Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
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 packaged at the factory.
When setting up 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.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or 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, 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
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on 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 sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-14.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
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/VCR AUDIO OUT
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio

Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords
by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,
adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).
Note
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and
lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-
ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
volume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied
speakers.
Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers
(2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and
subwoofer).
If you want to hear deeper bass sound, DTS digital sur-
round or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect an
optional active subwoofer (has its own built-in amplifier).
•Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speak-
ers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up
the interval between speakers at 45 degree.
•Center speaker
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers
are same height. But normally place it above or below
the television as shown below.
•Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These
speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere
required for surround playback. For best results, do
not install the rear speakers too far behind the listen-
ing position, install them at or above the level of the
listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear
speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse
the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is
near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite
each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm
above the listener’s ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Sound Mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the
trademark such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transpar-
ent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360
degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS
Technology, LLC.
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital
program source. If you play DVDs with “” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial
accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small
concert hall.
When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large
concert hall.
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of movie theater.
(II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
PROLOGIC mode:
The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case
the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more “as it used to be.”
When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no “Pro Logic I” mode. The Pro Logic emula-
tion mode is optional. Dolby does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm.
However, if the DSP contains the original Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is
quite acceptable and even encouraged. A product must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emula-
tion mode.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result
is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The
Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.
VIRTUAL mode:
The Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However,
there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers,
Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process
developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only “Pro Logic II” so the Virtual name
can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It
may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto
systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals
from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.
SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO)
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources
completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right
speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY-PASS on the remote control.

Delay Time Setting
In Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic mode it is assumed
that the distance from the listener to each of the speak-
ers is equal. If not then setting the delay times of the
center or rear speakers the sound will be heard simulta-
neously by the listener.
The interval from the speakers to the listener. If the dis-
tance from the listener to each speakers is same, in the
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode the delay time
of each speakers is as following.
In Dolby Digital mode
Center delay time : 0ms
Rear delay time: 5ms
In Dolby Pro Logic mode
Center delay time : cannot setting
Rear delay time : 15-30ms
If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, in the
Dolby Pro Logic mode the delay time will be automatical-
ly set.
The delay time is 1 msec per 30 cm.
If the center and rear speakers are further than the front
speakers from the listener, the delay time will be at min-
imum.
Surround delay time setting
If the distance of DSis equal to or longer than the DFin
the left figure, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms.
Otherwise, change the setting according to the below.
Ex) If the distance from front speakers to the listener is
3 m and from rear speakers from the listener is 1.5 m,
in the Dolby Digital mode the rear delay time is 5 msec.
3m (DF) - 1.5m (DS) = 1.5m (B)
1.5m (B) = 150cm / 30cm = 5msec
In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time):
PROROGIC: 10 ~ 25msec
MOVIE: 10 ~ 25msec
MUSIC: 0 ~ 15msec
VIRTUAL: cannot setting
MATRIX: 0 ~ 15msec
Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only)
If the distance of DF is equal to the distance of DC in
the left figure, set the Center Delay Time as 0ms.
Otherwise, change the setting according to the table
below.
Ex) If the distance from the front speakers to the listen-
er is 3m and from the center speaker to the listener is
2.4m, the center delay time is 2msec.
3m (DF) - 2.4m (DC) = 60cm (A)
60cm (A) / 30cm = 2msec
Setting the delay time in the Dolby
Digital and Dolby Pro Logic (II) mode
11
Press DELAY.
The current surround delay time appears in the dis-
play window.
You can select center delay time by pressing b/Bin
the Dolby Digital mode only.
22
Press vv/VVto change the delay time.
33
If setting is complete, press DELAY.
Notes
You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital
mode and its delay time appears.
Center Width (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi-
tioned between the center speaker and the left/right
speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a
combination of all three front speakers to give the best
vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen-
tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step
“0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step
“7” places all center sound equally in the left/right
speakers, just as in conventional stereo.
DIMENSE (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control allows the user to gradually adjust the
soundfield either towards the front or the rear. This can
be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all
the speakers with certain recordings that may contain
either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the
recommended setting, which has no effect on the
sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-
ward, and steps –1, –2, and –3 move the sound
towards the surrounds.
PANORAMA (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound”
effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective
for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel
elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen-
tuated by the Panorama process.

AUDIO MODE
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the
high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono
system. The same audio is generally recorded on both
systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and
right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural
sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can
be played on a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and
NORMAL by pressing b/B.
BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to
the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are
received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the
DVD+VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving
mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For
normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position.
The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when available,
and record a mono program IF the program is NOT IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the dis-

sound system for recording and playback. The informa-
tion below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and
how to record and play a tape in the Hi-Fi audio mode.
Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo
audio system is required for true stereo playback. To
experience the full and rich stereo sound available with
Hi-Fi recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of
this unit to a home stereo audio system.
11

This DVD+VCR will decode MTS stereo and bilingual
(SAP) off-the-air broadcast sound signals. It also
decodes stereo TV sound from local cable companies,
as long as they operate on assigned cable frequencies
and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilingual TV
sound system.
Multichannel TV Sound Indicator (MTS)
Shows Onscreen as illustrated below when
SELECT/ENTER is pressed.
One or both of the indicators will light, depending on the
MTS broadcast.
If only STEREO appears on the TV screen.

is used for a second language or additional information.
When the station broadcasts a Second Audio Program,
follow the procedure below to record the SAP.
11
Insert a video cassette with the safety tab intact.

even if you remove the disc from the player or switch off
the player. If you load a disc that has its settings memo-
rized, the latest stop position is automatically recalled.
Notes
–Settings are stored in memory for use any time.
–This player does not memorize settings of a disc if
you switch off the player before commencing to play
it.
Screen Saver
The screen saver picture appears when you leave the
DVD+VCR in stop mode for about five minutes.
After the Screen Saver has been engaged for about five
minutes, the DVD+VCR will automatically turn itself off.
Video Mode Setting
With certain discs, the playback picture may be flick-
ering or Dot Crawl is shown on straight lines. That
means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not
perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the
picture quality may be improved by changing the
video mode.
To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY
about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video
mode number selected is displayed on the TV screen.
Check whether the video quality has improved. If not,
repeat the above procedure until picture quality is
improved.
Video mode change sequence:
MODE1 → MODE2 →MODE3 →MODE4 →
MODE5 → MODE1
If you turn off the power, the video mode will be back
to initial state (MODE1).
Notes on MP3 Discs
About MP3
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 player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a
file extension “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-
ed as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
2. Bit rate/ within 32 - 320kbps
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” 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 can-
not 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 the “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
8. Do not use special characters such as
“_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.
9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
200.
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.
