Before Use (Continued)

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 Receiver 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.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Yes

No

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Connections

Tips

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the

DVD/VCR Receiver. Use connections described on pages

11-14.

Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

Caution

Make sure the DVD/VCR Receiver is connected directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.

Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The

DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to

DVD/VCR Receiver

1

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the

TV.

2

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 ANTENNA IN on your DVD/VCR

Receiver.

Tip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to an Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)

(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANTENNA

IN jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the

DVD/VCR Receiver, it just slips over the jack.

Connections (Continued)

Speaker System Connections

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

Notes

Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.

If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.

Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

Front Speaker

Center

Speaker

Front Speaker

(Left)

Speaker Positioning

For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

• Front Speakers

Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree.

• Center Speaker

It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are same height. But normally place it above or below the television as shown below.

• Rear Speakers

Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.

It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm above the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Before Operation - Sound Mode Descriptions

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream &

Surround mode

(DTS)

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital

Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.

Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

Sound Mode

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

Press SOUND FIELD on the remote control repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below.

Each time you press SOUND FIELD button, the sound mode is changed in the following order;

BYPASS → PRO LOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → MATRIX →

3D SURROUND

(Dolby Digital)

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1

channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

When DVD is inserted.

You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,

PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback.

Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is changed as the following order;

→ → →

(Dolby Pro Logic)

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO

LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.

(Dolby Pro Logic

II

)

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

3D SURROUND

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround

Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

BYPASS

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded.

16

For your reference

• The DVD/VCR Receiver memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually.

• You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging.

- Dolby Digital discs are labelled with the logo.

- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labelled with the logo.

- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with logo.

Note

When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).

Volume Control

You can adjust the volume by rotating VOLUME on the front panel or by pressing VOL (+/–) on the remote control repeatedly.

Muting

Press MUTING to mute your unit.

AUDIO MODE

The DVD/VCR Receiver has two separate audio playback systems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NOR-

MAL 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 Receiver that does not have VHS

Hi-Fi.

AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and

NORMAL using B/b.

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 Receiver 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 Receiver 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 display to mono may give clearer sound.

BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO,

SAP, and MONO using B/b.

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 ANTENNA OUT.

This display setting should normally be left in the stereo position, 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 B/b.

Notes on MP3 Files

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 DVD/VCR Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD/VCR

Receiver is limited as follows:

Sampling Frequency : only at 44.1kHz

Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps

CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

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 recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.mp3”.

Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.

Total number of files on the disc should be less than

650.

This DVD/VCR Receiver 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 recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 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 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/VCR

Receiver 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 pixels 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 Receiver, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
