AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the DVD/VCR which are used to receive audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another system (OUT).

Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the DVD/VCR memorizes all available TV channels. Then, when you press the CHANNEL o/p buttons, you only scan through channels you receive.

Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.

•Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF (ultra high frequency; channels 14-69).

•Cable – all standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.

Cable Box/DBS Output Channel: 03 or 04.

CD: Compact Disc (audio)

Coaxial jack: Used to send digital audio to a decoder or amplifier, allowing you to adjust the volume at the decoder or amplifier. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie the- aters.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the DVD/VCR which are used to send high-quality video to a TV with Component Video In jacks.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

Dubbing: copying a video cassette tape using another VCR.

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

Frame: a still picture.

HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture detail.

Line Input: The channel to which you set your DVD/VCR during video cassette tape dubbing. If you use the AUDIO and VIDEO In jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, select channel 002 (AV FRONT). If you use the AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the DVD/VCR, select 001 (AV REAR). If you accidentally enter Line Input mode, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another chan- nel.

OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the amplifier. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not being used. This keeps dust out of the jack.

OTR: One-Touch Recording; a timed recording on the VCR that starts immediately and records for 30 minutes to eight hours.

Remote Control: the small unit that came with your DVD/VCR; allows you to operate your DVD/VCR from a distance.

RF coaxial cable: A cable supplied with your DVD/VCR. Use it to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV (or Cable Box or DBS). The supplied cable is a snap-on type. However, you may use a screw-on type if you prefer.

Special Effects: forward and reverse searching; a still picture; slow motion playback.

S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable.

Tape Speeds: how fast the video cassette tape travels during a recording or playback.

•SP (standard play) – fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately two hours); best picture quality.

•LP (long play) – average tape speed; playback only.

•SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately six hours).

VCR: video cassette recorder.

VIDEO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the DVD/VCR which are used to receive video from another source (IN) or to send video to another system (OUT).
