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.

Connections
TiP :
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.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
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.
Caution
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.
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD
image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
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 an 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
1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of
the Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRK (+/-) or
number (0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
Notes :
With this connection, you CANNOT record one program
while viewing another.
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-
essary to do Auto Channel Programming (Auto Channel Set)
as indicated on page 15.
