ABOUT THE PBC FUNCTION OF VIDEO CD
This unit can play Video CD 1.1 (without PBC) and 2.0 (with PBC).
With version 2.0 (with PBC), you can use interactive menu (e.g., playlists) on the TV screen.
When playing a Video CD with PBC, some operations cannot be performed unless the PBC function is
cancelled temporarily. See page 40 for more details.
Region Codes
DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this 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 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 disc encoded in a specific region format can only play on DVD players with the same region code. For

System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassettes that have the mark. The use of other tapes may
result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the
warranty if damage occurs.
The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow
speed (SLP).

8 Hookups
Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. These guidelines describe
which options have the best picture and sound 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-OUT 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. See page 9.
★★★★ If your TV has Component Video In jacks (which could be labelled Y CR CB,Y PR PB or YUV and may be
green, blue and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y C
B/PB
CR/PR) for the best 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 Component Video In channel. Component Video provides the best picture quality. See page 12.
Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i or interlace)
TV signals.
If your TV has Progressive Scan (525p/480p or progressive), connect the TV to the DVD/VCR’s
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y C
B

) jacks. Set Progressive Scan (PROG. SCAN) to ON in the
DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu. See pages 60-61.P.SCAN will appear on the DVD/VCR’s display panel. Set your TV to
Progressive Scan also
.
If your TV does not have Progressive Scan but has Component Video In jacks, connect them to
the DVD/VCR’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y C
B/PB CR/PR). Set
Progressive Scan (PROG. SCAN)
to
OFF either in the DISPLAY menu or by pressing and holding PLAY B (DVD) on the front of the DVD/VCR
for more than 5 seconds. See pages 60-61.
★★★ If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-VIDEO OUT 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. See page 12.
★★ If your TV has a single yellow Video In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite or baseband), use
the yellow DVD/VCR VIDEO OUT 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. See
page 10.
★★★★ 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. See page 14.
★★★ 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. See pages 12-13.
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 power only after you have finished
hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to power.
Remember...
● 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 zero (0). Or, your TV’s remote may
have a button or switch that selects the Video Input channel. See your TV manual for details. If you do not see the
DVD or VCR playback on the TV, go to the lowest 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 9), 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. If your TV or monitor has
BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.
● To use the VCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and
red/white audio cable or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-14. Follow the steps for the hookup
you choose. Then, go to page 16 to complete the first-time setup.

playback may stop. In such cases,
remove the disc and turn off the
DVD/VCR. Disconnect the power
cord, then reconnect it. Clean the
disc, then turn on the DVD/VCR
again and reinsert the disc for
playback.
• If a disc has multiple layers, the
picture may freeze occasionally. This

described on pages 12-13. You will use the red and white AUDIO OUT jacks
on the DVD/VCR.
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 on 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 follow the directions
below to record in stereo or second audio, or to play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

If SAP is ON but the program is not
broadcast in Second Audio, you will
hear and record the program in
normal audio.
•
Programs are recorded in both Hi-Fi
stereo sound and in monaural (single-
channel) sound.
•
The audio level of a tape recorded in
Hi-Fi stereo will differ from the audio
