Playable Discs and Video Cassettes
Region Codes
This DVD/VCR has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL
regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the 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 DVD
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 DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same
region code.
Color Systems
DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world.The most com-
mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and North
America), PAL, and SECAM.
This DVD Player will play both NTSC and PAL DVDs.You cannot play DVDs recorded
in other formats.The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the
Disc case.Your TV must have the NTSC and/or PAL color system as well.
Playable Video Cassettes
The VCR of this DVD/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with
existing Video Home 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).

Hookups
7
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 eight.
★★★★ 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/PB CR/PR) jacks.
Set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu.
See pages 64-65. 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 to OFF either in the
DISPLAY menu or by pressing and holding the PLAY
B (DVD) button on the front of the DVD/VCR for
more than five seconds.
See pages 12 and 64-65.
★★★ 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 13.
★★ 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
11.
★★★★ 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 15.
★★★ 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 11-14.
Before you begin...
● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Cable Box, Stereo, or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and con-
nectors 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, EXT
1 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 (0
1 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 eight), 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.
● If you set Progressive Scan on or off when the power is on, the DVD/VCR will turn off.When you turn on the
DVD Player again, the last selected scanning system will be active.
● To use the VCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and
red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-
15. Follow the steps for the hookup
you choose.Then, go to page
17 to complete the first-time setup.

ally, 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 fol-
low the directions on page 46 to record in stereo or second audio, or follow the directions on page 47 to
play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

sound if you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on
your TV, and if the TV is on its Audio/Video In channel. See your TV owner’s manual for details.
• 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. If the status display indicates you are receiving stereo, you
are.
Details are on page 45.
• Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play in Hi-Fi audio.Tapes recorded in normal audio will play in
monaural (single-channel) 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, have an authorized servicer 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 cassettes or DVDs, as
well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels. Programs broadcast with
copyright protection 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 copyright protected programs may have a pic-
ture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may fluctuate.Therefore, avoid recording or play-
ing copies of copyright protected programs.

a circular motion.
• Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

laser may be dirty. Consult an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning
of the laser.
Caring for Video Cassettes

mance.The VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will
require replacement eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.
