Satellite Receiver Hookups

•Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a Satellite Receiver. Set

your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the Satellite Receiver.

•With many Satellite Receiver hookups, if you use audio and video cables to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV, you will have to put your DVD/VCR in Line Input mode (L1 or L2).

Line Input mode

•If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (L1 or L2 will appear on your TV screen briefly), press NEXT ∑/CH o or PREV w/CH p or the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

•During playback, Hi-Fi audio may revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking.

•When connecting the DVD/VCR to a TV with the red and white audio cables, you will only get stereo sound if you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on

your TV, and if the TV is on its Audio/Video In channel. See your TV owner’s manual for details.

•When you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. If the status display indicates you are receiving stereo, you are. Details are on page 45.

•Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play in Hi-Fi audio.Tapes recorded in normal audio will play in monaural (single-channel) audio.

Cleaning the Video Heads

•Your DVD/VCR automatically cleans the video heads of the VCR each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. If so, have an authorized servicer clean the video heads. Eventually, the heads may need to be replaced.

The playback picture is too dim, too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.
