Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-13. Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See Optional, Preferred TV Connections on pages 12-13.

Caution

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

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

Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
