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 (depending on the oper-
ating 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 other heat
sources. Do not leave the disc in a parked car exposed
to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable tem-
perature increase inside the car.
Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker
cables by matching the colors of the terminals to those
of the cables. To obtain the best possible surround
sound, fine tune your system by adjusting the various
speaker settings (levels, delays, etc.).
ote
Be sure to match the speaker cables to the appropri-
ate terminals: + to + and – to –. If the cables are
reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-
ings, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
volume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers of the supplied
speakers.
Speaker Positioning
Follow these guidelines to position the six supplied
speakers (two front speakers, center speaker, two rear
speakers and subwoofer).
If you want to hear deeper bass, DTS digital surround
and/or Dolby Digital surround, consider adding an active
subwoofer with built-in amplifier.
•Front speakers
The front speakers should be placed at equal dis-
tances from your primary listening position. The
speakers should be placed 45 degrees apart relative
to the listening position.
•Center speaker
Ideally the center speaker should be placed at the
same height as the front speakers and at the same
distance from your primary listening area.
•Rear speakers
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right
behind the primary listening area. For best results, do
not position the rear speakers too far behind the lis-
tening position. Place them at or above ear level. It is
also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a
wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
If the listening area is in a small room against a rear
wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 2-3
feet above the listener’s ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Sound Mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources, such as
DVDs and CDs, bearing the DTS trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio
(i.e., 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.
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital
program sources. If you play DVDs with the “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial
accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small
concert hall.
When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large
concert hall.
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a movie theater.
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. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes:
PROLOGIC Emulation mode:
The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case
the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more “as it used to be.”
When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no “Pro Logic I” mode. The Pro Logic emula-
tion mode is optional.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result
is enhanced sound field 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.
VIRTUAL mode:
The Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However,
there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers,
Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process
developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only “Pro Logic II” so the Virtual name
can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself.
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.
SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO)
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources
completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right
speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control.

Setting Delays
In Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode, it is
assumed that the distance from the listener to each of
the five speakers is equal. If your center and rear
speakers are closer than the front speakers, you can
set delays so that sound from these speakers will be
heard simultaneously at your primary listening position.
In Dolby Digital mode
Center delay time : 0ms
Rear delay time: 5ms
In Dolby Pro Logic mode
Center delay time : cannot be set
Rear delay time : 0-15ms
If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, the
delay time will be automatically set in Dolby Pro Logic
mode .
The delay time is approximately 1 msec per foot.
If the center and rear speakers are further than the front
speakers from the listener, the delay time should be set
to the minimum.
Surround delay time setting
If the distance from your rear speakers to the listener is
the same or greater than your front speakers, set the
Surround Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the
setting according to the calculation below.
For example, if the distance from the front speakers to
the listener is 10 feet and from the rear speakers to the
listener is 5 feet, the rear delay time would be 5 msec.
10 feet - 5 feet = 5 feet, or 5msec
In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time):
PROLOGIC: 10 - 25msec
MOVIE: 10 - 25msec
MUSIC: 0 - 15msec
VIRTUAL: cannot be set
MATRIX: 0 - 15msec
Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only)
If the distance from your center speaker to the listener
is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the
Center Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the set-
ting according to the calculation below.
For example, if the distance from the front speakers to
the listener is 10 feet and from the center speaker to
the listener is 8 feet, the center delay time is 2msec.
10 feet - 8 feet = 2 feet, or 2msec

You can select center delay time by pressing b/Bin
the Dolby Digital mode only.
22
Press vv/VVto change the delay time.
33
If setting is complete, press DELAY.
otes
You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital
mode when its delay time appears.
Center Width (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi-
tioned between the center speaker and the left/right
speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a
combination of all three front speakers to give the best
vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen-
tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step
“0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step
“7” places all center sound equally in the left/right
speakers, just as in conventional stereo.
DIMENSE (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control allows the user to gradually adjust the
sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can
be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all
the speakers with certain recordings that may contain
either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the
recommended setting, which has no effect on the
sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-
ward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards
the surrounds.
PANORAMA (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)
This control extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound”
effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective
for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel
elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen-
tuated by the Panorama process.

received. When only one of these MTS signals is received, the
DVD+VCR will automatically select the corresponding receiving
mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For nor-
mal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The
DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when available, and
only 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.
Press b/Bto switch BROADCAST TYPE among STEREO,
SAP, and MONO.
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 posi-
tion, 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
