regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the DVD Player.You cannot play DVDs  
that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these  
region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD  
Player.  
The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the  
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S.Virgin  
Islands, and small regions near Australia.  
A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same  
region code.

Hookups  
7
Determining the best possible connection...  
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially yourTV.The following guidelines  
describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.You will not use all the jacks on the DVD/VCR.  
If yourTV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In, RF In, or 75 ohm, use the ANT-OUT  
jack of the DVD/VCR to connect to theTV.This hookup provides both audio and video in a single  
cable. Set yourTV to channel 3 or 4 - the output channel of the DVD/VCR.This connection allows you  
to use both the DVD andVCR features. Details are on page eight.  
★★★★  
If yourTV has ComponentVideo In jacks (which could be labelledY CR CB,Y PR PB, orYUV and may be  
green, blue, and red), use the COMPONENTVIDEO OUT jacks (Y CB/PB CR/PR) for the best picture  
quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available.To see DVD features  
on theTV, set theTV to its ComponentVideo In channel. Details are on page 12.  
Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i or inter-  
lace)TV signals. If yourTV has Progressive Scan (525p/480p or progressive), connect theTV to the  
DVD/VCR’s COMPONENTVIDEO OUT (Y CB/PB CR/PR) jacks.  
Set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu. Details are on pages 64-65. P.SCAN will  
appear on the DVD/VCR’s display panel. Set yourTV to Progressive Scan also.  
If yourTV does not have Progressive Scan but has ComponentVideo In jacks, connect them to the  
DVD/VCR’s COMPONENTVIDEO OUT jacks (Y CB/PB CR/PR). Set PROGRESSIVE to OFF either in the  
DISPLAY menu or by pressing and holding the PLAY B (DVD) button on the front of the DVD/VCR for  
more than five seconds. Details are on pages 64-65.  
If yourTV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelledY/C or S-VHS), use the S-VIDEO OUT jack  
for excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available.  
To see DVD features on theTV, set theTV to its S-Video In channel. Details are on page 13.  
If yourTV has a single yellowVideo In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or baseband),  
use the yellow VIDEO OUT jack for good picture quality.This connection provides a picture for both  
the DVD Player and theVCR.To see DVD orVCR features on theTV, set theTV to itsVideo In channel.  
Details are on page 11.

★★★  
If you have a Stereo with a Coaxial Digital Audio In jack, this provides the clearest sound for the DVD  
Player. Connect the DVD/VCR’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo for the best  
sound quality. If you use only this audio connection, only Disc sound (noVCR) will be available. Details  
are on page 15.  
If digital audio connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR’s red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO  
OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo orTV.This connection provides sound for both the  
DVD Player and theVCR. Details are on pages 11-14.  
Before you begin...  
Refer to the manuals of yourTV, Cable Box, Stereo, or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and  
connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio andVideo In channels on your  
other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on theTV, Stereo, etc.  
Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you  
have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power  
outlet.  
Remember...  
Set theTV to the correctVideo In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,AUDIO/VIDEO  
or A/V IN, EXT1 or External In, etc.These channels often are located near channel zero (0). See yourTV owner’s  
manual for details. If you do not see the DVD orVCR playback on theTV, go to the lowestTV channel (01 or 02)  
and change channels downward until you see the DVD orVCR picture on theTV. Or, if yourTV has only a single  
Antenna In jack and you are using the RF coaxial cable (as described on page eight), set theTV to channel 3 or 4.  
To help you find the right Audio/Video In channel, turn on the DVD/VCR. Press DVD to put the DVD/VCR in  
DVD mode.With no Disc in the Player, a large DVDVideo logo will appear on theTV screen when you get the  
TV on the correct Audio/Video In channel or channel 3 or 4.  
Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.  
Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables or adaptors. If yourTV or monitor  
has BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.  
If you set Progressive Scan on or off when the power is on, the DVD/VCR will turn off.When you turn on the  
DVD Player again, the last selected scanning system will be active.  
To use theVCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and  
red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.  
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-15. Follow the steps for the hookup  
you choose.Then, go to page 17 to complete the first-time setup.

hold the (VCR) PLAY B button on the front of the DVD/VCR for three to five seconds.  
Each time you do this, the DVD/VCR’s output channel switches between 3 and 4, and the selected chan-  
nel number appears on the front display. Change yourTV to channel 3 or 4 accordingly. (You cannot  
change the DVD/VCR’s output channel while adjusting tracking manually. Press STOP C to stop playing  
and cancel manual tracking, then press PLAY B to resume playing and change the output channel.)  
There is not a channel 3/4 switch on the DVD/VCR (as customary with mostVCRs).

Box/Satellite Receiver.  
You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.  
You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time.  
Set your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the channel you want to  
record.When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer  
recording, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver  
output channel). (This is step 8 on page 37.) Leave the Cable  
Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.

Receiver has Audio andVideo Out  
jacks, use audio and video cables  
to connect them to theVCR  
AUDIO IN andVIDEO IN jacks on  
the rear of the DVD/VCR.You will  
not need the RF coaxial cable con-  
nection between the Cable  
Box/Satellite Receiver and the  
DVD/VCR as described at step 2.
