This cable will connect directly tothe connector marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.TipsIf your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,connect it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.INconnector. The Adaptor does not screw on to theDVD+VCR, it just slips over the connector.Without Cable BoxIf your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converteror descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attachit to the ANT.IN connector on the VCR. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the VCR’s VHF/UHF/CATVconnector and the 75 ohm antenna input connector on the TV.With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band,and hyperband channels.With Cable BoxIf a converter is required in your cable system, follow theinstruction below:The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR operation. To view or record CATV channel1Set the TV channel to the video output channel as locatedon the back of the DVD+VCR (CH3 or CH4).2Set the VCR channel selector to the output channel of theCable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRACK (▲/▼)ornumber (0-9) of your VCR.

32Operation with MP3 DiscNotes on MP3 DiscsAbout MP3An MP3 file is audio data compressed by usingMPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We callfiles that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.The DVD+VCR can not read an MP3 file that has afile extension other than “.mp3”.The DVD+VCR can not read a fake MP3 file that hasa file extension “.mp3”.MP3 disc compatible with this DVD+VCR islimited as follows:1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”4. If you record MP3 files using the software whichcannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. Wetherefore recommend that you use “Easy-CDCreator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the firsttrack. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3files, format all the data in the disc or use a newone.6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Pleaseuse finished CD-R discs only.7. File names should be named using 8 letters or lessand must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.MP3”.8. Do not use special letters such as “_?!><+*}{`[@]:;\/.,” etc.9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than256.10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), Do not use 80minute CD-R (700M) softwareThis DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimalplayback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automaticallyset to these standards. There are many different typesof recordable disc formats (including CD-R containingMP3 files).Customers should also note that permission is requiredin order to download MP3 files and music from theInternet. Our company has no right to grant such per-mission. Permission should always be sought from thecopyright owner.Playing an MP3 discThe DVD+VCR can play MP3 format recordings on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3Recordings to the left.11Insert an MP3 disc and close the tray.The MP3 menu appears on the TV screen.MP3 menu22Press vv/VVto select the directory containing thetrack that you want to play.33Press SELECT/ENTER and press vv/VVto selectthe desird track. 44Press SELECT/ENTER or PLAY.Playback starts.
