Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
•
•
•
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
Turn off the TV/VCR/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet
packed with your TV/VCR/DVD.
Protect Components from Overheating
•
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
•
•
•
Don’t stack components.
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t
flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•
If you place components above the TV/VCR/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the
TV/VCR/DVD instead of straight down the middle.
•
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables
away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV/VCR/DVD carefully. Place the TV/VCR/DVD on a stand or base that is of
adequate size and strength to prevent the TV/VCR/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or
pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV/VCR/DVD. Refer to the Important
Safeguards sheet packed with your TV/VCR/DVD.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV/VCR/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft
or indirect lighting.

Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV/VCR/DVD
The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.
Notes: Audio/Video cables (A/V cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, but the connection
picture in this book shows each cable separately for better visibility.
This TV/VCR/DVD’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack fully complies with the international standard
governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3® or PCM)
receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully
compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection
using anything other than Dolby Digital AC-3 or PCM receiver or decoder could create a high noise
level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.

Dolby Digital® and DTS®
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the
digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate
channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.
The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or
decoder and if the original movie the disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or
DTS format.
Please Read this Before Using the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT Jack!
This TV/VCR/DVD’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS
receiver or decoder. There are two types of Digital Out jacks on this unit: optical and coaxial. Use
the jack (and the corresponding cable) that matches the type of Digital Audio In jack your
receiver or decoder has.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a
connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage
headphones or speakers.
It is important to choose the correct digital output setting in the TV/VCR/DVD’s audio menu,
especially when you use the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack (Chapter 5 has details).

Connections & Setup
TV/VCR/DVD + Receiver
1A. Connect the Dolby Digital or DTS receiver to the TV/VCR/DVD
If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver with a Digital Input jack, connect an optical
digital cable (not provided) into the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack on the TV/VCR/DVD
player and to the Digital Input jack on the back of the receiver. You must also set the
digital output setting in the DVD setup menu (Chapter 5 has details). Also, check the
audio within the DVD Options menu to make sure it is set up correctly (Chapter 4 has
details).
Note: The illustration on the left shows a digital optical cable connection. If your receiver has a
coaxial Audio In jack, use a shielded (coaxial) video or audio cable with RCA plugs at both ends to
connect the coaxial digital jacks on the TV/VCR/DVD and the A/V receiver.
or
1B. Connect the A/V receiver to the TV/VCR/DVD
Connect the A/V cables to an A/V (audio/video) receiver. Connect audio cables to the

Using a Disc Menu
Many discs skip the disc menu
Some discs have an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menus. The disc

3. Press PLAY (the light on the remote starts flashing).
The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are 20 sets of codes). If the
component you want to operate doesn’t turn off automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY
again (the light starts flashing again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.
Note: If the component doesn’t turn off after you’ve pressed the PLAY button 20 times, the
component can’t be programmed.
4. Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
5. To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the light on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on the next
page.
3. Press and hold the component button (VCR2 or SAT•CABLE) that corresponds to the

component you want the remote to operate.
You must continue pressing the
component button while you
enter the code.
4. Enter the code from the code list on the next page.
5. Release the component button.
6. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try
pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until
the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic
code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not
compatible with your component.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your
components. To operate the component:
1. Press the component button (VCR2 or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to control the
component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong
mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e.,
if you want to operate the satellite receiver, press SAT•CABLE on the remote to put it in the satellite
receiver mode).
The other remote buttons may operate differently for other components, especially when you’re
using their menu systems.

How V-Chip Works
TV GUIDELINES
AGE D L S V FV
When the V-Chip software is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the software the program’s
age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that
the program contains, a message appears and the channel won’t be available for
viewing.

Broadcasters aren’t required to provide content themes, so programs that aren’t
tagged with a content theme can only be blocked if you block their age-based
rating.

The TV allows you to download additional new rating systems. If you watch a

Using the TV/VCR/DVD’s Features
Tracking
Your TV/VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and “noise” from the picture.
Tracking has no effect when recording – only during playback. Automatic tracking is activated
when you insert a tape or turn on the TV/VCR. TRACKING flashes on the TV screen during
automatic tracking.
Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a
different VCR. Press the TRACK + or – on the remote (CH + or CH– on the front of the TV/
VCR) to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when pausing a tape to reduce the
noise of the still picture. When you use manual tracking, automatic tracking turns off.
The automatic tracking feature is restored the next time you insert a tape. If you want to turn
automatic tracking back on right after you’ve used manual tracking, press the CH + and CH –
buttons on the front of the TV/VCR at the same time.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time used in recording or playing back a
tape. The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of recorded events.
For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape,
rewind it, and then want to go to the end of the first program to start another
recording:
0:00:00
10:00AM OCT.15
1. Press the INFO button to display the time counter.
2. Press the CLEAR button to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Press FORWARD to advance a tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.
4. Press STOP. This is the approximate end of a 30-minute program (you may
want to press PLAY to verify). When the tape is cued correctly, you can
begin recording.
5. Press the INFO button to remove the time counter from the screen.
Audio Features
The audio you select affects both tape playback and recordings. Press the SOUND button on
the remote to select the type of audio you want to listen to or record. You can use the AUDIO
ADJUST menu in the next chapter to adjust the sound.

isn’t being broadcast in stereo (no indicator appears on the screen).
Tape Playback
The VCR records audio on both the Hi-Fi stereo and linear tracks on the tape. Hi-Fi sound is
recorded on separate left and right stereo channels. Monaural sound is recorded on the linear

Care and Cleaning
Maintenance of TV/VCR/DVD Cabinet
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV/VCR/DVD before cleaning.
You can clean the TV/VCR/DVD as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV/VCR/DVD screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar
the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents,
such as ammonia-based cleaners or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV/VCR/DVD.
While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside
the TV/VCR/DVD. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV/VCR/DVD. This could
increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV/VCR/DVD.
Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of time can
cause them to be permanently imprinted on the picture tube (or projection TV picture tubes). ALSO, some
network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause similar damage. This damage is not covered by your
warranty.
Formation of Condensation
•
•
•
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact
with any cold parts inside the DVD player.
When condensation forms inside the DVD player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave
the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.
If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center
hole toward the outer edge.
Disc Cautions
•
Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s
internal parts may be damaged.
•
•
•
•
Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.
Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.

Other Information
Handling Discs
•
•
•
Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.
Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning Discs
•
•
•
Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently
with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and
remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene,
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
