Title (DVD only)  
Disc-related terms  
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.  
For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-  
mentary describing how the film was made could be  
title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title  
is assigned a reference number enabling you to  
locate it easily.  
DVD R / DVD RW  
DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for  
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows  
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only  
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for  
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be  
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold  
4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as  
much. There are no double layer single sided record-  
able discs.  
Chapter (DVD only)  
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a  
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is  
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate  
the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-  
ters may not be recorded.  
VCD (Video CD)  
A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80  
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video  
along with quality stereo sound.  
Scene (VCD)  
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,  
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-  
tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the  
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling  
you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-  
posed of one or several tracks.  
MPEG  
MPEG is an international standard for video and  
audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding  
video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround  
sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and  
MPEG audio.  
Track  
A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as  
the picture or sound track for a specific language  
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.  
Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you  
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one  
track of video (with multiple angles) and several  
tracks of audio.  
MP3  
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital  
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.  
WMA  
Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-  
ing developed by Microsoft Corp.  
JPEG  
Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed  
file format that allows you to save images with no  
limit on the number of colors.  
DivX  
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec  
which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression  
standard for video.You will be able to play DivX  
movies using this DVD player.  
PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)  
Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) ver-  
sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with  
the system via menus, search functions, or other typi-  
cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures  
of high resolution can be played if they are included  
in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC  
(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

TUNING  
SETUP  
This DVD+VCR is equipped with a frequency synthe-  
sized tuner capable of receiving up to 181 channels.  
These include VHF channels 2-13, UHF channels  
14-69 and CATV channels 1-125.  
Auto Channel Programming  
FUNCTION OSD  
The on-screen display can be turned on or off.  
AUDIO MODE  
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback sys-  
tems, 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.  
1. Choose the SOURCE SELECT option, then use  
b/B to select TUNER.  
Use b/B to switch among TUNER, LINE1, and LINE2.

channels (TV/CATV) in the area and place them in  
the tuner’s memory.  
BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)  
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo  
and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual sig-  
nals. 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 broad-  
casts, changing the display to mono may give clearer  
sound.  
• After the AUTO CHANNEL SET is complete, the  
TUNING menu will hide and return to the TV screen  
automatically.  
3. Make sure the TUNING BAND is set appropriately  
(TV or CATV).  
• TV : If you are using a standard antenna to receive  
channels.  
• CATV : If you are using basic cable to receive  
channels.

soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-  
tation 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). This allows  
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-  
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
