DVD Precautions

On safety
Caution The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On operation

If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. When you move the player, take out any discs. If you dont, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume when playing DVD
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This player is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

Getting Started

30 Step 1 : Unpacking Step 2 : Setting up the remote commander Step 3 : Basic hookups Step 4 : Selecting a language Step 5 : Setting the clock Step 6 : Presetting channels Step 7 : Setting up the VCR Plus+ system (SLV-D560P only)

Basic Operations

After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup. After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR. Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.
Caution Connections between the DVD-VCRs VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna terminals of your receiver. Note to CATV system installer (in USA) This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Article 820- 40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. continued Basic hookups

Audio/video (A/V) hookup

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that Advanced Hookups (page 62) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the picture and sound for a true hometheater experience. If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to make the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks

Notes To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection. If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the AUDIO IN jack on your TV.

Basic hookups

Hookup 1 (Plug and Play) Antenna hookup
Make the following connections if you are using an antenna (if you do not have cable TV). A Use this hookup if you are using: VHF/UHF antenna (you get channels 213 and channels 14 and higher) UHF-only antenna (you get channels 14 and higher) Separate VHF and UHF antennas

Step 5 : Setting the clock
Using the Auto Clock Set feature
Some TV and cable channels transmit time signals with their broadcasts. Your DVDVCR can pick up this time signal to automatically set the clock. The Auto Clock Set feature works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a time signal. If broadcasters in your area are not yet sending time signals, set the time manually (page 24). Before you start Turn on the DVD-VCR and your TV. When using a cable box, turn it on. To control the DVD-VCR, set TV / DVDVIDEO to DVDVIDEO on the remote (page 10). Set the RF Output Channel to 3CH or 4CH in OPTION SETUP menu (page 110). If your TV is connected to the DVD-VCR using A/V connections, set the TV to video input.

Step 6 : Presetting channels
This DVD-VCR is capable of receiving VHF channels 2 to 13, UHF channels 14 to 69 and unscrambled CATV channels 1 to 125. First, we recommend that you preset the receivable channels in your area using automatic presetting methods. Then, if there are any unwanted channels, disable them manually. If you have already decided which channels you wish to preset, set them directly using manual presetting methods (page 28).
Presetting all receivable channels automatically
Before you start Turn on the DVD-VCR and your TV. When using a cable box, turn it on. To control the DVD-VCR, set TV / DVDVIDEO to DVDVIDEO on the remote (page 10). Set the RF Output Channel to 3CH or 4CH in OPTION SETUP menu (page 110). If your TV is connected to the DVD-VCR using A/V connections, set the TV to video input.
