Tuning in a video channel on your TV

Notes

• The output frequency of this video recorder (VCR) is set at UHF channel 36. If channel 36 is already used by another TV station, or if the picture is distorted, you can change the transmitter channel of your VCR. Stages 5 \~ 8 will show you how to change the output frequency of your VCR.
• Your TV receives signals from the video recorder (VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes. If you have used a SCART cable then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it, usually called AV.

Don't worry if you don't have a video-tape to play at this stage! If you switch your VCR on and continue stages 3 \~ 4, instead of seeing video playback tune your TV until you see a bright blue screen.
3 Tune this channel until the video picture is sharp and the sound is clear. If you have used a SCART cable you will not have to tune your TV, simply select the AV channel. The AV channel is already pre-tuned for optimum video playback on your TV.
4 Store this channel on your TV. You will need to look at the TV instruction book if you do not know how to do this.
5 Only carry out stages 5 \~ 8 if you cannot obtain clear video playback as described in stages 1 \~ 4. Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video's. Make sure that your VCR is in standby pressing POWER on the remote control (only the clock will be displayed).
6 Press PROG. ▲ or ▼ on the front of your VCR for more than 4 seconds. RF36 will appear in the display window. The following picture will be displayed on the TV screen.

RF CANAL 36

7 Press PROG. ▲ or ▼ to select another video channel. You may select any channel number between 22 and 68. You can also set it to "OFF" if there is any interference when your TV is connected to the VCR with a SCART lead.
8 Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video's. Press ⏻/1 on the front of your VCR when you have finished. Tune this channel so that a bright blue screen appears. Store this channel on your TV.

Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the programme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder.

VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals. *** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your new video recorder.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
• The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

• An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology.
• WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz (MP3), 22.05-44.1 kHz (WMA)
2. Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps (MP3), 32-128 kbps (WMA)
3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA 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 ".mp3" or ".wma" extension e.g. "*******.MP3" or "*******.WMA".
7. Do not use special letters such as "/ : * ? " < >" etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player 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 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

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

Notes on JPEG Recordings

• Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc's contents. If you don't see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.
• Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.
• Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.
• When you are using software such as "Easy CD Creator" to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the ".jpg" extensions when copying into the CD layout.
• If the files have ".jpe" or ".jpeg" extensions, please rename them as ".jpg" files.
• File names without ".jpg" extension will not be able to be read by this DVD player. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
