How This Manual Is Organized

In this manual we have incorporated some special features :

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not repeated

in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the information about
setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common Operations section.

• Name of the buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.

• When we are talking about the Function rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the first letter is

capitalized.
The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know. We’ve enjoyed
making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many features built into your

to your television system.

NTSC ................ for NTSC exclusive TV.

PAL ................... for PAL exclusive TV.

P AL AUTO ........ for Multisystem TV.

PAL AUTO detects the formula of the disc (NTSC/PAL) automatically and plays the

image on the screen correctly.

Note :

• Select the mode before you play the disc. If you change the mode during play , images may get distorted.

In this situation, stop the player and reset the mode.

• When you play an NTSC disc in P AL AUTO mode on a PAL exclusive TV, the image may be distorted.

If this happens, change the mode to “PAL”.

• When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a Multisystem TV, the image may blink for a

moment. This symptom is caused by the Player detecting the formula of the disc, not by a malfunction of
the Player.

You can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet.
Your System is ready for action and it is just waiting for your
command!

COMPU PLAY

COMPU PLA Y is JVC’ s feature that allows you to control the most frequently used functions of the System
