restore the video product to its normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance this indicates a need for service.

FOR TVs WITH S-VIDEO INPUT JACK
Use an S-Video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow video cable to enjoy higher quality pictures.
The S-Video connection only supplies video (picture) in the DVD mode of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT.
Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels on the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT, you still
need to either connect the RF cable between the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT and the
TV’s Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow video cable as described earlier (Fig.1). To connect the supplied RF cable,
see page 13.
[Fig. 2]

Use a component video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow DVD/VCR video cable and S-VIDEO jack to
enjoy higher quality pictures.
The component video connection only supplies video (picture) in the DVD mode of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT.
Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels at the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT, you still need
to either connect the RF coaxial cable between the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNIT and the TV’s
Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow VCR video cable as described earlier (Fig. 1). To connect the supplied RF cable, see
page 13.
[Fig. 3]

sound by an MD or DAT deck.
¡
Set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD disc using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (See page 29 to set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF.)
