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+Hi-Fi 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 out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Speaker System Connection
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are
reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
Do not remove the front cover of supplied speaker.
Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front
speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital
surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a
subwoofer.
•Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for
equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval
between speakers to 45 degree.
•Centre speaker
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same
height. But normally place it above or below the television.
•Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers
recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround
sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speak-
ers too far behind the listening position and 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 above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Grossary for Audio Stream & Surroiund mode
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one
of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the
program you want to listen to.
Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode
you want appears in the display window as below.
When PCM indicator is only displayed in the
display window:
Each time you press SOUND MODE button, the sound
mode is changed in the following order;
PRO LOGIC →3D SURROUND →BYPASS
When DVD is inserted.
You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,
PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote
during playback.
Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the follow-
ing explains the basic operation when this feature is used.
Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is
changed as the following order;
→→
For your reference
•
The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR memorizes the last mode
settings for each source individually.
•
You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
- Dolby Digital discs are labelled with the logo.
- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labelled with
the logo.
- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
otes
When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequen-
cy, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling
frequency).
Sound Mode is not applicable when headphone is used.
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-
gram source. If you play DVDs with “” mark, you can
enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range.
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the “” mark. This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with
an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO
LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right
movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed
position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-
ic than before.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround
Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-
back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five
or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel
audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS (2CH STEREO)
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and sub-
woofer. 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.

AUDIO MODE
The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR has two separate audio playback sys-
tems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NOR-
MAL 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+Hi-Fi VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
AUDIO MODE can be switched between Hi-Fi and
NORMAL using 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+
Hi-Fi
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+
Hi-Fi
VCR will then record a STEREO program when avail-
able, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the dis-
play to mono may give clearer sound.
BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO,
SAP, and MONO using b/B.
AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is
in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.
This display setting should normally be left in the stereo posi-
tion, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will
be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched between STEREO, LEFT,

Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR can not read an MP3 file that
has a file extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this receiver is
limited 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
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. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
This DVD+Hi-Fi 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). That require certain pre-existing conditions
(see above) to insure compatible playback.
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.
