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 packaged at the factory.

When 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.

To keep the surface 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

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, 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

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.

Tips

  • 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 12-14.
  • 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/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See Connecting to optional equipment on page 14.

LG V694MK - Tips - 1

Caution

  • 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/VHS 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

1 Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the TV.

2 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.

LG V694MK - DVD+VCR - 1

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

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.

SCREEN DISPLAY

The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or off.

- SCREEN DISPLAY can be switched between ON and OFF by pressing ◀/▶.

LANGUAGE

The on-screen programming of this DVD+VCR can be displayed in either English, Spanish, or French.

- LANGUAGE can be switched among ENGLISH, SPANISH and FRENCH by pressing ◀/▶.

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.

- AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and NORMAL by pressing ◀/▶.

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.

- BROADCAST TYPE can be switched among STEREO, SAP, and MONO by pressing ◀/▶.

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.

- AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched among STEREO, LEFT, and RIGHT by pressing ◀/▶.

Channel Selection

This DVD+VCR is equipped with a frequency synthesized tuner capable of receiving up to 181 channels. These include VHF channels 2-13, UHF channels 14-69 and CATV channels 1-125.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program's sound-track 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.

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.

Operation with MP3 Discs

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3

  • An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the .mp3 file extension MP3 files.
  • The DVD+VCR cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than .mp3.
  • The DVD+VCR cannot read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension .mp3.

MP3 disc compatibility with this DVD+VCR is limited as follows:

  1. Sampling Frequency/only at 44.1kHz
  2. Bit rate/within 32 - 320kbps
  3. CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660
  4. If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example Direct-CD etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO9660 file system.
  5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.
  6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the .mp3 extension e.g. "*******.MP3".
  7. Do not use special characters such as “_?!><+*}{[@]::V." etc.
  8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 256.
  9. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80 minute CD-R (700M) software.

This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Playing MP3 Discs

The DVD+VCR can play MP3 format recordings on CD-ROM, CD-R, or CD-RW discs.

Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3 Recordings to the left.
