REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call CATV system installer's attention to Article

820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part I) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Caution: FCC regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void the user's authority to operate it.

Caution: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Attention: Pour eviter les chocs electriques, introduire la lame le plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.

Important: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs is an infringement of U.S. copyright laws. Certain Canadian programs may be copyrighted and any unauthorized recording in whole or in part may be a violation of these rights.

To prevent damage which may result in fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Method 1: Antenna + DVD-VCR + TV: No Cable box

Method 2: Antenna +Cable box + DVD-VCR + TV: Cable box with many scrambled channels

Method 3: Antenna + DVD-VCR + Cable box +TV: Cable box with a few scrambled channels

- If you are using an off-air antenna that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, use an external antenna connector (300-75 ohm adaptor: not supplied) to connect the antenna to the

DVD-VCR.

- If you have two separate antennas (one VHF and the other UHF), use a UHF/VHF combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops) to connect the antenna to the

DVD-VCR.

- The RF OUT(TO TV) jack of this product sends signals received through the antenna and outputs Audio/Video signals.

Method1: Antenna + DVD-VCR + TV: No Cable box

You can record non-scrambled channels by selecting the channel on the DVD-VCR.

MP3/WMA file

When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R/Memory Card, please refer to the following.

- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and

Windows, and with Apple's Mac. This format is the most widely used. Memory Cards over 4GB use FAT32, which may not be compatible with this unit.

- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma” as the file extension.

General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma.

When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least

128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to

160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like

192

Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.

- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least

64Kbps when recording WMA files.

Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose.

Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to

192Kbps.

Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.

- Do not try recording copyright protected

MP3 files.

Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTM

(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and

SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI

Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

- Important:

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.

You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your

DVD-VCR (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

- This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and

300 folders per disc.

Searching for a Specific Sequence

Each time you record a cassette on this DVD-VCR, an “index” is automatically marked on the tape when recording starts.

The Search function allows you to fast-forward or rewind to a specific index and start playback from that point.

Depending on the direction selected, the indexes are numbered as follows: etc.

Prev

Seq.

Seq. being played

Next

Seq. etc.

2 1 1 2

This DVD-VCR uses a standard indexing system (VISS). As a result, it will recognize any indexes marked by other VCRs using the same system and vice versa.
