• If the power cable is not connected to an AC outlet, the CEC function does not work, even when the main
unit is connected to CEC devices.
• Not all HDMI devices are compatible with CEC. If the main unit is connected to non-CEC compatible
devices, these devices cannot be controlled using the CEC function.
• The CEC function may not work with some CEC devices. (When the main unit is connected to a non-JVC
product, the CEC function may not work.)
• The CEC function may not work depending on the settings or status of the main unit or the connected CEC
devices.
• When connecting the main unit to a TV with an HDMI cable for the first time after purchase, confirm that
“JVC” (the initial screen) appears.
• When you disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it again, confirm that “JVC” appears.

Reference
Some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stains on them.
Only sounds can be played back from the following
discs:
MIX-MODE CD CD-G
CD-EXTRA CD TEXT
This system accommodates the PAL and NTSC
systems. When you play back an NTSC disc with
the video signal type set to “PAL. 576I”,
“PAL. 576P”, “PAL. 720P”, “PAL.1080I” or
“PAL.1080P” (refer to page 11), the NTSC video
signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code
number is loaded, playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs,
SVCDs or DivX files, their actual operation
may be different from what is explained in
this manual. This is due to the disc/file programming and disc/file structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Cleaning discs
Signal surface
Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft
cloth.
• Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause
sound dropout.
• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners
for analog records, or other chemical agents.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
/File 1
This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files
on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to
999 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a
disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with
numbers exceeding 999 and the groups with numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.
If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/
WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a
disc, those files are also counted in the total number of files.
