As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug – never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the system for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plugs from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

of Any Components

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinets may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM

INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s 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 possible.

Installation Location

■ To ensure proper operation, particularly of

the precision laser transport mechanism and carousel tray in the DVD600

, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the components on a firm and level surface. When placing the components on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below each component for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.

■ Make certain that there is enough room in

front of the DVD600

for the disc tray to open fully, and that there is enough space above the unit so that discs may easily be inserted.

■ Do not place the components directly on a

carpeted surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of any component, or place objects directly over them.

■ Do not place the DVD600

in a location that is subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold, as these conditions may damage the discs used in the player, or the player itself.

■ If you will be stacking the DCR600

and

DVD600

What‘s Included

Installing and Connecting the Equipment

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers, it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

Refer to the attached Quick Installation diagrams and the Rear Panel Connections diagrams for the DCR600

and DVD600IIon pages 17 and 21

when connecting your equipment.

We recommend a simple connection of your system components to each other, plus a video connection to your television. After you have made these connections, you may wish to read further in this owner’s manual for information on connecting other components, such as external tape or digital recorders, CD players, laserdisc players, cable television boxes, satellite dishes, video games or other devices.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls should be CL3/FT4 rated, or carry any other certification that is required by the NEC or state and local building and electrical codes. To avoid interference, audio and speaker cables should not be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path with, AC cables. If you have any questions about wiring, consult your dealer or electrical contractor.

Where to Place the Speakers

Mounting Options

Satellites and Surrounds

On shelves.

Wall-Mounting

Attach plate to wall. The brackets should be placed, if possible, so that the screws will fasten into a wooden wall stud. If that is not possible, use properly selected wall anchors.

The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers.

On the wall. Wall brackets are included.

Slide speaker onto support.

On optional stands (FS300).

Place speaker and support on wall plate.

Subwoofer

Surround Speakers

Front Speakers Center Channel Speaker

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners.

The center channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to angle the speaker down.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the mainprogram material heard in the front speakers.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, the best reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer

in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

Connecting the Speakers

Making the Audio Connections

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+)

and (–) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a ridge or stripe. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin 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.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals on the rear panel of the DCR600

receiver, and on the subwoofer, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors.

To connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.

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:

Front Left: White Wire Center: Green Wire Front Right: Red Wire Surround Right: Gray Wire Surround Left: Blue Wire Subwoofer: Brown Wire

If you will be stacking the DCR600IIand DVD600

, place the DVD600IIDVD changer

on top of the DCR600

receiver, as the receiver is too heavy to be placed on top of the DVD changer.

Assemble the supplied AM Loop Antenna as

shown above. Connect it to the

AM and GND

Terminals

c on the back of the DCR600II.

2. Connect the supplied 75-ohm FM antenna to the

FM Terminal d on the back of the

DCR600

. Note that if you use an optional external FM antenna with 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor (not supplied) to make the connection.

3. Connect one end of the supplied single-lead coaxial digital cable with orange connectors to the

COAX 1 (upper) Digital Input ™ on the

receiver, and connect the other end to the Coaxial Digital Output on the DVD changer.

4. In order to obtain the best possible sound reproduction when watching your television, connect the left and right analog audio outputs of your TV to the

TV Audio Inputs · on the

DCR600

using the red (right) and white (left)

leads of the supplied triple-lead RCA cable.

Connect all components as per the Quick Setup Guide, or as per the appropriate diagram on pages 6 through 8 of this manual.

Remove any protective plastic films from the front panel displays of the DCR600

and

DVD600

1. Plug the receiver’s Power Cord b into an

unswitched AC outlet.

2. Press the receiver’s Main Power Switch 1

in so that it latches in and is flush with the front panel. Note that the

Power Indicator

3. The goal is to obtain the same output level

from each speaker. Use the front left speaker as your reference, adjusting the

Volume

Control

%sw until the sound coming from the front left speaker is at a comfortable level.

4. If any other speaker sounds too loud or soft

in comparison to the front left speaker, adjust its output level by pressing the

⁄/¤

Buttons y on the remote, or the Selector Buttons

5 on the receiver’s front panel. This will cause the test tone to pause at that speaker to allow you to make the adjustment. (DO NOT adjust the volume for any speakers other than the reference front left speaker.)

When you are satisfied with the level of that speaker, simply wait, and the tone will continue to circulate after about 15 seconds.

5. If you are using a sound pressure level (SPL)

meter for precise level adjustment, start by setting the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting, Slow.

6. When you are finished adjusting the levels

Making the Video Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DCR600IIand

DVD600

offer both S-Video and composite video inputs and outputs. However, you must choose one type of connection or the other for all connections in your system. This will depend on the type of connections on your television. If both types of connections are available, we recommend that you purchase S-Video cables and make those connections for superior picture quality. The composite video connections will also provide excellent results. However, the DCR600

will not

convert from one type of signal to the other.

1. Connect one end of the single-lead RCA cable with yellow connectors to the

Composite

Video Output

on the DVD600IIand the other

end to the

DVD Composite Video Input ⁄ on

the receiver. OR Connect one end of an S-Video cable (not supplied) to the

S-Video Output on the

DVD600

and the other end to the DVD S-Video

Input

⁄

on the receiver.

2. Connect one of the yellow ends of the triplelead RCA cable with red, white and yellow connectors to the

Video Monitor Composite

Video Output

° on the receiver, and the other end to the composite video input jack on your television. This jack is often color-coded yellow; however, if you have any questions about which jack to use, consult your television’s owner’s manual or your dealer for assistance. OR Connect one end of a second S-Video cable (not supplied) to the

Video Monitor S-Video

Output

° on the receiver, and the other end

to the S-Video input jack on your television.

3. If your television is equipped with component video (Y/Pr/Pb) inputs, in addition to the above connections, you may use a triple-lead component video cable (not supplied) to connect the Component Video Outputs on the DVD600

to the inputs on your television.

4. Connect one end of the black 1/8" mini phone cord to the

Remote IR Output ‚ on the

DCR600

, and the other end to the Remote

Control Input

on the DVD600II.

If you will not be connecting additional equipment to your system just yet, you may plug in the receiver and DVD changer. The receiver and DVD changer each have a

Main Power

Switch

1 which must be pressed in first, and

System Power Control 2, which should be

pressed second. The last source selection will appear in the receiver’s information display.

The DCR600

is set at the factory to a default configuration for use with small satellite speakers and a subwoofer such as the JBL SCS135P system. If other speakers are used, then the speaker configurations may need to be changed (see page 38).

Although the DCR600IIis set to the correct speaker configuration settings for the speakers supplied with this system at the factory, you will need to adjust the output levels of the speakers to customize the system to your speaker placement and room acoustics.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to the nature of this product category, DVD players, while being operated at elevated temperatures, may exhibit certain anomalies such as picture freeze-ups.

If this occurs, the DVD600

needs to be “reset” by powering it down and up again, using its master On/Off switch.

Should this occur with your DVD600

, first check your discs for any damage, scratches and fingerprints. If discs are OK, then ventilation around the DVD600

needs to be increased to

ensure proper operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

A. The AC plug connections should always be

the last connections made when installing an A/V system. When making subsequent connections to audio source equipment or speakers, it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the possibility of sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.

C. The DCR600IIoffers both composite and S-Video inputs and outputs. However,

either

S-Video or composite input/output connections should be used throughout the system in order for it to function properly. Do not use S-Video and composite video connections interchangeably.

D. The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, any digital recorder used must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

¡ Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect to the coaxial digital input connector on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

™ Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect to coax digital output of a digital source. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source. Do not connect the RF digital output of an LD player to these jacks. To benefit from the factory default setting of the DCR600

, it is recommended

that you plug the

Coaxial Digital Output

of the DVD600IIinto the jack marked “1 (DVD)” on the DCR600

£ Optical Digital Input: Connect to optical digital output of a digital source. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.

¢ LFE/Subwoofer Output: Connect to the LFE or line-level input of an optional powered subwoofer.

Do not use this connector with the

SCS135P subwoofer included.

∞ 6-Channel Direct Inputs: When an optional, external processor or playback device with 5.1-channel audio capability, such as a DVD-Audio player, is in use, connect the player’s output jacks to these inputs.

§ Tape Inputs: Connect to PLAY/OUT jacks of an audio recorder.

¶ Tape Outputs: Connect to RECORD/INPUT jacks of an audio recorder.

• CD Inputs: Connect to output of a CD player.

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and

variable audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is distorted.

ª Remote IR Input: If the DCR600II’s front panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

‚ Remote IR Output: Permits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote-controlled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on the DVD600
