Disc-related terms
DVD ±R / DVD ±RW
DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold
4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as
much. There are no dual layer single sided recordable
discs.
VCD (Video CD)
A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along with quality stereo sound.
MPEG
MPEG is an international standard for video and audio
compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for
VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound
coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG
audio.
MP3
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
JPEG
Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed
file format that allows you to save images with no limit
on the number of colors.
DivX
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec
which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression
standard for video.You will be able to play DivX
movies using this DVD player.
PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)
Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD)
version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still
pictures of high resolution can be played if they are
included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with
PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio
CDs.
Title (DVD video discs only)
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For
example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2,
and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is
assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it
easily.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the
chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters
may not be recorded.
Scene (VCD)
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in
the menu screen and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is
composed of one or several tracks.
Track
A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the picture or sound track for a specific language
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.
Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one
track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks
of audio.

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice
is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made,
this unit passes each type of signal through without
any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without
losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Programme Delivery Control (PDC)
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) system adjusts
the start and end times of a timer record event. This can
be particularly useful with sports events which may run
over into extra time. The PDC signal is transmitted by
the broadcaster and this controls your video recorder’s
timer. Currently only a limited number of TV companies
transmit PDC signals. Please make sure that when
recording from channels that do not broadcast PDC that
you turn PDC OFF.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain
an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as
originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:

Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.
Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of

plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—
switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to
