Things to consider before you connect

Protect components from overheating
• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifi er, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
• Insert each cable fi rmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the
TV.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT possible to record content that is copy-protected. This is usually true for most pre-
recorded DVD discs and most pre-recorded VHS tapes.
DVD discs – DVD movie discs (DVD-ROM); DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD-RW (must be recorded using video mode
or VM); DVD-R (must be recorded using video mode or VM and must be fi nalized). DVD audio discs are not
compatible.
CDs (Audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, DivX discs, mp3 discs) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. mp3
discs are CDs (CD-R or CD-RW) that contain mp3 fi les. DivX discs contain DivX fi les. This product also plays CDs
that contain JPEG and WMA fi les and Multisession CDs.
Video CD (VCD) – Like DVD video discs, VCDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount
of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than DVD discs.
You must use DVD±R or DVD±RW discs to record on your DVD recorder not VCDs.
