6 Playable Discs and Video Cassettes

Playable Discs
The DVD Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs); Audio Compact Discs (CDs); final-
ized Digital Video Discs Rewritable (DVD+RW); finalized Compact Discs Rewritable
(CD-RW) and Compact Discs Recordable (CD-R); and Video Compact Disc (VCDs).
To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color
Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD
Player. Other Disc types are not guaranteed to play in the DVD/VCR.

Recordable
ReWritable DIGITAL VIDEO

DVD Audio CD CD-RW/CD-R Video CD DVD+RW

Region Codes
This DVD/VCR has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL
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.

Color Systems
DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com-
mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and
North America), PAL, and SECAM.
This DVD Player uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the NTSC sys-
tem. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color system of the
DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Playable Video Cassettes

The VCR of this DVD/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with
existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassettes that have
the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and exces-
sive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if dam-
age occurs.
The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view
tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).
H9420UD(p1-51).QX4 03.7.18 11:59 AM Page 7

Hookups 7
Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following
guidelines describe which options have the best picture (video) and sound (audio) quality.You will not use all the
jacks on the DVD/VCR.
If your TV 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 the TV.This hookup provides both audio and video in a
single cable. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 - the output channel of the DVD/VCR.This connection
allows you to use both the DVD and VCR features. Details are on page eight.

★★★★ If your television has Component Video In jacks (which could be labelled Y Cr Cb,Y Pr Pb, or
YUV and may be green, blue, and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr) for the
best picture quality. Set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR to INTERLACE. If you
use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available.To see DVD features on
the TV, set the TV to its Component Video In channel. Details are on page 12.
If your TV has Progressive Scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Out jacks of
the DVD/VCR. Set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR on the DVD/VCR to PRO-
GRESSIVE. Set your TV to Progressive Scan. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher
image resolution than traditional (480i) TV signals.When PROGRESSIVE is selected, no video
will be sent from the VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT jacks.
★★★ If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-Video jack
for excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be
available.To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its S-Video In channel. Details are on page
13.
★★ If your TV has a single yellow Video In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or
baseband), use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality.This connection provides a picture
for both the DVD Player and the VCR.To see DVD or VCR features on the TV, set the TV to its
Video 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 (no VCR) 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 or TV.This connection provides sound
for both the DVD Player and the VCR. Details are on pages 11-14.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, 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 and Video In channels on your
other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on the TV, 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 the TV to the correct Video 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 00. See
your TV owner’s manual for details. If you do not see the DVD or VCR playback on the TV, go to the lowest
TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you see the DVD or VCR picture on the TV. Or, if
your TV has only a single Antenna In jack and you are using the RF coaxial cable (as described on page eight),
set the TV 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 DVD Video logo will appear on the TV 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 your TV or moni-
tor has BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.
● If you switch between PROGRESSIVE and INTERLACE 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 the VCR 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.

for three to five seconds. Each time you do this, the DVD/VCR’s output
channel switches between 3 and 4. Change your TV to channel 3 or 4 accord-
ingly. (You cannot change the DVD/VCR’s output channel while adjusting track-
ing manually. Press STOP C to stop play and cancel manual tracking, then press
PLAY B to resume play and change the output channel.)

40 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System

1 First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the
VCR Plus+ programming system to work properly.
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers,
and since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local
channel information.To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel list, if applicable (you can
request one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers (Guide
channels), which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.
NOTE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the User channel must be 3 or 4 (the Cable
Box/DBS output channel) for every Guide channel.

Multi-Channel Television Sound 49

Your DVD/VCR can play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from the left and right audio channels.Your DVD/VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usu-
