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 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.

FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by pressing b / B .
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.
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 among STEREO, LEFT, and RIGHT by pressing b / B .

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. Sampling Frequency/only at 44.1kHz
2. Bit rate/within 32 - 320kbps
3. CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660
4. 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 therefore recommend that you use Easy-CD
Creator, which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. 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 playability for all other
Multi-session discs.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the .mp3 extension e.g. “********.mp3”.
7. Do not use special characters such as
“_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.
8. 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 or played back.
9. 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.

This DVD Player can play discs with JPEG files on it.
Make sure the resolution of the JPEG files is less than
2 mega pixels (2M).
Moving to another File
Press BACKWARD ( .

otes
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an onscreen 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 on the disc should be less than
200.
Some discs/files may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of discs/files.
