Before Use (Cont’d)
Handling the unit
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 packed at the factory.
When setting the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs

Connections
Without Cable Box
Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD+VCR. Use only one of the connections described
below.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s
DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/ video equipment. See
“Connecting to optional equipment” on page 14.
Caution
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD
image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
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 connector on the VCR. Use the supplied round
coaxial cable to connect between the VCR’s VHF/UHF/CATV
connector 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 Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the
instruction below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channel
1 Set the TV channel to the video output channel as located
on the back of the DVD+VCR (CH3 or CH4).
2 Set the VCR channel selector to the output channel of the
Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRACK (▲/▼) or
number (0-9) of your VCR. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

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.IN
connector. The Adaptor does not screw on to the
DVD+VCR, it just slips over the connector.

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.

Notes on MP3 Discs
Playing an MP3 disc
About MP3
The DVD+VCR can play MP3 format recordings on CDROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3
Recordings to the left.
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using
MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The DVD+VCR can not read an MP3 file that has a
file extension other than “.mp3”.
The DVD+VCR can not read a fake MP3 file that has
a file extension “.mp3”.
Insert an MP3 disc and close the tray.
The MP3 menu appears on the TV screen.
MP3
Program
ABCD
MP3 disc compatible with this DVD+VCR is
limited as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps
CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., 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 cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
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 “.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 than
256.
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.
