Connections  
Without Cable Box  
Tips  
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter  
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach  
it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round  
coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT  
jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this  
connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and  
hyperband channels.  
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to  
connect, there are various ways you could connect the  
DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 12-14.  
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo  
System or other devices as necessary to make the best  
connections.  
For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s  
DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your  
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See  
Connecting to optional equipment on page 14.  
With Cable Box  
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the  
instruction below:  
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.  
To view or record CATV channel  
Caution  
1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).  
2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of  
the Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRK (v/V) or  
number (0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)  
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.  
ꢀ
ꢀ
Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.  
Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.  
Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VHS AUDIO OUT  
jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio  
system.  
ꢀ
Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD  
image could be distorted by the copy protection system.  
Notes  
ꢀ With this connection, you CANNOT record one program  
while viewing another.  
ꢀ If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-  
essary to do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel  
Search) as indicated on page 16.  
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to

Cable TV  
Wall Jack  
Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is  
a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial  
antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to  
the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.  
Back Panel of  
Typical Cable Box  
Tip  
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,  
connect it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)  
(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN  
jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the DVD+VCR,  
it just slips over the jack.

VHS Hi-Fi Stereo System/  
MTS Broadcast  
MTS (Multi-Channel TV Sound)  
This DVD+VCR will 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 frequencies  
and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilingual TV  
sound system.  
This DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio  
sound system for recording and playback. The informa-  
tion below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and  
how to record and play a tape in the Hi-Fi audio mode.  
Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound  
Multichannel TV Sound Indicator (MTS)  
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo  
audio system is required for true stereo playback. 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.

Recordings to the left.  
About MP3  
ꢀ
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using  
MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the .mp3 file extension MP3 files.  
The DVD+VCR cannot read an MP3 file that has a  
file extension other than .mp3.

MP3 disc compatibility with this DVD+VCR 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  
therefore 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.
