or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and oper-
ating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the
product and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
11. Power Sources - This product should be
operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power sup-
ply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For prod-
ucts intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the op-

5. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments
not recommended by the product manu-
facturer as they may cause hazards.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This product
may be equipped with a polarized alter-
nating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to re-
place your obsolete outlet. Do not de-
feat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laun-
dry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories - Do not place this product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and seri-
ous damage to the product. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufac-
turer.
13. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the product.
14. Protective Attachment Plug - The prod-
uct is equipped with an attachment plug
having overload protection. This is a
safety feature. See Instruction Manual for
replacement or resetting of protective de-
vice. If replacement of the plug is re-
quired, be sure the service technician has
used a replacement plug specified by the
manufacturer that has the same overload
protection as the original plug.
9. A product and cart combi-
nation should be moved
with care. Quick stops, ex-
cessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
product and cart combina-
tion to overturn.
PORTABLE CART WARNING

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an out-
side antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with re-

gard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See figure
below:
20. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous volt-
age or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer ser-
vicing to qualified service personnel un-
der the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain
or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are cov-
ered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often re-
quire extensive work by a qualified tech-
nician to restore the product to its nor-
mal operation,
16. Lightning - For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power
lines surges.
e) If the product has been dropped or dam-
aged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance - this indicates a
need for service.
22. Replacement Parts - When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
17. Power Lines - An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, ex-
treme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
23. Safety Check - Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is
in proper operating condition.
18. Overloading - Do not overload wall out-
lets, extension cords, or integral conve-
nience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
19. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push ob-
jects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the prod-
uct.
25. Heat - The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Complete Program Record (CPR) adjusts the record speed to make sure the tape does not run out
before the Timer Recording is complete. With Record Speed set to “Auto,” the DVD+VCR will begin
recording in SP. It will then calculate how much time is remaining on the tape and adjust the record speed
to SLP if necessary. If there is not enough room to record the entire show, the DVD+VCR will record in SLP
until the end of the tape is reached.

SYMPTOM
SOLUTION(S)
Cannot access Setup menu.
• Stop the DVD player. You cannot access the
Setup menu while a disc is playing.
No sound from speakers.
• Connect the DVD+VCR to a Dolby Digital-ready
amplifier. You cannot connect speakers directly
to the analog audio outputs because the unit
does not have a built-in amplifier.
• Dolby Digital and/or DTS not enabled in the
menu system; see page 39.
TV only shows Go-Video screen.
• Connect the Composite and S-Video outputs to
separate inputs on your television. If your
television has one set of inputs for both S-Video
and Composite, then the S-Video will most
likely override the Composite input.
Cannot play other regional DVDs.
Cannot record on DVD deck.
• The DVD-VCR will play Region 1 encoded discs
only.
• The DVD deck does not allow recording.
Can I connect to surround sound system? • Yes, you can connect the DVD+VCR to an
audio/video receiver or amplifier using the
coaxial or optical digital outputs or analog
outputs.
What types of discs can I play?
• DVD Video, CD Digital Audio, CD Video, SVCD
and CD-ROM with MP3 tracks.
Picture has black bars.
• Make sure your TV Aspect Ratio is set properly
to 4:3 or 16:9; see page 51.

DVD may not offer a 4:3 full-screen version.
Auto Setup did not find all channels.
No picture.

the DVD+VCR will only find the cable box
output channel. Use the alternative cable box
hookup on page 42.
• Press TV/VCR until the VCR indicator lights on
the front panel display.
• Set Channel Switch to channel 4.
