LANGUAGE SELECT The on-screen programming of this DVD+VCR can be displayed in either English, Spanish, or French. LANGUAGE SELECT can be switched among ENGLISH, SPANISH and FRENCH by pressing b/B. AUDIO MODE The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL 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 that does not have VHS Hi-Fi. AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and NORMAL by pressing 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 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 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 among STEREO, SAP, and MONO by pressing 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 RF.OUT.

That means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the picture quality may be improved by changing the video mode. To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video mode number selected is displayed on the TV screen. Check whether the video quality has improved. If not, repeat the above procedure until picture quality is improved. Video mode change sequence: MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE4 → MODE5 → MODE1 Notes on MP3 Discs 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. The DVD+VCR cannot read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension .mp3. MP3 disc compatibility with this DVD+VCR is limited as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. If you turn off the power, the video mode will be back to initial state (MODE1). 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 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 DirectCD etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore 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. This player can play the CD-DA Multi-session disc. But, we cannot guarantee for all other Multi-session discs. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the .mp3 extension e.g. “********.MP3”. Do not use special characters such as “_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc. Total number of files on the disc should be 200 or less. If a disc contains more than 200 files, the files with the numbers 201 or more can not be displayed and played back. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80 minute CD-R (700M) software. This DVD+VCR 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). 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. 32 Troubleshooting Check the following guide for the possible cause of a problem before contacting service. Cause Correction No power.
