Connections

Connecting DVD-VCR to the TV using the RF Cable

To receive television programmes a signal must be received from one of the following sources:

• An outdoor aerial
• An indoor aerial
  • A cable television network
  • A satellite receiver

Note

- Make sure that both the television and the DVD-VCR are switched off before connecting the cables.

1 Remove the aerial or network input cable from the television.
2 Connect this cable to the 75Ω coaxial jack marked — on the rear of your DVD-VCR.
3 Plug the RF Cable supplied into TV the jack on your DVD-VCR.
4 Plug the other end of the RF Cable into the connector previously used for the aerial on the television.

Connecting DVD-VCR to the TV using the Audio/Video Cable

You can connect your DVD-VCR to the television using the Audio/Video cable if the appropriate input is available on the television. You thus:

• Obtain better quality sound and pictures
• Simplify the setting up procedure of your DVD-VCR

Note

• Regardless of the type of connection chosen, you must always connect the RF Cable supplied. Otherwise, no picture will be visible on the screen when the DVD-VCR is switched off.
  • Make sure that both the television and the DVD-VCR are switched off before connecting the cables.

1 Connect the RF Cable.

2 Connect one end of the Audio/Video cable to the Video output and Audio L, R output jack on the rear of the DVD-VCR.

3 Plug the other end into the appropriate connector on the television.

Connecting DVD-VCR to the TV using the S-Video Cable (DVD only)

You will enjoy high quality images. S-Video separates the picture element into black and white(Y) and colour(C) signals to present clearer images than regular video input mode.

1 Connect one end of the S-Video cable into the S-VIDEO output jack on the rear of the DVD-VCR.
2 Plug the other end of the S-Video cable into the appropriate input connector on the television.
3 Connect one end of the audio cables supplied into the AUDIO LINE output jacks on the rear of the DVD-VCR.

CD-R MP3/WMA discs

When playing CD-R/MP3 or WMA discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below:

Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128Kbps when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression /decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128Kbps and up to 160Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128Kbps will not be played properly.

Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files. Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression /decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.

Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTek (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (Registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

Important :

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).
