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.
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.

FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or off.
FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF
using </1_.
LANGUAGE SELECT
The on-screen programming of this DVD+VCR can be
displayed in either English, Spanish, or French.
LANGUAGE SELECT can be switched between ENGLISH,
SPANISH and FRENCH using 4/1_.
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 using </1_.
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-
play to mono may give clearer sound.
BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO,
SAP, and MONO using </1_.
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,
and RIGHT using 4/1_.
Press MENU when finished.
Channel Selection
This DVD+VCR is equipped with a frequency
synthesized tuner capable of receiving up to 181

MP3/WMA Recording Notes
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 player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than ".mp3".
About WMA (Window Media Audio) Files
An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.
WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio
compression of the MP3 format.
MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is
limited as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency /only at 44.1kHz (MP3),
22.05 - 44.1 kHz (WMA)
2. Bit rate /within 32 - 320kbps (MP3),
32 - 128kbps (WMA)
3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software
which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
"Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "Easy-
CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the
first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st
track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish
to playback MP3/WMA 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" or ".wma" extension
e.g.' ......... .MP3" or .......... .WMA".
7. Do not use special letters such as '7 : * ? "< >" etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
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 recordabte disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA 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/WMA files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no right
to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Files
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG
files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to
read the disc's contents. If you don't see an on-
screen display after several minutes, some of the files
are too big -- reduce the resolution of the JPEG files
to less than 2 mega pixets and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 650.
Some disc may be incompatible due to different
recording format or condition of disc.
• When you are using software such as "Easy CD
Creator" to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure
that all the selected files have the ".jpg" extensions
when copying into the CD layout.
If the files have ".jpe" or ".jpeg" extensions, please
rename them as ".jpg" files.
File names without ".jpg" extension will not be able to
be read by this DVD+VCR, even though the files are
shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
