cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are danger-
ous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or
fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if
its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.

DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold
4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as
much. There are no double layer single sided record-
able discs.
VCD (Video CD)
A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along with quality stereo sound.

audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding
video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround
sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio.
MP3
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
WMA
Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod-
ing developed by Microsoft Corp.

sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with
the system via menus, search functions, or other typi-
cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures
of high resolution can be played if they are included
in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC
(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.
Title (DVD only)
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.
For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu-
mentary describing how the film was made could be
title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title
is assigned a reference number enabling you to
locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate
the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap-
ters may not be recorded.
Scene (VCD)
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-
tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling
you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com-
posed of one or several tracks.
Track
A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the picture or sound track for a specific language
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one
track of video (with multiple angles) and several
tracks of audio.

SETUP
FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display can be turned on or off.
AUDIO MODE
The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback sys-
tems, 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.
BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo
and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual sig-
nals. 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 broad-
casts, changing the display to mono may give clearer
sound.
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 position, 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.

is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of han-
dling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice
is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit passes each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-
tation 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). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into
normal stereo sound.

MTS Broadcast
This DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio
sound system for recording and playback. The infor-
mation below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio
and how to record and play a tape in the Hi-Fi audio
mode.
Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a
stereo audio system is required for true stereo play-
back. 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.
1. Set the AUDIO MODE option to HI-FI on the VCR
SETUP menu .
2. Set the AUDIO OUTPUT option to STEREO so
that the left channel sound (L) is heard from the
left speaker and the right channel sound (R) is
heard from the right speaker.
The other options are (LEFT) POSITION, which
results in the left channel sound (L) being heard
from both speakers or (RIGHT) POSITION, which
results in the right channel sound (R) being heard
from both speakers.
3. Insert a cassette and press N(PLAY).
MTS (Multi-Channel TV Sound)
This DVD+VCR can 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 frequen-
cies and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilin-
gual TV sound system.
Multichannel TV Sound Indicator (MTS)
When you press ENTER one or both of the indicators
appears on the TV Screen.
STEREO
The DVD+VCR can record in stereo onto the VHS
Hi-Fi audio tracks when the BROADCAST TYPE
option is in the STEREO position. The DVD+VCR
can also record mono audio onto the mono audio
track.
SAP
Some stations transmit a Second Audio Program,
which is used for a second language or additional
information.
STEREO/SAP
Use the BROADCAST TYPE option to select the
desired recording mode (STEREO or SAP).
