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.
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.

FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or off.
- FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by pressing ◀/▶.
LANGUAGE SELECT
The on-screen programming of this DVD+VCR can be displayed in either English, Spanish, or French.
- LANGUAGE SELECT 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 ◀/▶.
4 Press MENU when finished.

A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo audio system is required for true stereo playback. To experience the full and rich stereo sound available with Hi-Fi recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of this unit to a home stereo audio system.
1 Set the AUDIO MODE option to HI-FI on the SETUP menu.
2 Set the AUDIO OUTPUT option to STEREO position.
(STEREO) POSITION: The left channel sound (L) is heard from the left speaker and the right channel sound (R) is heard from the right speaker.
(LEFT) POSITION: The left channel sound (L) is heard from both speakers.
(RIGHT) POSITION: The right channel sound (R) is heard from both speakers.
3 Press MENU.
4 Insert a cassette and press PLAY (▷). Adjust volume at your stereo system.
MTS (Multi-Channel TV Sound)
This DVD+VCR will decode MTS stereo and bilingual (SAP) off-the-air broadcast sound signals. It also decodes stereo TV sound from local cable companies, as long as they operate on assigned cable frequencies and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilingual TV sound system.
Multichannel TV Sound Indicator (MTS)
Shows onscreen as illustrated below when SELECT/ENTER is pressed.
- One or both of the indicators will light, depending on the MTS broadcast.
If only STEREO appears on the TV screen.

If only SAP appears on the TV screen.
Set the BROADCAST TYPE option to SAP.
If STEREO/SAP appears on the TV screen
Use the BROADCAST TYPE option to select the desired recording mode (STEREO or SAP).
SAP (Second Audio Program) Recording

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:
- Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA)
- Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 32 - 128kbps (WMA)
- CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
- 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.
- 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.
- File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate ".mp3" or ".wma" extension e.g. "*******.MP3" or "*******.WMA".
- Do not use special letters such as "/ : * ? " <> " etc.
- Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.
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 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.

- 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+VCR. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
