TV/VCR to place the Unit in “VCR mode”. The “VCR” indicator appears on the VCR Front Panel display.

Selecting the Output From the VCR

If your VCR is connected to your TV with a scart lead, when you start to play a video tape the VCR will automatically switch its output so that the playback picture is shown on the TV. In this case, “VCR” will appear on the VCR display. You can manually override this by pressing TV/VCR on the remote control. Now the TV broadcast channel will be seen on the TV screen and “VCR” will disappear from the VCR display.

• Pressing TV/VCR again will return the TV picture to the playback picture.

• While in DVD mode, the unit will override this function.

CINEMA VOICE............. Use the setting for raising the sound of the

Setting the COMPRESSION (Dolby Digital output level)

When Dolby Digital is used to record the audio on a DVD disc, the average overall volume level of the audio is relatively lower than that produced by an Audio CD. This is to provide the widest possible dynamic range. To counteract this, this Unit automatically raises the overall average volume level of a disc recorded using Dolby Digital to a level that is similar to that of an Audio CD.

Playing MP3 Discs

This Unit is able to play CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded in MP3 format.

Regarding MP3 discs

• MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.

• Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.

• Some discs cannot be played depending on the actual CD-R/CD-RW disc condition, the recording equipment and the disc’s recording.

• Data on the CD-R or CD-RW disc, which has not been recorded in MP3 format, audio tracks or has been recorded in other file formats except MP3, cannot be played.

Playing MP3 discs

• Discs that have more than 1000 folders and files in total cannot be played.

• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• The number of layers, which can be recognized, including files and folders, is maximum 8.

• Only the first session of a multi-session disc can be played.

• When both audio tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, audio tracks will be played.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

(The more files there are, the longer the reading time. Therefore it is recommended to lower the number of folders before recording.)

• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. The folder / file names are displayed in half-size, capital letters or half-size numbers. Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated.

• Certain letters or symbols in folder names or file names may not be displayed. In this case, “?” will be displayed.

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and

may not be able to be played.

CAUTION

• It is impossible to make a digital copy by using a digital audio recording device which outputs sound from discs in MP3 format through the coaxial digital output jack of this Unit.
