Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
Handling the unit
Shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.
Setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.
Keeping unit surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
Cleaning 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+Hi-Fi VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, 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.
Notes on Discs
Disc handling
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 outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD+Hi-Fi 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 ANTENNA/CABLE IN on your DVD+Hi-Fi VCR.
ip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and slip the Adapter onto the ANTENNA/ CABLE IN jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR, it just slips over the jack.
ote
During DVD or VCR playback, THE DVD+Hi-Fi VCR is
designed so that sound will be heard only from the unit’s 5 speakers and subwoofer, (no sound output is provided to the TV if it is connected to the S-VIDEO OUT or MONITOR OUT on the unit with a optional cables.
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 ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack on the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR’s ANTENNA/CABLE 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+Hi-Fi VCR opera­tion.
To view or record CATV channel 1 Tune the TV to the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR output channel (CH 3 or
4).
2 Set the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR channel selector to the output chan-
nel of the Cable Converter box by using the CH/TRK (v/V) of your DVD+Hi-Fi VCR. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
otes
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 as indicated on page 17.

Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters; distance, level, etc..
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the connectors: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
When making the sound louder, adjust the sound level carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.
Only 2-channel stereo (Front Left, Front Right & Subwoofer) is abailable in VCR mode, thus sound might not be heard from center or rear speakers during VCR playback. (For further details about sound mode, please refer to next page.)
Do not remove the front covers of supplied speakers.
Speaker Positioning
For a normal setup, use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, cen­ter speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). If you want to hear excellent bass sound or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
• Front speakers
From your listening position, place the speakers an equal dis­tance away and with an interval of 45 degrees between speak­ers.
• Center speaker
It is ideal if the center speakers and front speakers are at the same height. You would normally place the center speaker above or below television as shown.
• Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speak­ers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. For smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall. place the rear speakers opposite each other, and 24 - 36 inches above the listeners’ ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro­gram source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam­ic than before.
(II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play­back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played accord­ing to the way it was recorded.
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.
Each time you press the SOUND MODE button, the sound mode is changed in the following order;
PRO LOGIC PLII MOVIE PLII MUSIC PLII MATRIX 3D SURROUND BYPASS ...
For DVD Operation
You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc.) by pressing the AUDIO button repeatedly on the remote during playback. Although DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.
Each time you press AUDIO, the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR sound mode is changed in the following order;
→→→
For your reference
The DVD/CD Receiver memorizes the last mode setting for each source individually.
You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging.
- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo.
- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with the logo.
- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
otes
When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequen­cy, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).
Sound Mode is not applicable when headphones are used.
