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 DCR600II and DVD600II on pages 17 and 21 when connecting your equipment.

What We Recommend

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.

ALTERNATE INSTALLATION FOR BEST PICTURE QUALITY: Your TV must have Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs (three separate RCA connectors with red-, blueand green-colored cores), and Left (usually has a white-colored core) and Right (red-colored core) Stereo audio preamp-level RCA outputs. The component video cable is not included and should be purchased separately. This setup requires that the TV’s own video switching is utilized to access the DVD picture. All other video switching is still done through the DCR600II.

	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 DCR600II 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.

Selector.

b Power On Button: Turns on the power to a device selected by pressing its Input Selector.

c Mute Button: Press to momentarily silence the DCR600II or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected.

When the remote is being programmed to operate an external device, such as a CD player, this button is pressed, together with the Input Selector button for the new device, to begin the programming process.

d DVD Input Selector: Pressing this button will perform three actions: 1) If the DCR600II is not turned on, it will power up. 2) It will select DVD as the input source.

3) It will switch to the page for the DVD600II, which will cause the remote to operate only the DVD changer. Press the Main Button h to return the remote to control of the DCR600II receiver.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The remote control for the JBL Cinema ProPack 600II may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the DCR600II and 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 DVD600II, 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 DVD600II.
		If you would like to make an adjustment that
		affects the DCR600II receiver, such as turning
		the volume up or down, you must first go to
		the page for the DCR600II by 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 DVD600II –
		Play, Forward and Reverse Search, Stop,
		Pause, and Previous and Next Chapter/Track
	22	Skip – may be accessed from the “Main” page,
		without having to jump to the DVD page.

e Status Button: This button operates only when the DVD600II has been selected. When a disc is playing, pressing this button will display the Status Banner, which contains information about the disc and enables you to change the functions.

This button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected.
