Welcome!

This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into one unit, allowing you to play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and video cassette tapes from one piece of equipment. The DVD Player of this DVD/VCR will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features available on DVDs. Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibili- ties are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.

When playing Audio CDs, determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeat- edly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.

We hope you enjoy this DVD/VCR and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD/VCR, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.

Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual are intended to describe the Disc menus. These menus are set by the movie producers or by the music industry, and the menus will vary among Discs. Furthermore, not all Discs are guar- anteed to have menus. However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access the Disc menu by pressing the DVD button, then pressing the MENU button on the remote control. (Make sure the DVD/VCR is in DVD mode. Press the DVD/VCR OUTPUT button so that the red DVD light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.)

DVD Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD player’s menu to set up features of the DVD player or the Disc. You get to the DVD player menu by pressing the SETUP button on the remote control when playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set up in the DVD player’s menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

Not all of the features described in this manual may be available on every DVD or Audio CD. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the DVD/VCR to make these features available. The “No feature” symbol will appear on the TV screen if you try to set up a feature that is not available on the current Disc or is not available at the current time.
