menu, access it by pressing DVD, then DISC/MENU on the remote control.
Details are on page 48.
DVD Player Setup Menu...

ture.

6 Playable Discs and Video Cassettes
Playable Discs
The DVD Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs); Audio Compact Discs (CDs); final-
ized 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.
Recordable
ReWritable
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 System s
DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com-
mon 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 sys-
tem. 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
mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and exces-
sive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if dam-
age occurs.
The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view
tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).

Hookups 7
Determ ining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the follow-
ing 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-
O UT 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 also could be labelled Y Cr Cb, Y Pr Pb,
or YUV and may be green, blue, and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y CR CB) for the
best picture quality.
If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available. To see DVD fea-
tures on the TV, set the TV to its Component Video In channel. Details are on page 12.
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.
Rem em ber...
# 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 low-
est 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.
# To use the VCR features, you m ust include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable
and red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.
O nce you determ ine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-15. Follow the specific steps for
the hookup you choose. After hooking up the DVD/VCR, go to page 17 to com plete the first-tim e
setup.

DVD/VCR. Insert a videotape and press PLAY B to start playback.
During playback, press and hold the (VCR) PLAY B 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 chan-
nel while adjusting tracking manually. Press STOP C to stop play and cancel
manual tracking, then press PLAY B 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 turn-
ing on the DVD/VCR.

nection between the Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver and the
DVD/VCR as described at step 2.
5) Press VCR/TV on the remote once to put the DVD/VCR in TV
position.
6) Select the channel you want to watch at the Cable

Multi-Channel Television Sound 45
Your DVD/VCR can play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from the left and right audio channels. Your DVD/VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio
(usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your DVD/VCR will play
tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.
Your DVD/VCR also will record a video cassette in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play that
tape on the DVD/VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with the stereo and second audio setups.Then fol-
low the directions on page 46 to record in stereo or second audio, or follow the directions on page 47 to
play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

62 MP3/JPEG Playback
The DVD Player will play MP3 or JPEG files that you record and
finalize on a CD-RW (Compact Disc-Rewritable) or CD-R
(Compact Disc-Recordable).
These Discs may contain pictures in a JPEG format or audio Tracks
in an MP3 format. For example, you may have photographic film
developed by a retailer that places the pictures on a CD-R for
you. These pictures may be in JPEG format.
Or, you may copy or download MP3 music files from certain legal
Internet sites, then copy those files onto a CD-R or CD-RW.
You cannot make or record such Discs using this DVD/VCR. See
your computer manual for details on recording.
Keep these characteristics in mind when making Discs you intend
to play on the DVD Player of this DVD/VCR.

Care and Maintenance 71
Cleaning the DVD/VCR
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the DVD/VCR with a soft,
slightly damp cloth.
• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene, or alcohol to clean the DVD/VCR. Do not
spray insecticide liquid near the DVD/VCR. Such chemicals may discolor the surface
or damage the DVD/VCR.
Cleaning a Disc
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the Disc.
• Wipe the Disc in a straight line from the center to the edge. Never wipe the Disc
in a circular motion.
• Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Handle the Discs so fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the Discs.
• Always store the Disc in its protective case when it is not in use.
Checking the Laser
• If the DVD/VCR does not operate as described in this manual, the DVD Player’s
laser may be dirty. Consult an Authorized Service Center for inspection and clean-
ing of the laser.
Caring for Video Cassettes
• Use only cassettes with the
mark.
• Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette before putting the
cassette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam the VCR.
Caring for the VCR’s Video Heads
• Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your DVD/VCR’s excellent perfor-
mance. The VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will
require replacement eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.

AUDIO IN/O UT Jacks: jacks on the front and back of the DVD/VCR that receive
audio from another source (IN) or send audio to another system (OUT). These jacks
are red (right) and white (left).
Autom atic Channel Setup: process in which the VCR memorizes all available TV
channels. Then, when you press SKIP i /CHo or SKIP j /CHp in VCR mode,
you only scan through channels you receive.
Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.
• Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF (ultra high frequen-
cy; channels 14-69).
• Cable – standard channels 1-125 can be received without a Cable Box.
Cable Box/DBS O utput Channel: 03 or 04.
CO AXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO O UT jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allow-
ing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo. This connection provides the 5.1 channel
surround sound as heard in movie theaters. This jack is black.
CO MPO NENT VIDEO O UT (Y, CR, CB) Jacks: jacks on the back of the
DVD/VCR that send high-quality DVD video to a TV with Component Video In jacks.
This connection provides the best picture quality for the DVD Player of the
DVD/VCR.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in
movie theaters.
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different
from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.
Dubbing: copying a video cassette using another VCR.
HQ : high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture
detail.
Line Input: The channel to which you set your DVD/VCR during video cassette
copying. If you connected the other video equipment to the AUDIO and VIDEO In

nance and the color. S-Video only provides a picture for the DVD Player of the
DVD/VCR.
Tape Speeds: how fast the video cassette travels during a recording or playback.
The faster the tape speed, the better the picture quality. Slower tape speeds affect
picture quality, but you can record more onto a videotape.
• SP (standard play) – fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approxi-
mately two hours); best picture quality.
• LP (long play) – average tape speed. You cannot record in LP with this VCR. If
tapes were recorded on a different VCR in LP speed, the tape will play in LP on
the DVD/VCR.
• SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is
approximately six hours). This speed allows the maximum recording on a single
videotape.
VIDEO IN/O UT Jacks: jacks on the front and back of the DVD/VCR that receive
video from another source (IN) or send video to other video equipment or a TV
(OUT). These jacks are yellow.
