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

Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The remote control for

the JBL Cinema ProPack 600

may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the DCR600IIand DVD600II. 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 DCR600IIby pressing its Input Selector button. This button is labeled “Main” on the remote. The exception to this rule is that the transport functions of the DVD600

– 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.

Configuring the DCR600IIReceiver

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to calibrate the output levels and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor.

The DCR600

features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker configuration, surround mode, delay times and output levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you to custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each source and have the DCR600

memorize those settings. This means, for example, that you may use different output levels or trims for different sources, or set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the DCR600

have all inputs (except DVD) configured for an analog source, and stereo as the surround mode. Before using the unit, you will probably want to change the settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, and the surround mode specifics. Remember that since the DCR600

memorizes the settings for each input individually, you will need to make these adjustments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is only required when system components are changed.

Once you have completed the settings for the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. Remember that once the settings are made for one input, they must be made for all other input sources in your system.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves the system configuration information and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered.

Configuring the Speakers

The following instructions are to be followed only if the DCR600II is NOT used with JBL SCS135P, or if speaker settings have been accidently altered from the default settings, which are SMALL for all positions with the subwoofer set to

SUB L/R+LFE. Otherwise, go to the

output level adjustments section on page 39. For

each of these settings use the

LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when “Small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “Large” and “Small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

With the DCR600

turned on, follow these steps

to configure the speakers:

1. Put the DCR600IIin the Dolby Pro Logic II

mode by pressing the

Surround Mode

Selector

7 on the front panel or by pressing

the

Surround Mode Selector t on the

remote, until

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II –

MOVIES appears in the Main Infor-

mation Display

U and the PRO LOGIC II

Indicator

F lights.

2. Press the Speaker Button Ô on the front

panel. The words

FNT SPEAKER will

appear in the

Main Information Display U.

3. Press the Set Button ^.

4. Press the Selector Buttons 5 on the front

panel until either

LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the type of speakers you have at the front-left and front-right positions, as described by the definitions shown in the preceding section.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option, and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front-left and front-right outputs, and NO low-frequency signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

5. When you have completed your selection for

the front channel, press the

Set Button ^,

and then press the

Selector Buttons 5 on

the front panel to change the display to CEN SPEAKER.

6. Press the Set Button^again, and use the Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel, to

select the option that best describes your system, based on the speaker definitions shown in the preceding section.

When

CEN SMALL is selected, lowfrequency center-channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the center channel speaker.

When

CEN LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center-speaker output, and NO center-channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. This selection is not available when Logic 7 has been selected as the surround mode.

When

CEN NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center-channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” centerchannel mode and center-channel information will be sent to the front-left and front-right channel outputs.

7. When you have completed your selection for

the center channel, press the

Set Button ^,

and then press the

Selector Buttons 5 on

the front panel to change the display to SUR SPEAKER.

8. Press the Set Button^again, and then use

the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel

to select the option that best describes your system, based on the speaker definitions shown in the preceding section.

When

SUR SMALL is selected, lowfrequency surround-channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any lowfrequency sounds from the surround speaker.

When

SUR LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround-channel outputs, and NO surround-channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When

SUR NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic II.

9. When you have completed your selection for

the surround channel, press the

Set Button

, and then press the Selector Buttons 5

on the front panel to change the display to S-W SPEAKER.

10 . Press the Set Button^, and then press

the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel

to select the option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL,

the subwoofer will automatically be set to

SUB,

which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE,

three options are available:

•

If no subwoofer is connected to the DCR600II, press the

Selector Buttons 5 so that

SUB NONE appears in the Main Information Display

U. When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.

•

If a subwoofer is connected to the DCR600II, you have the option to have the front left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the DCR600

is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or LFE, soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass created for certain movies. Press the

Selector Buttons 5 so

that

SUB (LFE) appears in the Main

Information Display

•

If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or surround mode you are listening to, press the

Selector Buttons 5 so that

SUB L/R+LFE appears in the Main Information Display

U. When this option is selected, a “complete” feed will be sent to the front left/right “main” speakers, and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequencies.

11. When all speaker selections have been

made, press the

Set Button^to return to

normal operation.

Adjusting the Output Levels

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process for any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a Dolby Digital receiver such as the DCR600

, as correct outputs will ensure that you hear soundtracks in their proper place with the proper directionality and intensity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience or a special effect, or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.

Before beginning the adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session. The Bass and Treble controls should be set to 0dB, or press the

Tone Mode

Button

6 to disable them. To adjust the Bass

and Treble controls, press the

Tone Mode

Button

6, followed by the Set Button ^,

and use the

Selector Buttons 5 to adjust the

Bass, then Treble, by up to plus or minus 10dB.

To assist in making speaker configuration settings, the icons in the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

M change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the center icon box containing the abbreviation for the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for “Small.” When the inner box and the two outer boxes are lit, the speaker is set for “Large.” When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for “None” or “No” speaker.

For example, in the following figure, the front left and front right speakers are set for

LARGE, the center, surround left (SL) and surround right (SR) speakers are set for

SMALL, and a subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with the abbreviation “LFE”, which stands for “low-frequency effects.”

To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a good idea to make these adjustments while seated in your favorite listening position:

1. Put the DCR600IIin the Dolby Pro Logic II mode

by pressing the

Surround Mode Selector 7 on the front panel, or by pressing the Surround Mode Selector

t on the remote, until

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II – MOVIES appears in the Main Information Display U and the PRO LOGIC II Indicator F lights up.

2. Press the Test Button q on the remote.

T-T FL 0dB will appear in the Main Information Display

U and the letters FL

will flash once each second.

3. The test noise will immediately begin to

circulate in the speakers in a clockwise rotation, pausing at each position for three seconds. As the test noise rotates, the speaker position will be shown in the Main Information

Display

U .

NOTE: This is a good time to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main Information Display. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the DCR600

off using the Main

Power Switch

1 and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

4. After checking for speaker placement, let the

test noise circulate, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Use the front left (

FL in the display) speaker as a reference by adjusting the volume to a comfortable level while the test tone is at the front left speaker. For the other channels, do not adjust the volume. Instead, press the

⁄/¤

Buttons y on the remote or the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel for

each channel to begin to bring them to the same level. Note that when one of the buttons is pushed, the test noise circulation will pause

Configuring the DCR600IIReceiver

at the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after 15 seconds.

5. Continue to adjust the individual speakers

until they all have the same volume. Note that adjustments should be made with the

⁄/¤

Buttons y on the remote or the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel only,

NOT the main volume controls, except when setting the reference level of the front left speaker. If you are using a sound pressure (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.

NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not adjustable using the test tone. To change the subwoofer level, press the

Channel Select

Button

Óx while playing a favorite selec-

tion, and use the

⁄/¤

Buttons y or

Selector Buttons 5 to choose the subwoofer

channel, followed by the

Set Button ^ to

select it, and then the

⁄/¤

Buttons y

or Selector Buttons 5 to adjust the channel outputs to a desired level, and the

Set Button

^ to memorize the change.

6. When you have adjusted the outputs so that

all channels have the same level, press the Set Button pˆ to complete the adjust- ment.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately trimmed for each digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for a specific mode, select that mode and follow the instructions in steps 2 through 5 above.

Setting Delay Times

Due to the different distances between the front-channel speakers and the listening position compared to the surround speakers and the listening position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing to match the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.

The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms, but some installations create an uncommon distance between the front and surround speakers that may cause the arrival of front-

channel sounds to become disconnected from surround-channel sounds.

To resynchronize the front and surround channels, follow these steps:

1. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the front speakers.

2. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the surround speakers.

3. Subtract the distance to the surround speakers

from the distance to the front speakers.

a. When setting the delay time for the Dolby

Digital surround modes, the optimal delay time is the result of that subtraction. For example, if the front speakers are 10 feet away and the surround speakers are five feet away, the optimal delay time is figured as 10–5=5. Thus, in this example, the delay time for Dolby Digital should be set at five milliseconds.

b. When setting the delay time for the Dolby

Pro Logic II mode, take the result of the subtraction and add 15 to obtain the optimal delay time. For example, if the front speakers are 10 feet away and the surround speakers are five feet away, the optimal delay time is figured as 10–5+15=20. Thus, in this example, the Pro Logic II delay should be set at 20 milliseconds.

NOTE: The Theater and Hall modes use a fixed, nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital mode also includes a separate setting for the center channel delay mode, since the discrete nature of these signals makes the location of the center channel speaker more critical. To calculate the delay for the center channel, measure the distance from the preferred listening position in the center of the room to both the center channel speaker and either the left or right speaker.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment is required and the center delay should be set to zero. If the distance to the front speakers is greater than the distance to the center speaker, you may wish to reposition the speakers by moving the front-left and front-right speakers closer to the listening position or the center speaker further away from the listening position.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible, adjust the center delay time, adding one millisecond of center channel delay for every foot closer to the listening position the center speaker is than the front speakers. For example, if the front-left and front-right speakers are each 10 feet from the listening position and the center channel speaker is eight feet away, the delay is figured as 10–8=2, suggesting an optimal center delay of two milliseconds.

To set the delay times, follow these steps:

1. Put the DCR600IIin the Dolby Pro Logic II

mode by pressing the

Surround Mode

Selector

7 on the front panel or by pressing

the

Surround Mode Selector t on the

remote, until

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II –

MOVIES appears in the Main Information

Display

U and the PRO LOGIC II Indicator

F lights up.

2. Press the Delay Button & on the

remote or front panel. The words

S DELAY

TIME

will appear in the Main Information

Display

3. Press the Set Button ^.

4. Adjust the delay time by pressing the

⁄/¤

Buttons y on the remote or the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel until

the delay time figure calculated using the formula entered above appears in the display.

5. If only analog sources will be used, no adjust-

ment is needed for the center channel delay. In that case, press the

Set Button

to enter the surround delay settings into the receiver’s memory. However, if you will be using digital sources and the calculations outlined above indicate that the center channel delay requires an adjustment, continue with the following steps.

6. Before setting the center channel delay time,

make certain that a digital source such as the DVD600

has been selected. If a digital source

is playing,

COAXIAL E or OPTICAL B will

appear in the

Main Information Display

(. If a digital source is already connected and playing, press the

Delay Button & and

then the

Remote Control Functions

The JBL Cinema ProPack 600IIis equipped with a powerful remote control that will control the functions of not only the DCR600

receiver and

DVD600

DVD changer, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home theater equipment. Once the remote is programmed with the codes for the products you own, it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single, universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully programmed for all DCR600

and DVD600IIfunctions. In addition, by following one of the methods below, you may program the remote to operate a wide range of devices from other manufacturers.

We suggest that you refrain from reprogramming the main and DVD functions. Should you reprogram them inadvertently, you may reprogram each of these buttons individually to code 001 to reset it without disturbing other functions programmed into the remote.

Entering Product Codes

This method is the easiest way to program your remote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables on pages 28 to 37 to determine

the three-digit code or codes that match both the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the specific brand name. If there is more than one number for a brand, make note of the different choices.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the

remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input Selector

ijl–o for the product you wish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and the

Mute Button c at the same time. When the Program Indicator LED

lights, release the buttons. The light under the Input Selector key will appear. It is important that you begin the next step within 20 seconds.

4. Point the remote towards the unit to be

programmed, and enter the first three-digit code number using the

Numeric Keys

–. If the unit turns off, the

correct code has been entered. Press the

Input

Selector

ijl–o again, and note that the red light will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT

turn off, continue to enter three-digit code numbers until the equipment turns off. At this point, the correct code has been entered. Press the

Input Selector ijl–o

again and note that the red light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make

certain that the product operates properly. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, so it is a good idea to make certain that not only the power control, but the volume, channel and transport controls work as they should. If all functions do not work properly, you may need to use a different remote code.

7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit

off, if the code for your product does not appear in the tables in this manual, or if not all functions operate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.

Auto-Searching for Product Codes

If the unit you wish to include in the remote is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the code does not seem to operate properly, you may wish to program the correct code using the Auto Search method that follows:

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in

the remote.

2. Press the Input Selector ijl–o

for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the

Mute Button c at the

same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the

Input Selector ij

–o and the Program Indicator LED

stay lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light appears.

3. Point the remote towards the unit to be

programmed, and press either the

⁄

Button y . Each press will send out a series of codes from the remote’s built-in database. When the unit being programmed turns off, release the

⁄or¤

Button y , as

that is your indication that the correct code is in use.

4. Press the Input Selector ijl–o

and note that the red light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

5. Try all of the functions on the remote to make

certain that the product operates. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, and it is a good idea to make certain that not only the power control works, but also that the volume, channel and transport controls operate, as appropriate. If all functions do not work properly, you may need to Auto-Search for a different code, or enter a code via the Direct Code Entry method.

Reading Back the Programmed Code

When the code has been entered using the Auto Search method, it is always a good idea to find out the exact code so that it may be easily reentered if necessary. You may also read the codes to verify which device has been programmed to a specific Control Selector button.

1. Press and hold both the Input Selector

ijl–o for the device for which you wish to find the code and the

Mute

Button

c at the same time. Note that the

Program Indicator LED and the light under the

Input Selector ijl–o will

light. Release the buttons and begin the next step within 20 seconds.

2. Press the Set Button . The Program Indicator LED

will then blink in a sequence that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-second pause between digits. Count the number of blinks between pauses to determine the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so forth, while 10 blinks are used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-second pause, followed by 10 blinks indicates that the code has been set to 160.

Remote Control Functions

Programming Macros

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the remote control. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a predetermined sequential order, enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks. The remote can store up to three separate macro command sequences: one that is associated with the Power

On Button

b, and two more that are accessed

by pressing the

Macro Buttons fg.

The JBL One Click™ remote also features two preprogrammed functions,

ALL OFF u and

ALL ON v, that turn all eight programmed

devices off or on when the appropriate key is pressed.

1. Press the Mute Button c and the Macro Buttons

fg to be programmed or the

Power On Button b at the same time. Note that the

Program Indicator LED will

light.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by pressing the button for the actual command step. The first step of the macro must be to press the

Input Selector dh–j

–o for the first device for which you are programming a command. That will cause the light under that Input Selector to turn on. Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps, each button press, including those used to change devices, counts as a step. The

Input Selector dh–jl–o will flash to confirm each button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On/Off of any device during a macro sequence, press the

Mute Button c. DO NOT press the

actual Power button.

3. When all the steps have been entered,

press the

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been programmed into one of the Macro buttons, follow these steps:

1. Press the Mute Button c and the Macro Buttons

bfg that contain the

commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program Indicator LED will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode Selector Button

t, followed by the

Macro Buttons bfg that contain the commands you wish to erase.

4. The Program Indicator LED will flash three times before it goes out.

5. When the Program Indicator LED goes out, the Macro has been erased.

Device Functions

Once the remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate

Input

Selector

dijl–o to change the

remote from controlling the DCR600

and

DVD600

to controlling the additional product. When you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the DCR600

or DVD600II, the controls may not correspond exactly to the function printed on the remote or button. Some commands, such as the transport controls, will operate the same way for that device as they do for the DCR600

and DVD600II. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary label on the remote. For example, the

Sleep p

and Surround Mode Selector t buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on the remote. For many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard function icons are printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particular button does not follow the command printed on the remote. In order to see which function a button controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 26 and 27. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram. Note that each button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button has for a specific device, find the button number on the Function List and then look in the column for the device you are controlling. For example, button number 7 is the Macro 2 button for the DCR600

, but it is the Repeat button for CD players, and the Favorite Channels button for cable boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button for the DCR600

, but the Time button for CD players, and Preview Channel button for many TVs, cable television boxes and satellite services.

Notes on Using the Remote

With Other Devices

• Manufacturers may use different code sets for

the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see whether the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see whether another code set will work with more buttons.

• When a button is pressed on the remote,

the red light under the

Input Selector d

–jl–o for the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed. Consult the Function List on

pages 26 and 27. Blank squares indicate that no function is programmed for that button for the corresponding device. Consult the device‘s owner‘s manual for further information.

Volume Control Punch-Through

The remote may be programmed to operate the Volume Control sw and Mute c func- tions of either the TV or the DCR600

in conjunction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the DCR600IIwill likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the volume control on the DCR600

activated, although the remote is set to run the TV. To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector dijl–

o for the source unit you wish to have asso-

ciated with the volume control and the

Mute

Button

c at the same time until the red light

appears under the

Input Selector di

–o and note that the Program

Indicator LED

will light.

2. Press the Volume Up Button s and note

that the

Input Selector dijl–

o will flash once.

3. Press either the MAIN Selector h or the

NOTE: Before programming the remote for Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through, make certain that any programming needed to assign the remote to control the specific TV, CD, DVD, cable or satellite receivers has been completed.

Reassigning Devices

Although each Input Selector dij l

–o is normally assigned to the category of product shown on the remote, it is possible to reassign one of these buttons to operate a second device of another type. For example, if you have a cable box and satellite receiver, but only one VCR, you may program the “VID2” button to operate a cable box. Before following the normal programming steps for either three-digit entry or Auto Search code entry, you must first reassign the button with the following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector dij

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, macros or ”PunchThrough“ programming that you may have done. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original factory defaults and command codes by following these steps. Note, however, that once the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will be erased and will need to be reentered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector Buttons d

–jl–o and the ”O“ Button

at the same time until the Program Indicator

LED

lights.

2. Press the ”3“ Button three times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector d

–jl–o will flash once for each

press. The

Program Indicator LED will flash

three times and go out.

4. When the Program Indicator LED goes out,

the remote has been reset to the factory settings.

The DVD600IIis more than a DVD player; it will play the following disc formats:

•

Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs

•

CD audio discs

•

DTS audio discs

•

CD-R audio discs

•

CD-RW audio discs

•

DVD movie discs

•

VCD (video CD) discs

•

MP3 audio discs

However, it will NOT play the following:

•

DVD discs with a Region Code other than

the one for which the player is set

•

DVD discs with PAL format video

•

DVD-Audio discs

•

DVD-ROM data discs

•

DVD-RAM data discs

•

CD-R/RW data discs

•

CD-I discs

•

CD-G discs

•

SVCD discs

•

Photo CD discs

Notes on DVD-Audio discs:

• The DVD600

is not capable of playing selections in the DVD-Audio format. However, many DVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in the PCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which the DVD600

is capable of playing. You may need

to press the

Title Button x rather than the

Menu Button z in order to access these

formats.

• Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picture while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this picture may disappear when play is stopped and the DVD600

is placed in the Resume mode. To restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing the

Stop Button twice before contin-

uing play. NOTE: Due to differences in the format of

certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include a mix of features that are not compatible with the DVD600

. Similarly, although the

DVD600

is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD600

is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In addition, the DVD600

is capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks available will vary from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

•

Playback of DTS audio discs requires connection to a processor or receiver with a DTS decoder, such as the DCR600

•

Playback capability for CD-R/RW discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the CD-R/RW disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format and the DVD.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, making it almost square. Newer, wide-aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and titles. Chapters are the subsections programmed into a single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button to see a listing of the chapters on a disc.

Component Video: This is an advanced form of video signal which eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite-video signals by splitting the signal into a separate luminance channel and two color-difference signals. With a component-video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections, such as the moiré patterns often seen on check-patterned cloths. However, in order to benefit from component video, you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connect the component-video outputs of the DVD600

to the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a TV or recorder.

MP3: MP3 is a format of data file containing a compressed version of an audio selection. Numerous MP3 files are available for download

from the Internet onto your personal computer. Many users are able to copy these files onto compact discs. Until recently, it has not been possible to play these discs in a standard CD or DVD player. However, the DVD600

is capable of recognizing and playing program material on MP3 audio discs.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four different views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will enable you to switch between these different views. Note that, at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple-angle scenes.

Reading: This is a message that you will see when you first press the Play button. It refers to the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see whether it is a CD or DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop button on the DVD600

works differently from what you are used to on CD or CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the Start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD600

, however, you have two options when playing CDs or DVDs (but not MP3 discs). Pressing Stop once will stop the playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press Play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. For a DVD-Audio disc, the title may be defined as the audio track, e.g., linear PCM or 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. There may be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include

Configuring the DVD600IIDVD Changer

only one title, but some may have more than one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation or to include special presentations that take you “behind the scenes” of the main feature. Press the Title button to see a listing of the titles on a disc. When a disc has only one title, pressing the Title button may show a list of the chapters.

Parental Lock and Passwords

The DVD600IIenables you to control the discs that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level greater than the default, it will not play. To further protect against unauthorized viewing of restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be locked so that only authorized persons (such as a parent) may change the ratings level after a password is entered.

The ratings system is dependent on information encoded into the DVD disc being played so, although most movies will carry an MPAA or other rating symbol, the disc may or may not contain that rating in its software. In addition to the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17, the DVD600

will accommodate a total of eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of the DVD format. These additional steps allow for more critical control of program playback for all audiences.

To select the permitted ratings values, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the

Menu Button z

while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the

Button until the

Ratings option is highlighted.

To change the default Ratings setting, press the

Setting the Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of a television picture is the relationship between its width and height, and it defines the shape of the picture. Television sets have traditionally had an aspect ratio of 4x3, which is to say that they are almost square, with slightly more width than height. Almost all television programming is presented in the 4 x 3 aspect ratio so that the pictures fit within the confines of the TV screen.

Movies, on the other hand, have a variety of what are known as “wide aspect ratio” formats that are significantly wider in relation to their height than traditional television pictures. Indeed, the development of wide-screen movies was something that was popularized in the 1950s in response to the success of television; movie producers wanted to provide a wider vista than what was afforded by TVs.

However, since many movies are produced for a wider screen than the TV set they are played on, a problem arises that is like fitting a square peg into a round hole. In many instances this is taken care of by the disc’s producers, who reformat the image to fit within a standard 4 x 3 TV screen. Discs such as this require no special setting. The only downside to this is that when wide-screen movies are converted to 4 x 3, some of the information at the sides of a scene may be cut off due to the difference in picture shape. This is also called a “pan and scan” presentation, as a 4 x 3 viewing area is moved across the wider cinema image.

Other discs are produced in what is called a “letterbox wide-screen” format. In this case, the entire wide image is fit inside the 4 x 3 screen shape from side to side. This means that you see the entire picture as the movie’s director intended, but the height of the picture is reduced to accommodate the added width. The blank areas that appear at the top and bottom of the screen make the image in the center appear as if you are looking through a mail slot, giving this sort of presentation the nickname of “letterbox.”

The DVD format accommodates both of these formats, though it is up to the producer of the disc to select which way to convert the movie to video. Sometimes you will have only one of the two formats, while some discs offer a full screen, with the pan-and-scan version on one side of a disc and the wide-screen, but letterbox version, on the other side.

The DVD600

will play either type of disc, and you may select a default that tells which way to present the image when there is a choice.

To select an aspect ratio default, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the

Menu Button z

while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the

Button until the

Aspect Ratio option is highlighted. Next, press the

Enter Button . Select one of the three

choices in the options box (Figure 13) using the

⁄/¤

Buttons y .

Figure 13

Depending on the type of television set you have, choose one of these three options:

•

4 x 3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if you have a standard 4 x 3 television set and prefer to see movies in their original aspect ratio. You will see the entire movie but, when it is presented in a letterbox fashion, there will be black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Movies or other programs recorded in a 4 x 3 format will appear normal.

•

4 x 3 Pan and Scan: Choose this setting if you have a standard 4 x 3 television set and always want the image to fill the entire screen. When a wide-screen movie is shown, you may not see parts of the picture at one side of the screen or the other. Note, however, that even when you select this option, playing a wide-screen-only movie will result in black letterbox bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is due to the way the disc was produced, and it cannot be changed.

•

16 x 9 Wide-Screen: Choose this setting only if you have a wide-screen television set

(16 x 9 aspect ratio). With this setting, the DVD600

will adjust the output for wide-screen movies so that they fill the entire screen in the proper aspect ratio. Note, however, that in this setting a disc recorded in the 4 x 3 aspect ratio will appear in the wide screen as a boxed image in the center, with black columns on the left and right sides of the screen.

NOTE: If the wide-screen option is chosen and a wide-screen movie is played on a conventional 4 x 3 aspect ratio set, the image will be distorted due to vertical compression.

When you have made your selection using the

⁄/¤

Buttons y to highlight the desired

option, press the

Enter Button and note

that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The menu system will then automatically return to the status listing.

If you have no other changes to make after setting this default, press the

Menu Button z

to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the

Play/Pause Button to

begin or resume playback.

Setting the Dynamic Range

With the DVD format you have the opportunity to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio technology. However, in certain instances you may wish to slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower volume that does not disturb others without losing dialogue intelligibility.

In most cases, it is desirable to leave the Dynamic Range setting at “OFF” so that no compression is applied to the audio, but if you wish to change to a compressed setting, follow these steps:

First, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button z while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the

Button until the Dynamic Range option

is highlighted. Next, press the

Enter Button

and select one of the two choices in the

options box using the

Play/Pause Button to

begin or resume playback.

Note that the performance of the Dynamic Range function is dependent on the audio format of the disc being played, and whether or not the disc’s soundtrack is capable of this feature.

Note that you can achieve the same effect by using the DCR600

’s Night mode. Simply press

Using the Digital Audio Output

DVD players accommodate a variety of audio formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS and the PCM audio format used by conventional CD discs and some DVD playback. The DCR600

receiver can automatically detect any of these digital formats. Depending on the format of the discs in your library, you need to set a default for the type of audio outputs accommodated.

Although the DVD600

will play all of these disc types, this setting creates a default that tells which way to present the soundtracks when there is a choice.

To select a Digital Audio Output default, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the

Button

z while the unit is in the Stop mode.

At the Setup Menu, press the

Button

until the Digital Audio Out option is highlighted. Next, press the

Enter Button . Select

one of the three choices in the options box (Figure 15) using the

⁄/¤

Buttons y .

The choices are as follows:

•

PCM:

Choose this setting if most of your

library consists of conventional CDs.

•

Dolby Digital:

Choose this setting only if you do not plan on listening to any DTS selections. Should you choose to watch a DVD movie or listen to a CD which has a DTS audio track, you must return to this menu and change this selection to DTS.

•

DTS:

We recommend that you choose this

setting, since the DCR600

receiver included with your system is capable of automatically detecting and decoding any of the three formats of DTS, Dolby Digital and PCM.

Figure 15

NOTE: If you select the DTS option, your receiver or processor MUST be capable of decoding DTS audio. If the DTS option is chosen and the unit is connected to a product that cannot support DTS, no audio will be heard when a DTS disc is played.

Remember, regardless of the option chosen, you may still have to adjust the settings on your DVD disc or audio equipment, if you do not use the DCR600

, to match the output of the

DVD600

. In addition, the choice of which audio

formats are available is limited by the type of material recorded on the disc when it was authored.

When you have made your selection using the

⁄/¤

Buttons y to highlight the desired

option, press the

Enter Button and note

that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The menu system will then automatically return to the status listing.

If you have no other changes to make after setting this default, press the

Menu Button z

to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the

Play/Pause Button to

begin or resume playback.

Setting the Linear PCM Bit Rate

If the DVD600IIdetects a high-resolution, 96kHz audio signal encoded on a disc, it can either pass the signal through to the receiver or, if the receiver is not capable of processing a 96kHz bit rate signal, the DVD600

can downsample the signal to 48kHz. The Linear PCM menu enables you to configure the DVD600

to match your receiver by selecting which bit rate the DVD600

should apply.

The bit rate is set at the factory to default to passing the full 96kHz signal through, as the DCR600

receiver is capable of processing this signal. Therefore, you should not adjust this feature unless you use the DVD600

with another receiver that is not capable of processing a 96kHz signal.

The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic II Emulation mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Logic 7 C Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either Delay time not adjustable Logic 7 M surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. The Logic 7 C, or Cinema, mode

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M, or Music, mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

Dolby 3 Stereo Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to No surround channels

create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and front right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker but no surround speakers.

Theater This mode uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or Delay time not adjustable

stage theater.

Hall 1, 2 The Hall modes offer a matrix surround choice that simulates a small (Hall 1) or medium-sized Delay time not adjustable

(Hall 2) chamber hall.

5-Channel Stereo This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and No delay is available for

back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal this mode at the front left and surround left, and front right and surround right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

Surround This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right- No surround channels Off (Stereo) channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

Operating the DCR600IIReceiver

Selecting a Surround Mode

One of the most important features of the DCR600

is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel, surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs. In all, a total of thirteen listening modes are available on the DCR600

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used. For example, motion pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the major surround-encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Movies or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes, depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the surround information as long as the program is broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or Logic 7, when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addition, a growing number of made-for-television programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and music CDs are also recorded in surround sound. You may view a list of these programs at the Dolby Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic II, Logic 7, Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural information present in all stereo recordings. However, for stereo – but not surround – programs, we suggest that you experiment with the other modes.

Surround modes are selected using either the front panel controls or the remote. To select a surround mode from the front panel, press the Surround Mode Selector 7 to scroll up or down through the list of available modes. To select a surround mode using the remote, press the

Surround Mode Selectort and then

press the

⁄/¤

Button y to change

the mode. As you press the buttons, the Surround mode name will appear in the

Main

Information Display

U, and an individual

mode indicator will also light up

CDFHI

JKL

Note that the Dolby Digital and DTS modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use. In addition, when a digital source is present, the

DCR600

will automatically select and switch to the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the following section of this manual.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel stereo, using the front left and front right speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed and configured), follow the instructions shown above for using the remote until

SURR OFF

appears in the Main Information Display U. Note that the DCR600

does not include a balance control. Also, as described elsewhere in this manual, the bass and treble adjustments are accessed by pressing the Tone Mode Button 6 followed by the Set Button ^.

Using Digital Sources

Digital audio is a major advance over older systems such as the original version of Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five discrete channels: front left, center, front right, surround left and surround right. Each channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic range and significant improvements to signal-tonoise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the capability to deliver an additional channel that is specifically devoted to low-frequency information. This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see these systems described as “5.1”. The bass channel is separate from the other channels, but since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound designers have given it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital (originally AC-3®) is a standard part of DVD, and is available on satellite broadcasts and is a part of the new high-definition television (HDTV) system. Some digital cable television systems also provide a Dolby Digital signal. However, due to cable’s inherent bandwidth limitations, this may be only a 2.0-channel version rather than full

5.1-channel Dolby Digital. Check with your cable provider.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the DCR600

to listen to the Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to the demodulator and then connect the digital output of the demodulator to the

Optical or

Coaxial Inputs ™£ of the DCR600II. No

demodulator is required for use with DVD players or DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is capable of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use dif-

ferent methods of encoding the signals, and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select DVD discs, as well as on special audioonly DTS discs. You may use any CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTSencoded discs with the DCR600

. All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either the

Optical or Coaxial Input ™£ on

the rear panel.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo on the player’s front panel. This does not indicate a problem with the DCR600

, as some players cannot pass the DTS signal through to the digital outputs. Note that, although early DVD players may not be able to play DTS-encoded DVDs, the DVD600

is compatible. If you are in doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to handle DTS discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode, you must have properly connected a digital source to the DCR600

. Connect the digital outputs from DVD

players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD players to the Optical or Coaxial Inputs ™£. The DCR600IIautomatically assigns the

Coaxial 1 Input ™to the DVD video input.

Make sure to connect the

Coaxial Digital

Output

on the back of the DVD600IIto

this input.

Since the DCR600

does not have an analog audio input available for the DVD source, if, in the future, you decide to use a different DVD player, one requiring an analog audio connection, you may wish to connect that player to the VID1, VID2 or VID3 input instead.

When playing a digital source, first select the input using the remote or front panel controls as outlined in this manual. Next, select the digital source by pressing the

Digital Input Selector

Button

* and then using the

⁄/¤

Buttons

on the remote or the Selector

Buttons

5 on the front panel to

choose any of

the

OPTICAL or COAXIAL

inputs, as

they appear in the

Main Information Display

U, or Source Indicators BE. This procedure may also be used to select an input source’s analog audio input, if available. The DCR600

does not offer an analog audio input for DVD. Note that the DVD input of the DCR600

is configured at the factory to default to the COAX 1 digital input.

(continued)

Operating the DCR600IIReceiver

When the digital source is playing, the DCR600

will automatically detect whether it is a multichannel Dolby Digital or DTS source, or a conventional PCM signal, which is the standard output from CD players. A

Bitstream Indicator A

will light in the Main Information Display ( to confirm that the digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the DCR600

senses the type of bitstream data that is present. Using this information, the correct surround mode will automatically be selected. For example, DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses PCM data from CDs, it will allow the appropriate surround sources to be selected manually. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the DCR600

uses a variety of indicators to let you know what type of signal is present. This will help you to understand the choice of modes.

When a digital source is playing, a

Bitstream

Indicator

A will light to show which type of

signal is playing:

DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D Indicator A lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being received. Depending on the settings on the source player and specific surround information and number of channels on the disc, a number of surround modes are possible. For discs with full 5.1 audio, only the Dolby Digital mode is available. When the Dolby Digital signal is only two-channel, you may also select from the Logic 7 Cinema/Music, Hall, Theater, Dolby Pro Logic II Movies/Music/Emulation, or Dolby 3 Stereo modes. When the receiver detects a 2.0-channel Dolby Digital signal, it will automatically select Dolby Pro Logic II as the surround processing mode, and both the

Dolby Digital D and

Dolby Pro Logic II F indicators will light, in

accordance with the requirements of Dolby Laboratories.

DTS: When the DTS Indicator A lights, a DTS bitstream is being received. When the unit senses this type of data, only the DTS mode may be used.

PCM: When the PCM Indicator A lights, a standard Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal is being received. This is the type of digital audio used by conventional compact disc and laser disc recordings. When a PCM bitstream is

present, all modes except Dolby Digital and DTS are available.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the DCR600

features a set of unique channel-input indicators that tell you how many channels of digital information are being received and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted.

These indicators are the L/C/R/SL/SR/LFE letters that are inside the center boxes of the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators M in the front panel

Main Information Display (.

When a standard analog signal is in use, only the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as analog signals have only left and right channels, respectively.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five or six separate channels, depending on the program material, the method of transmission and the way in which it was encoded. When a digital signal is playing, the letters in these indicators will light in response to the specific signal being received. It is important to note that although Dolby Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L” and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same soundtrack. When playing a DVD, always be certain to check the type of material on the disc. Most discs show this information in the form of a listing or icon on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may have to make some adjustments to your DVD player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1 feed to the DCR600

. It is also possible for the type of signal feed to change during the course of a DVD playback. In some cases, the previews of special material will only be recorded in 2.0 audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1 audio. As long as your DVD player is set for 6channel output, the DCR600

will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the

Speaker/Channel

Input Indicators

M also flash to indicate when a bitstream has been interrupted. This will happen when a digital input source is selected before the playback starts, or when a digital source such as a DVD is paused. The flashing indicators remind you that the playback has stopped due to the absence of a digital signal

and not through any fault of the DCR600

. This is normal, and the digital playback will resume once the playback is started again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, or Dynamic Range Compression mode, which enables these input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility while reducing the minimum peak level by

/4 to 1/3. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the impact of the digital source. The Night mode is available only when Dolby Digital signals with special data are being played.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby Digital DVD is playing by pressing the

Night

Mode Button

on the remote. Next, press

the

⁄/¤

Buttons

to select either the middle range or full-compression versions of the Night mode. To turn the Night mode off, press the

⁄/¤

Buttons

until the message in the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display U reads D-Range Off.

IMPORTANT NOTES

ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK

When the digital playback source is stopped, or in a Pause, Fast Forward or Chapter Search mode, the digital audio data will momentarily stop, and the channel position letters inside the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators M will flash. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with either the DCR600

or the source

machine. The DCR600

will return to digital playback as soon as the data is available and when the machine is in a standard play mode.

2. Although the DCR600IIwill decode virtually all DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible that some future digital sources may not be compatible with the DCR600

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the program guide that accompanies the DVD to determine which type of audio has been recorded on the disc. Also, due to bandwidth limitations, digital cable television signals may contain only a

2.0-channel Dolby Digital signal. Check with your cable provider. The DCR600

will automatically sense the type of digital surround encoding used and adjust to accommodate it.

4. When a digital source is playing, you may not be able to select some of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3 Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

Operating the DCR600IIReceiver

5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,

it is not possible to make an analog recording using the Tape ¶ and Video 1 Record Outputs ›ﬁ. However, the digital signals will be passed through to the

Digital Audio Output ¡.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the noncompressed digital audio system used for compact discs and laser discs. The digital circuits in the DCR600IIare capable of high-quality digital-to-analog decoding, and they may be connected directly to the digital audio output of your CD player.

Connections may be made to the rear panel Optical or Coaxial Inputs ™£.

To listen to a PCM digital source, first select the input for the desired source (e.g., CD). Next press the

Digital Select Button * and then

use the

⁄/¤

Buttons

on the remote,

or the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel,

until the desired digital input choice, e.g. COAX 2 or OPTICAL 1, appears in the Main Information Display U.

When a PCM source is playing, the

PCM

Indicator

A will light. During PCM playback, you may select any surround mode except Dolby Digital or DTS.

Playback from PCM sources may also benefit from the Logic 7 mode. When playing back a surround-encoded PCM source, such as a surround-encoded CD, use the Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode. When playing true stereo recordings, use the Logic 7 M (or Music) mode for a wider soundstage and increased rear-channel ambience.

Similarly, the Dolby Pro Logic II modes may also increase your enjoyment of PCM and analog sources. Choose the Music mode for stereo recordings. For surround-encoded sources, you may choose either the Emulation mode or the Movies mode, which more closely re-creates a Dolby Digital sound field with discrete information provided to the surround channels.

With the great variety of surround modes available on the DCR600

receiver, you are encouraged to experiment to find the modes that suit your tastes, as well as different modes depending on the source material.

Operating the Tuner

The tuner of the DCR600IIis capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite station presets and recalled from a 30-position memory.

the front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the DCR600

is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for

Tape Outputs ¶ or Video 1

Outputs

›ﬁ in the Record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the

Digital Audio Output ¡, you are able to

record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

•

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, the digital recorder 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

ON DVD PLAYBACK

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.

The DVD600

is capable of all the features and options covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those features and functions are available on any given disc. For that reason, not all discs will function identically, and some discs will not have many of the features of the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs do not take advantage of the multiple-angle feature. When the player displays the “Feature Prohibited” icon “

”, this indicates that the disc

has not been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the producers of DVD discs to block the use of certain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display during the playback of copyright notices, studio logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “

”, or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indicate a problem with the DVD600

, as these fea-

tures are outside of the unit’s control.

Using the Menu Bar

The DVD600IIis equipped with a powerful on-

screen display system that serves the dual purpose of showing you the current status of the DVD600

while enabling quick and easy changes to settings and functions. Depending on whether a DVD or CD is in use, the menu will vary to display information that is specific to the type of disc in play.

Menus and Controls

Buttons ` to move across the display to select the desired option. When the option to be changed is highlighted in white with yellow brackets on both sides, press the

Enter Button

to change the setting for that option.

Selecting Titles and Chapters

Some discs contain more than one title. Remember that a disc may contain one title or two separate program titles, or the disc may use the Title function to separate the special feature sections or audio tracks on the disc. The use of titles is optional with the producer of each DVD disc, as is the way in which he/she may choose to implement the feature. You may directly access any chapter while the disc is playing or in Pause mode simply by entering its number using the remote.

To change the title on those discs using the Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button

2. If needed, press the ‹

› Buttons `

until the disc icon for the current title, with the letter “T” underneath it, is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “T”

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Use the Numeric Keys – to enter the number of the title to be accessed.

6. The desired title will automatically be started.

Titles may also be selected during the playback of a DVD by pressing the

Title Button x.

However, the action of the disc when pressing this button will vary from disc to disc. On occasion, pressing this button will take you to the disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing this button will result in no action at all.

The movies or programs on most discs are divided into individual chapters, as selected by the disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar, you may view the number of the current chapter and move to any chapter on the disc.

To change the chapter using the Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button

2. Press the ‹

› Buttons ` until the

icon showing a disc and a file folder (second from left), with the letter “C” beneath it, is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “C”

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Using the Numeric Keys –, enter the number of the chapter to be accessed.

6. The desired chapter will automatically be started.

You may also simply enter the chapter number while the disc is playing to skip to that chapter.

Changing Languages (Audio)

DVD discs may contain a variety of audio tracks, including foreign languages, special commentaries, descriptive video for the sight-impaired, and various digital formats. Some DVD-Audio discs that contain linear PCM or Dolby Digital

5.1 audio tracks may allow you to access these tracks using the Audio feature described in this section. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the audio track, but you may change the audio track at any time using the Menu Status Bar and following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button

2. Press the ‹

› Buttons ` until the

speaker icon (third from the left) is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the current language type (Figure 19).

Figure 19

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired audio track is displayed. Note that the audio tracks available on a disc will vary and that they are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.

6. Within a few seconds, the disc will continue play with the newly selected audio track.

Note that the audio track type selected in this fashion is temporary and will only remain in effect until the player is turned off. When the unit is turned on for subsequent play, the default audio type will always be used.

The audio track may also be selected during the playback of a DVD by pressing the

Audio

Button

t. After pressing the button, the audio

track may be changed by pressing the

Enter

Button

until the desired audio track is

shown. Note, however, that some discs do not

allow audio track change while a disc is playing. When the

Audio Button t is pressed on this

type of disc, the player will go to the disc’s own menu page for audio track selection. In this case, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y`

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the

Enter Button .

The functionality of the

Audio Button t may

vary from disc to disc. Many discs will allow you to change the playback language while the disc is playing, as noted earlier. However, when the Audio Button t is pressed with some discs, playback will stop and you will be taken to the disc’s own audio menu. At that menu, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y` to high-

light the desired playback language. Press the Enter Button when the choice is made and the disc will either resume playback or take you to the disc’s main menu. Note that these functions are controlled by information programmed within the disc, and are outside of the control of the DVD600

DVD discs may contain a variety of subtitles. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the subtitle language, but you may change that language at any time using the Menu Status Bar and by following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button

2. Press the ‹

› Buttons ` until the

letter “S” icon (fourth from the left) is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the subtitle language (Figure 20).

Figure 20

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired subtitle language is displayed. Note that the subtitles available on a disc will vary, and they are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover. Some discs may not offer alternative subtitles, or any subtitles at all.

6. Press the Subtitle On/Off Button and the

Enter Button and within a few sec-

onds the disc will continue to play with the newly selected subtitle language.

Note that the subtitle language selected in this fashion is temporary, and will remain in effect

until the player is turned off. When the unit is turned on for subsequent play, the default subtitle language will always be used.

The subtitle language may also be selected during the playback of a DVD by pressing the Subtitle Button . After pressing the button, the language may be changed by pressing the

Enter Button until the desired choice

is shown. Note, however, that some discs do not allow audio track change while the disc is playing. When the

Subtitle Button is

pressed, the player will go to the disc’s own menu page for subtitle disc selection. In this case, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y`

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the

Enter Button .

IMPORTANT NOTE: The steps indicated on

the page allow you to change the subtitle language, but they do not determine whether the subtitles are actually displayed on the screen. To have the subtitles appear at any time, press the

Subtitle On/Off Button to toggle the

subtitles on or off with each press of the button. When the subtitles are active, a check-mark icon “

✔” will appear in the box to the right of

the subtitle description as shown earlier.

Also note that some DVD discs do not contain subtitles. When the

Subtitle On/Off Button

is pressed on a disc with no subtitles, the

Prohibit icon “

” will appear on screen.

Changing Camera Angles

A special feature of the DVD format is its capability of showing more than one view, or camera angle, of the same scene. This feature enables you to become the director, selecting the view of a scene that you wish. Note, however, that this feature does not appear on many discs and, when it does appear, it will typically be for only certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s program. If you attempt to use the multiple-angle feature on a disc that is not programmed for it, you may see the “Prohibited Feature” icon “

” on the screen. This is not a fault of the player; it simply indicates that the feature is not available on the disc being played.

To see whether a disc contains multiple angles, check the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc does contain scenes with multiple angles, the producers will usually include some sort of special on-screen icon to alert you to the availability of different angles of view. When you see such an icon, the angle may be changed by the following steps:

1. Press the Status Button e.

Time Display Selection

When playing CDs, the DVD600IIis capable of displaying the time displays that you are familiar with from traditional CD-only players. The choice of a time display is made through the use of the on-screen Menu Bar, but any changes to the display will also change the Time Display mode for the Information Display.

•

Disc Remain: This shows the total time remaining for all tracks on the disc that have not yet been played.

Playing MP3 and Video CD Discs

The DVD600IIis rare among DVD players in that it is able to play discs containing MP3 audio files. This means that you may enjoy the latest music, using discs created in your computer, through the high quality audio components in your home the

ater system. As the way that MP3

files are recorded

on discs differs from the way conventional CD audio discs are structured, MP3 playback is somewhat different from standard CDs.

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer

MP3 Disc Playback

When the DVD600IIreads a disc and recognizes it as an MP3 disc, no

Disc Type Indicator

will light; however, a listing of all the directories and tracks on the disc will appear on the video screen. (Figure 23). Note that the right side of the screen will initially be blank, as that is used for programming playlists for MP3 playback. The black box in the upper left corner of the screen will show the Play symbol while a track is playing, or the Play/Pause symbol when a track has been paused, or no symbol when the unit is in Stop mode. The box in the top center of the display will contain the file name of the currently selected track.

The second row of boxes will display, from left to right, an indication of whether the current mode is Standard Play, Random Play or Repeat Play; the track number currently playing, and the elapsed time of the current track.

Figure 23 To play a track, press the

⁄/¤

NOTES ON MP3 PLAYBACK

•

The Fast Forward and Reverse Search modes are not available during MP3 playback.

•

During MP3 playback the

Program Time

Indicators will show the elapsed time of

the track being played. Other time display options are not available with MP3 playback.

•

The DVD600

is only compatible with standard MP3-encoded discs. Other compressed audio formats used for Internet audio downloads will not play on the DVD600

•

Due to the differences in various versions of the MP3 format, and the many differences between the CD-R machines used to record MP3 discs on a computer, it is possible that some MP3 discs may not play on the DVD600

even though they will work on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate a fault with the unit.

•

When a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 content is in use, the DVD600

will play only the CD audio sections of the disc.

•

When an MP3 disc with multiple directories is playing, the DVD600

will search out all MP3 files on the disc and list them in the onscreen display in the order in which the directories are structured on the disc. Note that if the same title is used for tracks in different directories, this may result in the same title appearing more than once in the track listings.

Programmed Playback of MP3 Discs

The DVD600IIis capable of creating playlists up to 130 tracks long with the MP3 files on a properly recorded disc. To create a playback list for MP3 titles, follow these steps:

VCD Playback

VCD is a format that predates DVD which is based on a different compression format than DVD and a recording method that is similar to CDs. Although the DVD has, for the most part, replaced VCD as a format, the DVD600

offers VCD playback so that you may play your existing library of VCD discs.

(continued)

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer

There are two versions of the VCD format: an early version which is simply called “VCD” and a later version with Playback Control which is called “Version 2.0” or “PBC”. The DVD600

is compatible with both forms of VCD, although playback will vary according to which version is used and the specific way in which the disc was created.

However, the DVD600

is not capable of playing SVCD (Super Video CD) discs. Also, do not confuse the Video CD format with the photo CDs that you may receive when developing a roll of film. Photo CDs may not be viewed using the DVD600

Even though VCD discs provide video, since the format is based on CD technology, the playback functions for a VCD disc operate very closely to those for CD. To play a VCD disc, place it in the DVD600

as you would any other CD or DVD disc. After the unit takes a few seconds to read the disc’s contents the VCD segment of the Disc Type Indicators will light and the disc will begin playing. If the disc has been created under VCD Version 2.0, or if it otherwise allows Playback Control functionality, the letters PBC will appear in the Title/Track Indicators

However, keep in mind that the exact level of functionality for any VCD will vary widely and it is ultimately determined by the way the disc was created, not by the DVD600

When playing VCD discs, most standard DVD/CD playback controls function as normal, including Play, Stop, Pause, Forward or Reverse Slow Play, and Fast Forward or Reverse Search (x2, 4x and 8x speeds). The indications for fast play in either direction work as described for CD playback.

Using the On-Screen Status Bar

for VCD Playback

When playing many VCD discs, it is possible to access the disc’s features using the on screen menu bar in the same manner as shown for CD playback. Note, however, that the while the IntroScan icons will appear in the menu bar, the IntroScan feature is not available for VCD discs.

Use of other functions will vary according to the disc type. With some VCD discs, you may select a track using the Track function on the menu bar. If the menu bar is not visible on the screen press the

Status Button e to recall it to the

screen. Note that when

PBC appears under the disc icon in the far left position of the menu bar it is not possible to change track numbers directly.

Depending on the disc’s functionality, some VCD discs allow the time display to be changed in the same manner as described for CD discs.

Playback Control

VCD discs made under the Revision 2.0 specification will usually offer PBC, or playback control. With PBC many discs include chapter selection menus that are similar to those found on DVDs. However, on VCD discs the menus are recalled and controlled differently than on DVD discs.

•

To view the menu options on a PBC disc, press the

Next or Previous

buttons on the remote or the Skip Forward/

Reverse Buttons

on the front panel.

•

Once the menu options appear on the screen, make your selection by pressing the

Numeric

Button

- that corresponds to your desired choice. The desired selection will begin playingautomatically.

Note that the Menu Button used during DVD playback is not used for VCD playback.

Repeat Play

The DVD600IIoffers five repeat functions that allow you to take advantage of the five-disc capacity of the unit for unattended playback:

•

Repeat All: Plays all discs in the unit in order from beginning to end.

•

Repeat 1 Disc: Plays the current disc from start to finish until the disc is manually stopped.

•

Repeat Title: For DVD discs only, this mode repeats the title currently being played until the disc is manually stopped.

•

Repeat Track/Chapter: Repeats the CD track or DVD chapter currently being played until the disc is manually stopped.

•

Repeat A–B: Repeats any selected portion of a disc until the disc is manually stopped.

To select Repeat All, Repeat 1 Disc, Repeat Title or Repeat Track/Chapter, simply press the

or › Button to move to the

next selection.

3. The second box will now be highlighted to indicate that a selection for track or title is to be made. As the DVD600

already knows the disc type for the position selected, the heading over the box will indicate “Track” for CD discs and “Title” for DVD discs. The number in parentheses under the box shows the maximum number of tracks or titles on the disc. If “99” appears, it indicates that the disc selected has not yet been played and the unit does not yet know the type of disc and how many titles or tracks are available.

4. Press the

Note that most DVD movie discs use “Title 1” for movies, while “Title 2” is used for the opening logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting a DVD title number, you may wish to preview the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active to see which title numbers refer to each portion of the disc. This is particularly important in discs with large amounts of special feature material.

Troubleshooting

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the receiver’s operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit’s operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem.

To clear the receiver’s entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit in Standby by pressing the

System

Power Control Button

2. Next, press and

hold the

Tone Mode 6 and the FM Mode

Selector

@ buttons for three seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display the

RESET message in the Main

Information Display

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes and digital input assignments, as well as the tuner presets. After a reset, the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized JBL service center.

In the event that you forget the password for the DVD600

, you may reset it to the factory default by following this procedure: In Standby mode, press the

Search Reverse and

Skip Forward buttons on the front panel

simultaneously for more than 3 seconds. The Information Display will light, and a test pattern will appear on your TV. Press the

System Power Control to proceed.
