Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Front of the DVD/VCR
COPY – Shortcut to transfer tapes (VCR) to disc (DVD), which is great for converting your camcorder recordings that are on videocassette tape to a DVD disc. When
you have a recordable DVD+R or DVD+RW disc in the DVD disc tray and a videocassette tape in the VCR, press COPY (the VCR starts playing and the DVD/VCR starts
recording automatically).
STANDBY/ON – Turns the DVD/VCR on and off.
VCR Buttons
RECORD – Records to a videocassette tape.
STOP/EJECT – When playing a tape, stops playback. When tape isn’t playing, ejects the tape.
REV – Rewinds the tape
FWD – Fast forwards the tape
PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback. During playback, pauses playback.
INPUT – Just like a TV has Video Input Channels (page 16), the DVD/VCR has one Video Input Channel for each set of INPUT jacks. The Video Input Channel is the
“channel” to which you tune the DVD/VCR so you can see the picture and hear the sound that’s coming from the component that is connected to the DVD/VCR’s INPUT
jacks. For example, if you connected your camcorder to the Audio and Video Input jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, you would press the INPUT button until INPUT 2-
Front appears.

CH-/SKIP- (channel down/skip reverse) – Goes to the previous channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning
of the current chapter or track unless you’re within the fi rst minute of a chapter or the fi rst 15 seconds of a track—then, you’ll skip to the beginning of the preceding
chapter or track.
CH+/SKIP+ (channel up/skip forward) – Goes to the next channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the
next title, chapter, or track on a disc (in effect,“skipping” the title, chapter, or track).
OPEN/CLOSE – Opens and closes the disc tray.
RECORD – Records content to a DVD disc (DVD+R or DVD+RW discs only).
STOP – Stops playback and/or recording.
REV (reverse) – Searches backwards through the disc.
FWD (forward) – Searches forwards through a disc.
PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback of a disc. Pauses recording or playback.
Front Input Jacks:
INPUT 2: Audio/Video jacks – These Input Jacks are provided for convenience when you are connecting a temporary component, such as a camcorder.
S-VIDEO – If a component you’re connecting, such as a camcorder, has an S-Video Output jack connect it to this jack for picture quality that is better than regular
video (yellow). Remember, you still have to connect audio cables to hear sound.
