Setting up your DVD/VCR Unpacking and setup Your carton should contain: • DVD/VCR • User Guide • Remote control unit • Video cable • Audio cable • Batteries (two) If you need to replace any of these items, call our help line mentioned in the Warranty section of this guide. Carefully remove all the components from the carton and make sure that you have all the necessary components before you dispose of the carton. • Remove all packing materials from the individual components. • Do not remove any labels or stickers on the back panel of your DVD/VCR. • Place your DVD/VCR in the location you want. Your DVD/VCR is designed to be used on a level, stable, flat surface, such as a table, desk, shelf, or stand convenient to a power outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration. • Unwind the AC power cord on the back of your DVD/VCR and extend the cord to its full length. Power source Use the polarized AC line cord provided for operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet. If you cause a static discharge when touching your DVD/VCR and your DVD/VCR fails to function, unplug your DVD/VCR from the AC outlet and plug it back in. Your DVD/VCR should return to normal operation. Warning • The system uses a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized power outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your power outlets, you probably have outdated, non-polarized outlets which should be changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock. • Never connect the AC cord plug to other than the specified voltage (120 V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only. Connecting your DVD/VCR to a TV Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your TV. VIDEO INPUT AUDIO INPUT Back of TV L R Video cable Audio cable Back of DVD/VCR Y Pb Pr cable Audio cable S-Video cable Back of TV Pr Pb Y COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN VIDEO INPUT R L AUDIO INPUT Video connection To connect to your TV with a video cable: • Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR to the VIDEO IN jack on the TV using the video cable supplied. Note If you use this connection, set the TV's source selector to VIDEO. S-Video connection To connect to your TV with an S-Video cable: • Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the TV using an optional S-Video cable. Component video/progressive scan connection If your television is a high-definition or "digital ready" television, you can take advantage of the DVD/VCR's progressive scan output for the highest quality video possible. To connect to your TV with a component video cable: • Connect the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the corresponding in jacks on the TV using an optional Y Pb Pr cable. Notes • Progressive Scan does not work with the Audio/Video or S-Video connections. • If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled. • If you connect both an S-Video cable and Component cables to your TV, the video may be unstable. Disconnect one type of connection to solve the problem. 8 www.insignia-products.com
