water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the head drum or the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the DVD/VCR.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD/VCR in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold
wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

Notes: •A clear picture will not be obtained by the DVD/VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the
DVD/VCR properly.
•For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor
type antenna is required.
•If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.
The DVD/VCR must be connected “between” the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and
connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an
antenna system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram.
If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300 ohm inputs and
one 75 ohm output.

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This
DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company
supplied converter box, except for those premium channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a
premium channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
Allows: *Recording of nonscrambled channels.
*Use of the programmable timer.
*Recording of one channel while watching another.
Allows: *Recording of channels through the converter box
(scrambled and unscrambled).
*Using the programmable timer to record only the
channel selected at the converter box.
Prevents: *Recording one channel while watching another.
*Using the DVD/VCR tuner to select channels.

About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed
to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-
definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a
bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals),
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices such as
DTVs.
