you do not need a cable box to view

unscrambled cable channels.

Plug the incoming cable

into the VHF/UHF

antenna terminal on back

of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descram bles All Channels

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT OUT,” “VHF OUT,” or simply,

“OUT.”

terminal on the splitter

and the A–IN terminal on

the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last coaxial

cable between the OUT

terminal on the RF (A/B)

switch and the VHF/UHF

terminal on the rear of

the TV.

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal view-

ing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the

A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is

usually channel 3 or 4.)

Connecting a Second VCR to Record from

the TV

Your TV can send out signals of its picture and sound to be recorded by a second

VCR.

To do this, connect your second VCR as follows:

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the VCR and the antenna terminal on the TV.

A coaxial cable is usually included with a VCR. (If not, check your local electronics store).

Connect a set of audio cables between the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV and the VIDEO/AUDIO IN jacks

on the VCR.

(The VCR input jacks might be either on the front or on back of the VCR.)

If you have a mono VCR, connect L(mono) to VCR audio out using only one audio cable.

Refer to your VCR’s instructions for more information about how to record using this kind of connection.

systems. Contact your local cable company to identify the type

of cable system that exists in your particular area.

At this point the signal source has been selected. Proceed to

“Storing Channels in Memory” (next page).

DVD OPERATIO N

In the case of CD-R MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above,

plus the comments below:

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

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 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 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3" as the file

extension.

General name format of: Title.mp3. 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 includ-

ing: (.,/,\,=,+).

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps 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 (conver-

sion to MP3 format) of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher

rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with sam-

pling rates below 128 Kbps 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 Media (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and

SDMI (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

• Your DVD player only accepts one level of file directory.

Consequently you must choose:

- either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc;

- and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g.classical, rock, jazz,

etc)

• Important:

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play

MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technolo-

gies 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).

• This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.

analog outputs. (Discs which are recorded with PCM or DTS will not

work.) 3D Sound is possible only on discs recorded using DOLBY SUR-

ROUND or DOLBY DIGITAL. However, some of these discs do not con-

tain rear channel sound signals.

Depending on the disc, the 3D Sound function may not work.

be considered a title.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your 3Way

Com bination Unit

With proper care, your 3way combination unit will give you many years of service.

Please follow these guidelines to get the maximum performance from your 3way combi-

nation.

Placem ent

•

Do not place the 3way combination near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.

Do not place the 3way combination near appliances with electric motors that create

magnetic fields, such as vacuum cleaners.

•

Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the 3way combination on a soft sur-

face, such as cloth or paper.

Place the 3way combination in a vertical position only.

Liquids

•

Do not handle liquids near or on the 3way combination. Liquids that spill into it can

cause serious damage.

Cabinet

•

Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.

Wipe your 3way combination with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning flu-

ids, wax, or chemicals.

•

Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.

Tem perature

•

If your 3way combination is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug

the power cord, and allow at least two hours for moisture that may have formed

inside the unit to dry completely.

Using Your 3Way Com bination Unit in

Another Country

If you plan to take your 3way combination with you to a foreign country, please be

aware of the different television systems that are in use around the world. A 3way combi-

nation designed for one system may not work properly with another system due to dif-

ferences in the 3way combination channel frequencies

Learning About Video Cassette Tapes

Choosing the Proper Tapes

Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS with this VCR. Choose good quality tapes for

best results.

Caring for Video Cassette Tapes

•

Keep the tapes away from direct sunlight, heat or extreme cold.

Insert tapes with the window side up and the arrow pointing away from you.

Do not subject tapes to violent vibrations or shocks.

Never try to take apart or splice a video tape.

Do not open the cassette, touch the tape, or put anything inside the video tape

cartridge.

•

Read the instructions supplied with a video tape

Choosing the Correct Recording Speed

Your VCR is equipped with variable tape speed. You can play or record a tape at:

•

SP (Standard Play)—the fastest speed,

SLP (Super Long Play)—the slowest speed.

When you are playing a tape, your VCR automatically selects the proper speed, even if

segments of the tape have been recorded at a different speed.

When you are recording, the slower the tape speed you use, the longer the tape runs and

the more program material it holds. SP provides the clearest record/playback picture, but

special effects such as still picture work best in the SLP mode.

Use this chart to determine which tape speed to select when you are recording:

Using the Record Safety Tab

Most video cassette tapes have a safety tab that prevents accidental erasure. The safety

tab is on the end of the tape opposite from where the arrow points.

The tab must be intact to

record. You can record over

and over on the same tape as

long as the tab is intact. If

you want to protect a tape

from accidental erasure,

break off the tab with a

screwdriver, as shown here.

If you wish to erase a record-

ed tape or to record on a cas-

sette with the tab removed,

cover the hole with cello-

phane tape.

Sending Tapes to Another Country

Because various TV standards are used throughout the world, we recommend that you

check for compatibility before sending your tapes to a foreign country. Tapes made on

machines sold in the U.S.A. can be played back only on units that use the NTSC

television system.
