SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION : Before servicing the VCR+DVD covered by this
service data and its supplements and addends, read and follow the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. NOTE : if unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing
precautions and any of the safety precautions in this publications, always follow the safety precautions.
Remembers Safety First:
General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the VCR+DVD AC power cord from the AC
power source before:
(1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board,
module, or any other assembly.
(2) Disconnection or reconnecting any internal electrical
plug or other electrical connection.
(3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an elec-
trolytic capacitor.
Caution : A wrong part substitution or incorrect
polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result
in an explosion hazard.
2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this VCR+DVD or any
of its assemblies.
3. Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean
electrical contacts by applying an appropriate contact
cleaning solution to the contacts with a pipe cleaner,
cotton-tipped swab, or comparable soft applicator.
Unless specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication
of contacts is not required.
4. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
whitch instruments covered by this service manual might
be equipped.
5. Do not apply AC power to this VCR+DVD and/or any of its
electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat
sinks are cerrectly installed.
6. Always connect test instrument ground lead to the
appropriate ground before connection the test instrument
positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground
lead last.
Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn
the power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter(500V)
to the blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts (Note 1) should be more than 1Mohm.
Note 1 : Accessible Conductive Parts including Metal panels, Input terminals, Earphone jacks, etc.
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged
easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are
called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of
typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field
effect transistors and semiconductor chip components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the
incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any
electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known
earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which
should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to
applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES
devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such
as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or
exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grouned-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder
ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some
solder removal devices not classified a “anti-static” can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES
devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can
generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES
devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protec
tive package until immediately before you are ready to
install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with
leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam,
aluminum foil, or comparable conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from
the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective
material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the
device will be installed.
Caution : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or
circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ES devices. (Normally harmless motion such
as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting
of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)

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 packed at the factory.
When setting the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be
distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit
away from the TV 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 of 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 down, 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.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate the DVD+VCR immediately after moving
it from a cold location to a warm location. Leave it for
two or three hours without operating it. If you use the
DVD+VCR in such a situation, it may damage
discs/tapes and internal parts.
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.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

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 11-13.
z
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
z
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See
Optional, Preferred TV Connections on page 12-13.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD+VCR
11
Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
TV.
22
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.
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.
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

FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or
off.
z FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by
pressing
b/B.
AUDIO MODE
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the
high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono
system. The same audio is generally recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and right)
channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural sound.
The normal track is always played so the cassette can be
played on a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
z AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and
NORMAL by pressing b/B.
BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display
to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals
are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the
DVD+VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving
mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For
normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when
available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT
IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the display to mono may give clearer sound.
z BROADCAST TYPE can be switched among STEREO, SAP,
and MONO by pressing
b/B.
AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is
in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.
This display setting should normally be left in the stereo position, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will
be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
z AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched among STEREO, LEFT,
and RIGHT by pressing
b/B.
44
Press VCR MENU when finished.

Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the
type of audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other
equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2
recording system.
Sample Frequency
To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz
signals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.

ENTER. The setting of the selected item is changed
between On and Off.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.
PBC
Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.
On:
Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.
Off:
Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.
Auto Play
You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automatically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.
If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player will
search a title where playback time is longest and then
play back the title automatically.
On: Auto Play function is activated.
Off: Auto Play function is not activated.
Note
The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.
B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion)
To select the black level of playback pictures. Set your
preference and monitor’s ability.
On: Expanded grey scale. (0 IRE cut off)
Off: Standard grey scale. (7.5 IRE cut off)
Pluge (Blacker than Black)
For proper adjustment of your television brightness
settings utilizing a commercially available test disc.
On:
Select when you adjust the level of your TV using a
commercially available test disc that contains pluge signals.
Off: For normal use.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
You can reduce ambient noise in the picture.
DNR1: Normal level
DNR2: Expanded level.
Off: Off.
Notes
– Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the
quality of the disc.
– While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional
improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it
may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs.
Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (normal or off).
– Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by
the picture enhancement.
– A DVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may
be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures
which may be modified by the above processes.
