ALTERNATE INSTALLATION FOR BEST PICTURE QUALITY: Your TV must have Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs (three separate RCA connectors with red-, blueand green-colored cores), and Left (usually has a white-colored core) and Right (red-colored core) Stereo audio preamp-level RCA outputs. The composite video cable is not included and should be purchased separately. This setup requires that the TVs own video switching is utilized to access DVD picture. All other video switching is still done through the DCR600.

	sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multichannel surround-sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.

The wires for the three front speakers should all be of the same length even if the speakers will be placed at varying distances from the DCR600. The same applies to the two rear speakers. To make sure that you use the correct wires for each speaker, we have color-coded them, as shown in the diagram:

Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The JBL Cinema ProPack 600 remote control may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the DCR600 and DVD600. It is helpful to think of the remote as being organized into “pages,” with one page for each device. Depending on which device has been selected, the buttons on that device’s page will perform different functions, as listed starting on the next page. These functions may vary from the labels on the remote, and from one device to the next. Some buttons may perform no function at all for a given device.

In order to go to the page for a particular device, such as the DVD600, you will need to press the Input Selector button for that device

(DVD in this case), located in a grouping just below the power buttons. The remote will then function as if it were dedicated to the DVD600.

If you would like to make an adjustment that affects the DCR600 receiver, such as turning the volume up or down, you must first go to the page for the DCR600 by pressing its Input

Selector button. This button is labeled "Main" on the remote. The exception to this rule is that the DVD600’s transport functions – Play, Forward and Reverse Search, Stop, Pause, and Previous and Next Chapter/Track Skip – may be accessed from the "Main" page, without

having to jump to the DVD page.
