Introduction

English

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

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 10 to 12.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

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 this 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, and then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Connecting Antennas

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.

• AM loop antenna (1)

• FM antenna (1)

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• Composite video cord (1)

• AC plug adaptor (1) If any is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries — UM-4/AAA/IEC R03 — into the remote control, by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings on the battery compartment. When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

ANTENNA

FM [75 ]

1 Attach the FM antenna to the FM [75 Ω]

coaxial terminal.

2 Extend the FM antenna. 3 Fasten it up in the position which gives you

the best reception, then fix it on the wall, etc.

About the supplied FM antenna

The FM antenna supplied with this unit can be used as temporary measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.

• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from battery leakage.

About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals

• Through the LINE OUT (L/R) jacks and MAIN SPEAKERS/SUBWOOFER terminals:

Analog stereo signals are output. When playing a source encoded with Dolby Digital* ( ) or with MPEG Multichannel, multichannel signals are mixed to the left and right front channel signals, then output.

– You cannot reproduce the sound encoded DTS Digital

Surround** ( ).

• Through the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminal: Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, MPEG Multichannel) are output through this terminal. To reproduce the multichannel sounds such as Dolby Digital, MPEG Multichannel, and DTS Digital Surround, connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multichannel sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” and “DTS” settings correctly.

Maintenance

English

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

Handling discs

• 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.

Handling cassette tapes

• 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

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

Glossary

Dolby Digital

This is a digital audio compression format that was developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital encoding method (socalled 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. To reproduce these original surround signals, you need to connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with Dolby Digital.

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. To reproduce these surround signals, you need to connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with DTS Digital Surround.

English

Linear PCM

This is a digital recording format that is used for audio CDs.

MPEG Audio/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.) MPEG Multichannel is 5.1 channel surround using MPEG Audio coding format.

Playback Control (PBC)

When a VCD has the PBC (Playback Control) function, you can enjoy menu-driven operations and high-resolution still pictures.

Sampling Frequency, Quantization Bits

When analog signals are converted into digital signals, they are divided into many points and digitized. This dividing method is called “sampling.” The sampling frequency indicates how many points one second is divided into – for example, for CD sound, one second is divided into 44100 points since its sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz. On the other hand, the number of quantization bits indicates the volume size used to memorize each divided point. The larger this number is, the clearer the sound can be reproduced.
