DVD Disc Meals...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. Not all DVDs have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing DVD, then DISC/VCR/MENU on the remote control.

Details are on page 52.

DVD Player Setup Menu...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player's Setup menu to set up features of the DVD Player or a DVD.Access the DVD Player menu by pressing

SYSTEM/MENU on the remote control when playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set in the DVD Player's menu, it may not be available if the current DVD does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the DVD/VCR to make it available. An "X" will appear in the top right corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not currently available.

6 Playable Discs and Video Cassettes

Playable Discs

The DVD Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs); Audio Compact Discs (CDs); finalized Digital Video Discs Rewritable (DVD+RW); and finalized Compact Discs Rewritable (CD-RW) and Compact Discs Recordable (CD-R).

To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD Player. Other Disc types are not guaranteed to play in the DVD/VCR.

VIDEO

DVD
Audio CD

CD-RW/CD-R

DVD+RW

Region Codes

This DVD/VCR has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the DVD Player. You cannot play DVDs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Player.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S.Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.

A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same region code.

Color Systems

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and North America), PAL, and SECAM.

This DVD Player uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Playable Video Cassettes

The VCR of this DVD/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassettes that have the VHS mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.

The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture (video) and sound (audio) quality. You will not use all the jacks on the DVD/VCR.

If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In, RF In, or 75 ohm, use the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR to connect to the TV. This hookup provides both audio and video in a single cable. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 - the output channel of the DVD/VCR. This connection allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features. Details are on page eight.

If your television has Component Video In jacks (which could be labelled Y Cr Cb, Y Pr Pb, or YUV and may be green, blue, and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr) for the best picture quality. Set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR to INTERLACE. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available. To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its Component Video In channel. Details are on page 12. If your TV has Progressive Scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Out jacks of the DVD/VCR. Set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR on the DVD/VCR to PROGRESSIVE. Set your TV to Progressive Scan. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (480i) TV signals. When PROGRESSIVE is selected, no video will be sent from the VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT jacks.
If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available. To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its S-Video In channel. Details are on page 13.
If your TV has a single yellow Video In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or baseband), use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality. This connection provides a picture for both the DVD Player and the VCR. To see DVD or VCR features on the TV, set the TV to its Video In channel. Details are on page 11.
If you have a Stereo with a Coaxial Digital Audio In jack, this provides the clearest sound for the DVD Player. Connect the DVD/VCR's COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo for the best sound quality. If you use only this audio connection, only Disc sound (no VCR) will be available. Details are on page 15.
If digital audio connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR's red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. This connection provides sound for both the DVD Player and the VCR. Details are on pages 11-14.

Before you begin...

Refer to the manuals of your TV, Cable Box, Stereo, or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on the TV, Stereo, etc.
- Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

• Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or External In, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your TV owner's manual for details. If you do not see the DVD or VCR playback on the TV, go to the lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you see the DVD or VCR picture on the TV. Or, if your TV has only a single Antenna In jack and you are using the RF coaxial cable (as described on page eight), set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
  To help you find the right Audio/Video In channel, turn on the DVD/VCR. Press DVD to put the DVD/VCR in DVD mode. With no Disc in the Player, a large DVD Video logo will appear on the TV screen when you get the TV on the correct Audio/Video In channel or channel 3 or 4.
• Set the Stereo to the correct channel or "source" mode.
• Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables or adaptors. If your TV or monitor has BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.
• If you switch between PROGRESSIVE and INTERLACE when the power is on, the DVD/VCR will turn off. When you turn on the DVD Player again, the last selected scanning system will be active.
  To use the VCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-15. Follow the steps for the hookup you choose. Then, go to page 17 to complete the first-time setup.

8 Hookups (cont'd)

DVD/VCRToTVonly

Simplest connection using only the supplied black RF coaxial cable This connection will let you use the features of both the VCR and the DVD Player.

1 Disconnect the antenna or Cable TV signal from your TV and connect it to the ANT-IN (Antenna In) jack of your DVD/VCR.
2 Connect the supplied black RF coaxial cable to the ANT-OUT (Antenna Out) jack on the back of the DVD/VCR and to the ANTENNA IN JACK on the TV. The ANTENNA IN jack on the TV may be labelled TV IN, RF IN, 75 (ohm), or ANT-IN. See your TV owner's manual for assistance.
Plug in the power cords of the TV and the DVD/VCR.
4 Set your TV to channel 3 or 4. The DVD/VCR's output channel is 3 when you purchase it. So, set your TV to channel 3 when the DVD/VCR is new. If you cannot use channel 3 at your TV, you can change the DVD/VCR's output channel to channel 4. To do so, press the VCR button to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green VCR light will be on the front of the DVD/VCR. Insert a videotape and press PLAY to start playback. During playback, press and hold the (VCR) PLAY button on the front of the DVD/VCR for three to five seconds. Each time you do this, the DVD/VCR's output channel switches between 3 and 4. Change your TV to channel 3 or 4 accordingly. (You cannot change the DVD/VCR's output channel while adjusting tracking manually. Press STOP to stop play and cancel manual tracking, then press PLAY to resume play and change the output channel.) There is not a channel 3 / 4 switch on the DVD/VCR (as customary with most VCRs).
You are ready to turn on the DVD/VCR. Go to page 17 before turning on the DVD/VCR.

DVD/VCR to Cable Box or Satellite Receiver and TV

Using only basic RF coaxial cables

This connection will let you use the features of both the VCR and the DVD Player.

Connections

1 Connect a Cable TV or Satellite signal to the IN jack on the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.
2 Use an RF coaxial cable (as the one supplied) to connect the OUT jack on the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the ANT-IN (Antenna In) jack on the DVD/VCR.
3 Use a second RF coaxial cable to connect the ANT-OUT (Antenna Out) jack on the DVD/VCR to the TV's Antenna In jack.

Remember...

There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the DVD/VCR. With the connection on this page:

• Select TV channels at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, not the DVD/VCR. To record or view TV channels, follow these steps: 1) Press VCR to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green VCR light will appear on the front of the DVD/VCR.
  2) Press SKIP▶/CH▲ or SKIPI▶/CH▼ to set the DVD/VCR to the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel (03 or 04).

  button on the DVD/VCR for 3-5 seconds during tape playback. For more details, see step 4 on page 8.
  4) Select the channel you want to view/record at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.
• You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.
• You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the channel you want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel). (This is step 7 on page 38.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.
• If you use the VCR Plus+ Programming system, set the Cable/TV channel to 03 or 04 (Cable Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel in the VCR Plus+ Cross Reference Map. You must set the Cable Box/DBS to the channel you want to record; leave the Cable Box/DBS on for the timer recording. Details are on page 40.

Helpful Hint

• If your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver has Audio and Video Out jacks, use audio and video cables to connect them to the VCR AUDIO IN andVIDEO IN jacks on the rear of the DVD/OCR. You will not need the RF coaxial cable connection between the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver and the DVD/OCR as described at step 2.
