Precautions  
Storing discs  
After playing, store the disc in its case.  
Handling the unit  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of  
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-  
light, as there may be a considerable temperature  
increase inside the car.  
When shipping the unit  
The original shipping carton and packing materials  
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the  
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.  
Cleaning discs

Connections  
Without Cable Box  
ips  
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter  
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach  
it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round  
coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT  
jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this  
connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and  
hyperband channels.  
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to  
connect, there are various ways you could connect the  
DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-14.  
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo  
System or other devices as necessary to make the best  
connections.  
Caution

Connections (Continued)  
Speaker System Connections  
Speaker Positioning  
For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,  
center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).  
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords  
by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the  
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,  
adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).  
Front Speakers  
Based on your listening position, set up the speakers  
at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an  
interval between speakers of 45 degree.  
otes  
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate  
terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If  
the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted  
and lack bass.  
Center Speaker  
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers  
are same height. But normally place it above or below  
the television as shown below.  
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-  
ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive  
volume output to the speakers.  
Rear Speakers  
Place left and right behind the listening area. These  
speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere  
required for surround playback. For best results, do  
not install the rear speakers too far behind the listen-  
ing position, install them at or above the level of the  
listeners ears. It is also effective to direct the rear  
speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse  
the sound.  
Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

Before Operation - Sound Mode Descriptions  
Mini Glossary for Sound Mode  
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the  
trademark such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transpar-  
ent audio (which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360  
degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS  
Technology, LLC.  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital  
program source. If you play DVDs with “  
mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial  
accuracy, and improved dynamic range.  
When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small  
concert hall.  
When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large  
concert hall.  
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of movie theater.  
II  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an  
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without  
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes:  
PROLOGIC Emulation mode:  
The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case  
the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more as it used to be.”  
When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no Pro Logic Imode. The Pro Logic emula-  
tion mode is optional.  
MOVIE mode:  
Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is  
enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.  
MUSIC mode:  
Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music  
mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.  
VIRTUAL mode:  
Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However, there  
might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers, Movie  
mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process developed  
by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only Pro Logic IIso the Virtual name can be  
reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself.  
MATRIX mode:  
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It  
may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem larger.The Matrix mode may also find use in auto  
systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals  
from a logic decoder. The ultimate curefor poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.  
SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO)  
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources  
completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right  
speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control.

Surround delay time setting  
This control allows the user to gradually adjust the  
sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can  
be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all  
the speakers with certain recordings that may contain  
either too much or too little spatial effect. Step 0is the  
recommended setting, which has no effect on the  
sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-  
ward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards  
the surrounds.  
If the distance of DS is equal to or longer than the DF in  
the above figure, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms.  
Otherwise, change the setting according to the below.

the tuners memory.  
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, 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.  
AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and  
NORMAL by using b/B.  
After the AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH PROCEED-  
ING is complete, make sure the CHANNEL  
SOURCE is set appropriately (TV or CATV) by  
pressing v/V and choosing the correct CHAN-  
NEL SOURCE (TV or CATV) by using b/B using  
the CHANNEL SETUP menu.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)  
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or  
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. 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 broadcasts, changing the dis-  
play to mono may give clearer sound.  
Remember, TV is for the air antenna reception,  
CATV is for cable or wireless cable connection.

Use CH/TRK (v/V) or CH/PRESET (v/V) on the

BROADCAST TYPE can be switched among STEREO, SAP,  
and MONO by using b/B.  
TO ADD OR ERASE CHANNELS FROM MEMORY  
This feature allows you to add or erase channels from  
memory manually.  
AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)  
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is  
in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the  
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.  
This display setting should normally be left in the stereo posi-  
tion, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will  
be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is  
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono  
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.  
AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched among STEREO, LEFT,  
and RIGHT by using b/B.

About MP3  
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using  
MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the .mp3file extension MP3 files.  
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file  
extension other than .mp3.  
The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a  
file extension .mp3.  
Video Mode Setting DVD  
With certain discs, the playback picture may be flick-  
ering or Dot Crawl is shown on straight lines. That  
means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not  
perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the  
picture quality may be improved by changing the  
video mode.  
MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-  
ed as follows:  
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz  
2. Bit rate/ within 32 - 320kbps  
To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY  
about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video  
mode number selected is displayed on the TV screen.  
Check whether the video quality has improved. If not,  
repeat the above procedure until picture quality is  
improved.  
3. CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660”  
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which  
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example Direct-  
CDetc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We  
therefore recommend that you use Easy-CD  
Creator, which creates an ISO9660 file system.  
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first  
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-  
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3  
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new  
one.  
Video mode change sequence:  
MODE1 MODE2 MODE3 MODE4 →  
MODE5 MODE1  
If you turn off the power, video mode will revert to  
initial state (MODE1).  
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please  
use finished CD-R discs only.  
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less  
and must incorporate the .mp3extension  
e.g. ********.MP3.  
8. Do not use special characters such as  
_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,etc.  
9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than  
200.  
10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80  
minute CD-R (700M) software.  
This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet  
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal  
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically  
set to these standards. There are many different types  
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing  
MP3 files).  
Customers should also note that permission is  
required in order to download MP3 files and music  
from the Internet. Our company has no right to  
grant such permission. Permission should always  
be sought from the copyright owner.
