Antenna connections

If you are using an antenna system, follow these instructions. If you are a Cable TV subscriber, skip ahead to page 16 for
the proper connections.

Antenna to DVD/VCR connection

The DVD/VCR must be connected “between” the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and
connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an antenna
system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 75 ohm Coaxial Cable

1

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire

2

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

3

VHF

Note:

If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300 ohm inputs and
one 75 ohm output.

Notes: • A clear picture will not be obtained by the DVD/VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to

the DVD/VCR properly.

• For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor type

antenna is required.

• If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.

This DVD/VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scram­bled programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Con­sult your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are
many ways to connect your DVD/VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the TV/CABLE menu option is set to the “CABLE” mode.

Notes:

• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.

• When you connect the DVD/VCR to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before making any connections.

• If you place the DVD/VCR near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the tuner and radio.

• The output sound of the DVD/VCR has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD/VCR’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.

• When connecting to a TV using the Video or S-video jack, make sure that the Progressive indicator “

” on the

display window is not lit. If it is lit, the Video and S-video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see
any picture. To turn off the Progressive indicator, select PROGRESSIVE scan Off

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video
signal. Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with less flicker.

INTERLACED outputs

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy the highest quality
DVD picture playback.

Notes:

• Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, CB, CR)

• In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a
case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Connecting to an audio system and TV equipped with S-video input/component video inputs

If you connect the DVD/VCR to
your TV with the DVD OUT jacks,
select the corresponding video

Cable TV connections

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This
DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company
supplied converter box, except for those premium channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a
premium channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by

which the DVD/VCR reads the picture
from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become
dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be displayed. This can easily be
determined if, during playback of a
known good tape, there is good sound,
but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, have the
DVD/VCR checked and cleaned by
qualified service personnel.

Notes:

•

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.

•

Video heads may eventually wear out and should be re­placed when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•

Tohelp prevent video head clogging, use only good qual­ity VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

When a MTS STEREO broad­cast is received, “STEREO” will
appear on the screen for about 4
seconds and the program can
be viewed or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi stereo recording pro­cedure is the same as for normal
recordings.

Notes:

• When playing back a tape that is not recorded in Hi-Fi stereo
mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.

• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video tape or MTS broadcast

the sound will be monaural.

When viewing an MTS stereo TV program, or playing a
prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi stereo videotape, press AUDIO
SELECT to select how the audio will be heard through
the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi stereo position,
this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo
broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The “R”
and “L” positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi­Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This
button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or
TV program. Each time when you press the button,
OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for
several seconds. Refer to the chart below.

This function applies only when the program is broadcast in
multi-languages through the SAP broadcast system.

When the VCR is turned on or a channel selection is
made, make certain the letters “SAP” appears on the

• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according to
the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs.

• There may be a slight delay between you pressing the button and the function activating.

To obtain a higher quality picture

Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast
may appear on the TV screen while playing a DVD video disc because the high
resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of
noise depends on the TV you use with this unit, you should generally reduce the
sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.

ABOUT LEAD FREE SOLDER (PbF)

Distinction of PbF PCB:

PCBs (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF printing on the PCB.
(Please refer to figures.)

Caution:

Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder;

•

Typically the melting point is 50°F~70°F(30°C~40°C) higher.
Please use a soldering iron with temperature control and adjust it to 650°F ± 20°F (350°C ± 10°C).
In case of using high temperature soldering iron, please be careful not to heat too long.
Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/ 600°C).

•

All products with the printed circuit board with PbF printing must be serviced with lead free solder.

•

When soldering or unsoldering, completely remove all of the solder from the pins or solder area,
and be sure to heat the soldering points with the lead free solder until it melts sufficiently.

Recommendations

Recommended lead free solder composition is Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu.
