Introduction 5  
W elcom e!  
This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into  
one unit, allowing you to play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and video cassette tapes from one  
piece of equipment. The DVD Player of this DVD/VCR will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer  
sound, and endless playback features available on DVDs. Expanding technology allows you to add options to  
your viewing - watch a directors cut of a movie, listen to the producers comments, or play your favorite  
scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibili-  
ties are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.  
When playing Audio CDs, determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeat-  
edly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.  
We hope you enjoy this DVD/VCR and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD/VCR,

Region Codes  
DVDs also must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to be played on  
this DVD/VCR. You can not play Discs that are labelled for other regions.  
Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on

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 Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD players with  
the same region code. For example, if a Disc is labelled for Region 2, you can not play  
the DVD on this DVD/VCR.  
Color System s  
Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color  
systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America,  
PAL, and SECAM.  
This DVD/VCR uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must  
be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats.  
The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc jacket.

46 MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound) System  
VCR  
Your DVD/VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear  
sound from two sources. 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 record-  
ed in monaural (single-source) sound as well.  
Your DVD/VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on  
the DVD/VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.  
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your DVD/VCRs stereo and second audio  
setups. Then follow the directions on page 47 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on  
page 48 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.  
Understanding O n-Screen Displays  
When you receive a signal from a channel youre watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below  
will appear when you press the DISPLAY/STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.  
The indication 2ND AUD or TV  
STEREO that appears on this side of  
the status display tells you if your  
DVD/VCR is programmed to receive a  
second audio or stereo broadcast (it  
cannot be programmed to receive  
both at the same time).  
The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO  
that appears on this side of the status

To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The  
quick play mechanism allows the tape mechanism to switch from Stop mode to Play mode in one second.  
Direct Broadcast System Hookups  
Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You  
may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS.  
With many DBS hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your DVD/VCR to  
your TV, you will have to put your DVD/VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).  
Line Input m ode  
If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen  
briefly), press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.  
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound  
During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is nor-  
mal.

to connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV,  
and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode.  
When you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on  
your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the status display indicates you are  
receiving a stereo signal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal. Details are on page 46.  
Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will  
play back in monaural audio.  
Cleaning the Video Heads  
Your DVD/VCR automatically cleans the video heads of the VCR each time you insert a tape. However,  
the heads may become dirty. If so, use a commercially-available head cleaner or have an authorized ser-  
vicer clean the video heads. Eventually, the heads may need to be replaced.  
The playback picture is too dim , too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.  
Some programs may be broadcast with copyright protection technology in order to protect the rights of  
copyright owners. This technology is used on programs that are recorded on video tapes or Digital  
Video Discs (DVDs), as well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels.  
Programs broadcast with copyright protection technology may not record clearly. Likewise, if you play a  
tape that is a recording of a copyright protected program, the picture may not be clear. Tapes of copy-  
right protected programs may have a picture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may  
fluctuate. Therefore, you should avoid recording or playing copies of copyright protected programs.  
This DVD/VCR incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of cer-  
tain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other

82 Glossary

audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another system (OUT).  
Autom atic Channel Setup: process in which the DVD/VCR memorizes all available TV channels. Then,  
when you press the CHANNEL o/p buttons, 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 frequency; channels 14-69).  
Cable all standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.  
Cable Box/DBS O utput Channel: 03 or 04.  
CD: Compact Disc (audio)  
Coaxial jack: Used to send digital audio to a decoder or amplifier, allowing you to adjust the volume at  
the decoder or amplifier. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie the-  
aters.  
CO MPO NENT VIDEO O UT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the DVD/VCR which are used to  
send high-quality video to a TV with Component Video In jacks.  
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 tape using another VCR.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Fram e: a still picture.  
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 tape dubbing. If you use the  
AUDIO and VIDEO In jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, select channel 002 (AV FRONT). If you use the  
AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the DVD/VCR, select 001 (AV REAR). If you accidentally enter  
Line Input mode, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another chan-  
nel.  
O PTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO O UT Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending  
the audio to the amplifier. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise,  
which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when  
the jack is not being used. This keeps dust out of the jack.  
O TR: One-Touch Recording; a timed recording on the VCR that starts immediately and records for 30  
minutes to eight hours.  
Rem ote Control: the small unit that came with your DVD/VCR; allows you to operate your DVD/VCR  
from a distance.

(or Cable Box or DBS). The supplied cable is a snap-on type. However, you may use a screw-on type if you  
prefer.  
Special Effects: forward and reverse searching; a still picture; slow motion playback.  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you  
connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable.  
Tape Speeds: how fast the video cassette tape travels during a recording or playback.  
SP (standard play) fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately two hours);  
best picture quality.  
LP (long play) average tape speed; playback only.  
SLP (super long play) slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately six hours).  
VCR: video cassette recorder.  
VIDEO IN/O UT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the DVD/VCR which are used to receive  
video from another source (IN) or to send video to another system (OUT).
