Explanation of mnput jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks arid cablesyou can usetomake connections (only a coaxial cableand a set of audio/video cablesare packedwith your DVD/VCR--you can

purchase other cablesby calling 1-800-338-0376,order onfne at s_*w.rca,com, or go to your local electronics store),There are several 'waysto connect your DVD/VCR to

your TV dependingupon the cablesyou haveand the jacks that are on the back of your TV.

Different jacks and cablesprovide a different levelof performance, It's important to remember, we're r_lking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your TV

hasComponent iacks (Y,Pb,Pr),S-VIDEO,and composite video (often color-coded yellow and grouped with Audio Left and Rightjacks that arewhite and red); Component

(Y,Pb,Pr),would be considered excellent, S-Video would be very good, and the composite video jack (yellow) would be considered good,

Component Video (Y_ Pb, Pr) Jacks and Cables

TheY, Pb,Pr iacks provide optimum picture qualitybecausethe video is separatedinto three signals

(two signalsare dedicatedto the color portion of the image,and the other signalisdedicated to the

black and white part of the image).

To ensure maximum picture quafty, usethree video-grade cables(no_ supplied)for the connection.

You can purchasebundled component video cables(not supplied) that are color-coded to match the

Y,Pb,Pr jacks (red,green, and blue),ComponentVideo Input iacks are usually found on high-endTVs,

such as HDTVs; multimedia monitors; and some of the"flat" LCD and PlasmaTVs or monitors,

Notes;

Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cablesbecause the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and cables

carry on_ythe picture signal, not the sound,

$=Vi_eo jacks a_ Cables

The S-Video (separatevideo) jack provides better picture quality than a composite video jack

(sometimes labeledVIDEO and color<oded yellow on TVs) becauseS-Video keepsthe color part

of the picture separatefrom the black and white part of the picture. If your TV hasan S-VIDEO jack,

connect the DVD/VCR to the TV with an S-Video cable for a better quality picture.

The basicVideo jack (usua/y color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Composite

video doesn't keepcolor information separated (like S-Video),but it's better than the video quality

you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type usedto connect a cable signalor off-air antenna).

A_io

These jacksare usedto sendthe audio from the disc or tape you're playingin the DVD/VCR to the

TVThe audio jacks and cables(supplied) are often color-coded (red for right audio,and white for

left audio),You must connect audio cablesto the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD/VCR arid the

Back of the DVDiVCR

The back of your recorder might look a little overwhelming at first,This section explainswhat goes where and why.There are two sets of jacks on the back of your DVD/

VCR--INPUT jacks and OUTPUT jacks,

Eachjack is explained individuallybelow',but the basicidea is about sendingand receiving information to be playedon or through your DVD/VCR and displayingthat

information on your TV screen,

iNPUT The cablesconnected to INPUT jacks bring the signalthat carries the content INTO the DVD/VCR, such as the cable signal(programming) from the cable company

or satellite programming from a satellite receiver.

OUTPUT The cablesconnected to the OUTPUT jacksare sendingthe signalfrom the DVD/VCR OUTTO your TV so you can seeit on the screen,The correct cables

must be connected to the DVD/VCP.'sOutput jacks and the corresponding Input Jacl<son theTV so you canseethe program on theTKYou must also tune theTV to the

correct channel called aVideo Input Channel(for details,go to page 18),

Expmanationof_ack_ (fe_ meltto _i_h9

CH3/Ch4 Switch This switch is also found onVCRs--it corresponds to the TV channelyou would useto watch a tape if you only haveyour TV connected to the DVD/

VCR with an RFCoaxial Cable via the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT iack (if the switch is set to CH3, you would tune the TV to channel3). However,the connections

illustrated in the User's Guide show a preferred connection usingaudio/video cables or an S-Video cable.

CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT: Connect an RFCoaxial cable from an off-air antenna,cable box,or cable outlet to this jack.The cable is sendingthe programming from the

source to the DVD/VCR.

CABLE/A_TE_A OU'|"POT: Connect an RFCoaxial cable (provided) to this jack and to the Cable/Antenna Input jack on your T_L

INPUT: Thesejacks receive audio and video from a compatible component, such asa satellite receiver.Another set of Input Jacks(INPUT 2) are on the front of the DVD/

VCR for temporarily connecting components such as a camcorder or a video game unit.

VIDEO, Color coded yeJJow_the video cableyou usewith this jack provides better quality than an RFCoaxial cable but isn't asgood as S-Video.Connect

corresponding video cable to a compatible component such as a satellite receiver or cablebox.

AgD|O L(lefe): Color coded white, connect corresponding audio cable to a compatible component such asa satellite receiver or cable box.

AUDIO _ (right.): Color coded red,connect corresponding audio cable to a compatible component such asa satellite receiver or cable box.

$_V_DEO

iN: If your satellite receiver or cable box hasan S-VIDEO output jack,cormect an S-Video cableto this jack becauseit provides better picture quality than standard

video (the yellow jack).

OUT: If your TV hasartS-Video jack,connect an S-Video cableto the TWsS-VIDEO jack and to this S-VlDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR to achieve berber picture

quality than sr4ndardvideo (the yellow lack).

Graphics contained within this publication are for representa':ion only.

OUTPUT: These jacksseedthe content (audio and video) flora your DVD/VCR OUT to the TV so you can seeit on the TV screenand hear it through the TV's speakers.

VIDEO: Color coded yellow, the video cableyou usewith this jack provides better quality than an RFCoaxial cable but isn't asgood as S-Video.

AUB|O L (_ef_): Color coded white, connect corresponding audio cable to TV'sAudio Left Input Jack,

AUDIO R (right): Color coded red, connect corresponding audio cable toTV's Audio Right Input lack.

¢OHPON_T VJBEO OUTPUT (% Pb_ P_) - BVD PLAYBACK O_LY: Somehigh-endTVs and monitors haveComponentVideo input jacks.Thecablesthat send

the video signalthrough these Output lacks provide the highest resolution becausethe video signalis divided into ] separate parts (cablesnot suppliedwith DVD/VCR),As

withVlDEO and SoVIDEO,CONPONENTVIDEO (Y,Pb,Pr) only carries the picture signalso you need to connect the audio cablesso you'll hear the sound. If your TV has

COHPONENT INPUT jacks,usethree video grade cablesto connect _he DVDNCR to thesejacks on the TV to get the best picture quality.However, makesure you also

connect another video cable (either a RFcoaxial cable to the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT jack;the yellow cable to theVlDEO Output bck; or an SoVideocable to the

SoVlDEOOUT jack) becauseyou can only use ComponentVideo for DVD Playback.You'llneed to haveanotherVideo Output connected for playbackof VCR tapes,

D|G|TAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUT -DVD PLAYBACK ONLY: If you havea Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder

with a DigitalAudio Optical input bck, you canachieve enhancedsound quality during DVD PLAYBACK by connecting a

digital optical cable (not supplied),

Note: _ake sure you connect regn_araudio cables in addition to connecting a Digital Audio cable because you can on_yuse the D_G_TALAUD_Oconnection for DVD

Playback. Jf you're pJayinga VCRtape in analog mode (necessary for recording to DVD disc and p_ayinga tape at the same time) you'll need the other audio cables

connected because the sound from the D_G_TALAUDIOwon't match up with the video in analog mode causing a "a ffp sync" problem.

P_OG. SCAN switch - if you've connected your DVD/VCR to aTV thac usesprogressive scanningto displaythe imagevia the_ Pb,Pr bcks, turn the switch to the "on"

position for progressivescan playbackof DVD discs,Typically,only some High Definition Televisionsand high-end mukimedia monitors use progressivescanning.Leavethe

switch in the OFFposition for S-VIDEO or reguJarVlDEO(yellow') connections.

Note: Jf you tern the P_0G SCANswitch on, and your TV isn't capable of progressive scanning you won't see a dear picture on the TV screen.Additionally, when

the large number of brandsand manufacturers,If you encounter problems with one brand of disc,pleasetry another brand.

VCA (Digital vs. Analog)

YourVCR is equipped with two modes:digital and analog,Thedigital mode (or path) enablesyou to use an on=screenInfoDisplay during playback,ThisDVD/VCR is also

designedwith an analog mode (or path) so you areable to record to a DVD disc while watching aVCR tape;or record to aVDR tape while watching a DVD disc.The DVD

functions alwaysgo through the digital path,There isonly one digital path,Therefore, if you are using anyVCR functions at the sametime you're using DVD functions,the

DVDNCR switches to the analog path, If you are playingaVDR tape and the DVD functions aren't in use,you can switch theVDR playback between the analog path and the

digital path by pressingthe ANALOG.DIGITAL button on the remote.

Using the remote's features

Know _:he mode

Once you've programmed the remote to operate other components, you need a basic understanding of how the remote control works.The codes in the remote control

that make a component act a specific way are mode dependent--if you want to change setdngs in your TV's menu, you must press theTV button before you press the

MENU button so the remote control knows that you want to access theTV's menu system,

To summarize, to operate the DVD/VCR you must press the DVD/VCR button; to operate the TV,you must press the TV button; to operate a satellite receiver, you must

press the SAT button; to operate the cable box, you must press the CABLE button; etc.

To let you know which mode you're in,the component button that is activelights when you pressa button.

Unders_:anding _:he _PUT bunt:on

Another important button is the INPUT button.The INPUT button accesses the programming from a specific component.We call these channels,Video Input Channels,

because you are telling the component to send the video (and audio) that corresponds to theVideo input iack you used to connect the component to the DVD/VCR, For

exampl< ifyou cormected a satellite receiver to your DVD/VCR by using the S-VIDEO IN iack, you would need to press DVD/VCR (to tel the temote you want to operate

the DVD/VCR) and then press INPUT until the S-Video Input Channel appears (if the satellite receiver is on, you'l! see the program it is tuned to, and S-VID appears in the

DVDNCR's channel banner to let you know which "channel" the DVD/VCR hasaccessed.

Playing _p3 or JPEG fi|es

Your DVD/VCR can pby rap3 files and JPEG files.You can also create a musical slide show by putting both rap3 (PIPEG-I, layer 3) and ]PEG files on the same disc.

_p3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer Gesellsch_ff in collaboration withThomson Inc,The main advantage of the

rap3 format is the ability to store CD=quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal computer, rap3 (MPEG=3,which stands for Notion Picture

Experts Group=Layer 3,meaning the third layer of information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is compressed, it takes up less space.

Note:You can only play true rap3 files in the DVD/VCR--some products use software to compress rap3 files and convert them to other formats such as MPX.Your

DVD/YCRwon't recognize or play _IPX files or other types of converted rap3 flies.

JPEG files are imagefiles. Makesure that they have a resolution of lessthan S me_pixels (approximately 2MB).

Note:The time taken for the contents of the disc to he displayed variesaccording to the size and number of JPEGfliesactually on the disc. If nothing is displayed

after a few minutes, it is likely that certain flies are too large. In this case,reduce the files' resolution to less than 5megapixeis (approximately 2H8) and write

another disc.

Creating an rap3 Disc on Your Computer

Your DVD/VCR handles HPEG=I, layer 3 audio.If you encodeyour own rap3 files from an audio CD,avoid using the features of HPEG=2,such asthe 22kHz sampling

frequency,

Be sure to make adata CD ra_herthan an audio CD,If you makean audio CD, you will lose the extra features and compression of the rap3 format.

rap3 files

The followingrecommendations can't be taken as a guarantee that the DVD/VCRwill playrap3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.Certain technologies

and methods for rap3 file recording on CD-R discs prevent optimal playbackof these flies on your product.

Hake sure the file is a true rap3 file.Youcan only playtrue HP3 files inthe DVD/VCR--some products use software to compress rap3 flies and convert them

to other formats such as HPX.Your DVD/VCRwon't recognize or play HPX filesor other types of converted rap3 files.

When naming rap3 flies,don't exceed 12characters, and enter .rap3 as the file extension_When usinga general name format of:Tide.rap3, make sure the title is

8 characters or less, don't use spaces, and don't use special characters (such as, = +,/, %,&,etc.).

Whatever the real recording capacity of the CD-R,don't use more than 630HB of recording space on the disc_

Use a decompression transfer *-ateof at least i28 kb/sec (kilobits/second) when recording rap3 flies_Sound qualitywith rap3 files basicallydepends on the rate

of compression you choose_Getting audio CD qualitysound requires an analog/digitalsampling rate, that isconversion to rap3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec

and up to 160kb/sec. However; choosing higher rates like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound quality.Conversely,files with samplingrates

below 128 kb/sec won't be played.
