We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons on

the remote control. You can also use the buttons and controls on the front panel if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the remote control. If operation using the front panel is different from that using the remote control, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the front panel, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, etc., which are explained in the section “Basic Operations” on pages 14 to 17.

• The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Furthermore, it gives you information about what is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular CD.

• The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or JPEG files are recorded on them. However, they may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur: – Some discs may not be played back. – Some tracks on an MP3 or JPEG disc are skipped and may not

be played back normally.

– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

Disc structure

DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.

SVCD, VCD, and CD consist of “tracks.” In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by indexes. This unit is not compatible with Index function.)

Playback Control function (PBC)—SVCD and VCD only

The Playback Control function enables menu-driven operation.

Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a SVCD and VCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. See the example illustration below about basic feature of menudriven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 32).

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.” There are following limitations about the numbers of files and of groups this unit can recognize.

• Total number of files on a disc: 1000

• Total number of groups: 99

• Total number of files in each group: 150

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by “groups.” There are following limitations about the numbers of files and of groups this unit can recognize.

• Total number of files on a disc: 1000

• Total number of groups: 99

• Total number of files in each group: 150

You can compress the dynamic range (the difference of the loudest sound to the softest sound) to enjoy a powerful sound even at a low volume level when listening to Dolby Digital software. This is useful when enjoying the Surround sound at night. The effectiveness varies depends on a software.

Select one of the following settings:

AUTO • When SURROUND SETTING is set to “OFF”

Applies the compression effect to the mixed-down multi-channel sound.

• When SURROUND SETTING is set to “AUTO” or

“ON”

Any compression effect will not be applied to the multi-channel sound. You can enjoy the original surround sound.

ON Applies the compression effect. Select to always use this

function for all Dolby digital software. Loud sound will become low and vice versa.

AUTO • If Dolby Digital or DTS multi-channel software is

played back, the corresponding Surround mode will be turned on automatically.

• If Dolby Surround signal comes in, Dolby Pro Logic will be turned on.

• If Linear PCM (used for CD, SVCD, VCD and some DVDs), MPEG Multichannel, or MP3 sound is played back, the Surround mode will be turned off.

ON • If multi-channel software is played back, the

corresponding Surround mode—Dolby Digital or DTS—will be turned on automatically.

• If 2-channel software is played back, Dolby Pro Logic will be turned on.

OFF The Surround mode will be deactivated for all discs.

Glossary

Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.

Component video signal

A video signal system where elements necessary for reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such as R/G/ B, Y/P

Composite video signal

A video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique, burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction, and synchronization signal.

Dolby Digital

This is a digital audio compression technology that was developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1 channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with stereo and surround effects.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel (monaural) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this unit decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals—matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.

DTS Digital Surround

Another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format, available on CD, LD, and DVD software, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

Interlaced scanning

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies in on a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted by placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

, etc., are available.

B/PR

MPEG Multichannel

Digital audio compression format used for PAL/SECAM DVD software. (MPEG stands for “Moving Picture Experts Group” and has been originally developed for compressing video signals.) To reproduce these original surround signals, you need to connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with MPEG Multichannel.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multi-angle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multi-angle function.

Multi-channel

DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack constitute one sound field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.

Multi-language

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is generally called a multilanguage title.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on SVCD/VCD for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on SVCD/VCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Progressive scanning

By progressive scanning, all the horizontal lines of a picture are displayed at one time as a single frame on a TV compatible with NTSC color system. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD VIDEO into progressive format for a progressive TV. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

Region code

A system for allowing discs to be played only in the regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches to that of a player, the player can play back the disc.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit per second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system for high efficiency.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

Handling cassette tapes

English

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette deck become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

• Discontinuous sound

• Fading

• Incomplete erasure

• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers

Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape: — In dusty places — In direct sunlight or heat — In moist areas — Near a magnet

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the followings.

— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. — DO NOT wipe it strong. — DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. — DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides
