Setting the VCR Setup Menu

2 Press v/V to select the SETUP menu, then press ENTER.

The SETUP menu will appear.

Channel Selection

This DVD+VCR is equipped with a frequency synthesized tuner capable of receiving up to 181 channels. These include VHF channels 2-13, UHF channels 14-69 and CATV channels 1-125.

Preparation:

Connect the DVD+VCR to the desired type of antenna or cable TV system, as shown in Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD+VCR on page 11.

3 Press v/V to choose a desired option on the SETUP menu. Then press b/B to choose a desired setting.

FUNCTION OSD

The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or off.

FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by pressing b/B.

AUDIO MODE

The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono system. The same audio is generally recorded on both sys- tems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can be played on a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.

AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and NORMAL by pressing b/B.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the DVD+VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO posi- tion. The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT IN STEREO.

For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the dis- play to mono may give clearer sound.

BROADCAST TYPE can be switched among STEREO, SAP, and MONO by pressing b/B.

AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)

Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.

This display setting should normally be left in the stereo posi- tion, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono sound will be heard from both left and right channels.

AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched among STEREO, LEFT, and RIGHT by pressing b/B.

4 Press VCR MENU when finished.
