Helpful Hints (cont’d) 77

You can not insert a video cassette.

•Insert the tape, window side up, with the record tab facing you.

•Make sure a tape isn’t already in the VCR by pressing STOP/EJECT on the front of the DVD/VCR.

•Gently push on the center of the tape when putting it in the VCR. Never force the tape into the VCR.

•If a timer recording is set, you cannot insert a tape without a record tab.

You can not remove the tape.

•The DVD/VCR must be in VCR mode. Press OUTPUT SELECT so the green VIDEO light is on the front of the DVD/VCR.

•Make sure the power plug is completely connected to a power outlet.

•You have set a timer recording. Press TIMER SET to delay the timer recording. Then, press STOP/EJECT on the front of the DVD/VCR to eject the tape. Insert another tape and press TIMER SET to reset the timer recording.

•Unplug the DVD/VCR power cord for five minutes. Then, plug in the power cord again, then press POWER ON/OFF on the DVD/VCR. If the tape does not eject, press STOP/EJECT on the DVD/VCR three to five times. If the tape still does not eject, you may need to have an authorized servicer remove the tape.

DVD/VCR ejects the tape when you press REC/OTR or TIMER SET for a timer recording.

•Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page 31.

Direct Broadcast System Hookups

•Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS.

•With many DBS hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV, you will have to put your DVD/VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).

Line Input mode

•If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen briefly), press CHANNEL/SKIP j/i (p/o) or the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

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

•When connecting the DVD/VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode. 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 44.

•Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will play in monaural 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.

•Some programs may be broadcast with copyright protection technology in order to protect the rights of copyright owners. This technology is used on programs that are recorded on video cassettes or DVDs, as well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels. Programs broadcast with copyright protection may not record clearly. Likewise, if you play a tape that is a recording of a copyright protected program, the picture may not be clear. Tapes of copyright protected programs may have a picture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may fluctuate. Therefore, avoid recording or playing copies of copyright protected programs.

•This DVD/VCR incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of cer- tain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.
